June 22, 2018 · by · in Experiments, Mains · 11 Comments

Grilled pizza, where have you been all my life?  No really…This dish is easier to make than I realized and something that everyone should try.  I’m hooked. We first had grilled pizza when my cousin filled the table with a decadent variety of pies at a family reunion.  The crust had a great crunch and […]

I’m back! And boy what a month it has been. Since I last posted, I’ve spent a week of vacation in Rocky Mountain National Park, we bought our first home, transported our boxes, and today summer officially ended as I returned to work.  From sunrise to sunset I’ve been leaning into these experiences and haven’t […]

Farro. Welcome to my life! Summer cooking in my house typically consists of grilling various marinated meats as well as salads that combine as many veggies, grains and beans that I can fit into a bowl.  Recently, a friend suggested that I try farro, as I love both quinoa and barley, and boy was she […]

Arugula Salad with Pine Nuts and Pecorino

I know, I know. It’s just a salad.  And in a way, it’s strange to post about it, because it’s just so simple.  But this salad is one that anyone can make and one that brings some ‘spice’ to any table.  Peppery arugula, salty cheese, warm pine nuts, and the tangy lemon make a little […]

Panko Crusted Chicken with Dijon Arugula Salad

Back to work today, which meant finding a dinner that was quick and easy to prepare!  Throughout Christmas visits I spent a few minutes interrogating everyone about their favorite cookbooks, recipes, tips, and/or anything they were willing to share. (Is it obvious yet that I’m having far too much fun with this?)   My Aunt raved […]
