Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Yum you guys, this recipe is fabulous!  I bookmarked it almost a year ago and remembered it when we were working on our grocery list for the week.  I wanted potato soup, Tyler wanted a veggie soup, this was our version of compromise.  I ended up leaving out the carrots as my digestive system does [...]

Mushroom-Herb Mac n Cheese

I’ve stayed out of the kitchen as much as possible since starting my new job in June, but I finally got up the energy and inspiration to make dinner this weekend, and try a new recipe to boot.  Tyler was happy to have a break I’m sure (and I’m happy to have a break from [...]

Chicken Lasagna Florentine

Tyler’s dad made this dish a couple of months ago and we loved it, so when I was over there last week I copied down the recipe, then tweaked it a bit.  Tyler’s dad made his own cream of mushroom soup instead of using the canned stuff, which was awesome.  I think next time we [...]

Slow cooker meals can be hit or miss, but this one was a keeper. Perfect for a cold day like today. I chopped the veggies last night while I was making this soup for dinner. Put them in a Ziploc in the fridge so all I had to do was throw everything in the slow [...]

Adventures with Puff Pastry

Well my first attempt to cook with puff pastry didn’t turn out quite as I had planned.  I forgot that you have to, you know, thaw the frozen puff pastry.  So making this meal took much longer than it should have!  My puff pastry also didn’t really cook in the center   I don’t know [...]

Down Home Cookin’

With an ice storm brewing I figured it was a good weekend for some classic comfort food. I had two ingredients in my kitchen I was anxious to use. 1: the chicken legs I bought a couple of months ago that were still sitting in the freezer and 2: the gorgonzola cheese I got for [...]

Cream of Comfort

Welcome to the new home of our food blog! We hope you find it easier to navigate and pleasing to the eye (and palate!) It’s rare that I cook with cream of _(fill in the blank)__ soups, but I remembered making this recipe sometime last winter and was suddenly craving it. My favorite part are [...]
