  • Mac and Cheese with Peas and Pancetta

    Mac and Cheese with Peas and Pancetta

    I made this macaroni and cheese a few weeks ago with the intention of sharing it with you. Unfortunately right before I wrote this post, I was convinced I had lost the recipe. I was in a panic. “What was the secret ingredient? Could I recreate it?” Keegan thought I should make it again to…

  • Spinach Artichoke Dip

    Long ago, I was a very picky eater and as a result, was extremely suspicious about food. Spinach and artichokes just sounded like something I wouldn’t like, so I avoided spinach artichoke dip at every bar and grill I frequented. I had questionable taste, which can also be proven by the cow print purse I carried in…

  • Pizza Popcorn

    Here I am, glamorously watching T.V. in my polka dot socks. This is real life, people, and those socks are comfy.

  • At the Market: Zucchini with Almonds & Parmesan

    Zucchini is one my favorite summer vegetables. At our house, we eat it at least once a week in warmer months. Typically, I use this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, which is easy and delicious. Although it’s always a hit, I wanted to switch it up a bit. Using some of the same ingredients, zucchini, parmesan and almonds,…

  • Pasta Bake

    The second recipe from my kitchen clean out, a pasta bake, is not the most original, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious. Tomatoes and onion form the basis of a simple sauce, while melted mozzarella and parmesan create a cheesy bubbling crust.

  • Risotto

    Anytime I see risotto on a menu, I order it. I’m a lot like Pavlov’s dog in that way. Which is really silly, because I know how to make risotto. And, can I tell you a little secret? It’s really easy to make.* Now, some of you might disagree, and I will concede that it…

    This recipe is summer personified. Roma tomatoes, fresh basil and whole wheat pasta make a wholesome and sunny meal that comes together in minutes. Because this recipe uses only a few ingredients, make sure the ones you select are of a high quality. Perfectly ripe tomatoes, good Parmigiano Reggiano and high quality evoo are essential to making…
