Meatless Monday strikes again! This is one of my very favorite pasta dishes. Full of veggie flavor and rich creamy pasta. It comes together quickly and is good for parties, potlucks or just an evening at home with the family. Not the most photogenic dinner in the world but oh so tasty. Enjoy! Spinach Artichoke… Continue reading Spinach Artichoke Pasta Bake
Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
My first experience with fish tacos was in Maui. My husband and I went to a little dive in Kihei and drank Mai Tais and enjoyed numerous fish tacos. It was bliss. I was hooked (ha-ha-ha) at first bite (ok, I'll stop now). Since returning from our second honeymoon, I've tried recreating the delicious spice… Continue reading Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
Honestly? These are kind of like homemade hot pockets. At least that's what the hubby tells me. I've never personally had a hot pocket. Just add it to the list of things "all" children of the 80's have eaten that I haven't. Also included are pop tarts & hamburger helper. What can I say? My… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Empanadas
Sweet & Sour Chicken Slaw
I got this recipe out of a BHG magazine and I absolutely love it. Kick up your standard boring coleslaw with the addition of sweet apples, tender chicken and a great dressing. It all comes together in a flash, perfect for the 4th of July and summer BBQ's! This is also an incredibly light meal… Continue reading Sweet & Sour Chicken Slaw
Bubble & Squeak
My daughter became obsessed with this dinner when she heard about it from her Nanny. My family's roots are embedded deeply in our English heritage and my mom loves to tell my kids about all things British. Traditionally this meal is made using leftovers from a roast or ham., thrown together with potatoes and cabbage… Continue reading Bubble & Squeak
Spinach & Cheese Tortellini
Throw dinner together tonight with this quick and easy tortellini dish. Once a week I make something without meat in it. This dish has lots of fresh and filling vegetables wrapped in a creamy sauce with rich cheesy tortellini. It would be easy to throw some chicken into if you really can't give up your… Continue reading Spinach & Cheese Tortellini
Apple Cheddar Penne Pie
Or as I've decided to call it: Fancy Pants Mac n' Cheese. I love everything about this dinner. First of all, anything that I get to eat as a main dish with "pie" in the title is awesome in my book. I've always heard how great cheese is on top of apple pie (but never… Continue reading Apple Cheddar Penne Pie
Chicken Parmesan Bake
Chicken Parmesan is my absolute favorite meal. While growing up I got to pick my birthday meal and chicken parm was my choice every single year. I never grow tired of it. It is perfection. Juicy chicken wrapped in crispy breading all smothered in rich marinara sauce and drenched with melty cheese - oh I… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Bake
Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
Sometimes, it's really awkward to be a food blogger. I always feel really silly when I'm at a party taking pictures of food. But, since some of the best things I make are taken elsewhere to be consumed, I really don't have a choice. So, I whip out my trusty Canon and snap a couple… Continue reading Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
