Chicken Piccata
Chicken piccata is one of those comfort food dishes that tastes best after a long, hard day. Thank goodness Dad and I had plans to cook piccata together because after this wild day I was in need of some comfort! When I rolled over on Thursday morning and saw 9:00am blinking on the clock I […]
Lemon Basil Chicken Quinoa Bowl
Dinner time feels a bit different now that there is another little being living in the house with us. For starters we are preparing and eating dinner far earlier than ever before. Previously we were the type to start cooking in the 7 range when we both were home from work and would eat […]
Lemon Garlic Hummus
Ok people, it’s a HEAT WAVE up in here. My house was built in 1910 and back then New England didn’t get to 98 degrees in August so I don’t have any air conditioning beyond the window unit that we’ve installed in our bedroom. I’m sitting here with a fan literally in my face as […]
Farfalle with Asparagus, Olives, and Feta
This pasta was inspired by the fact that my husband was recently working late and I wanted to make a dish filled with things he hates! I do often eat asparagus and olives, but it’s rare that we have them in a main dish as eating common meals cuts down on preparation and waste. Case […]
Jalapeno Herbed Salmon over Smashed Potatoes [Instant Pot]
Summer has arrived and with that comes longer nights and just a bit more time to make dinner after work. I’ve been playing around more and more with the Instant Pot to find recipes that are enhanced by using this tool. Turns out the Instant Pot is quite versatile but I’m finding that some things […]
Cold Lemony Farro Salad with Green Beans, Tomatoes, and Feta
Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and I am happy to report that after being jostled about for the last month or so I have emerged a healthier and stronger version of myself. For anyone who has experienced the effects of cancer within your family you know how it can shake any sense […]
Barley and Butternut Squash Pilaf
Unfortunately we had to postpone our Friends Thanksgiving this weekend due to a health scare in the family as my grandfather-in-law recently accepted hospice care. The news brought a deep sadness into our home, but in this season of giving thanks I tip my hat to hospice and the incredible service that they provide. Their […]
Chicken Provencal
With both of my parents having birthdays in November, we’ve always enjoyed a ‘joint birthday’ hot pot dinner in the middle of the month. While I actually don’t remember where this tradition started, it sure has became a marker of the transition from fall to winter. Each year we would laboriously cut pounds of chicken, […]
Lemony Shrimp Risotto with Arugula
Well, for the last 10 days or so, I’ve been curled up sick in bed, and haven’t stepped foot in the kitchen. Last night I had a surge of energy and it felt soo good to play around with a new recipe. I turned to Giada, as I knew she wouldn’t let me down with […]
