(happy sigh) This chowder is heavenly. Full of broccoli and cheese and deliciousness. I made it on a snow day recently and just in the nick of time. Right after I took it off the stove and headed out to shovel some snow (with my belly full and warm of this amazing soup), my sister… Continue reading Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

French Chicken Broccoli Supreme
Are you sick of making casseroles with cream of *insert whatever has been creamed* soup? This broccoli chicken bake has a rich creamy sauce that you make yourself in just a few quick minutes. The taste is fantastic, similar to what you'd get with a condensed soup...but so much better. It has a crunchy buttery… Continue reading French Chicken Broccoli Supreme
Chicken Pot Pie
Homemade chicken pot pie rocks my world. It shouldn't even be called the same food as those store bought frozen bricks masquerading as pot pies. You know the ones I'm talking about. Green box. Frozen food aisle. If you think those are tasty, it's because you have never had the pleasure of a real food… Continue reading Chicken Pot Pie
Fried Mozzarella Balls
I have tried the fried cheese at just about every restaurant in the Seattle area. I love it. In sticks, wedges or balls. With marinara, sprinkled with parmesan, panko, breadcrumbs or beer battered. I would eat it in a box. I would eat it with a fox. I would eat it here or there. I… Continue reading Fried Mozzarella Balls
Zucchini Pizzas
Stay with me. I know the title of this recipe sounds a little odd. But I promise, these are delicious. Sort of like a deep-fried zucchini meets a pepperoni pizza. In one delicious mouthful. Not much goes better with a lazy Sunday watching football than pizza. Unfortunately, I've already way surpassed my quota for slices… Continue reading Zucchini Pizzas
Spiced Honey Lemon Chicken & Sweet Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
I realized the other day (with horror) that I have never made brussels sprouts. Maybe a carry-over from childhood rearing it's ugly head in my adult life? I didn't like them when I was little - really the only veggie I have no taste for - so I've never thought to make them for my… Continue reading Spiced Honey Lemon Chicken & Sweet Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
Vegetable and Four Cheese Stuffed Shells
Boy, the Italians sure know what they are doing with food. I could stay happily fed for the rest of my life with all the varieties of cheese, pasta and red sauce from that region. This by far my favorite vegetarian dinner. Full of spinach and broccoli and oozing with cheesy goodness wrapped in a… Continue reading Vegetable and Four Cheese Stuffed Shells
Chicken Corn Chowder
Oh the humanity!! Protect your children!! It's (insert dramatic pause and deep announcers voice) Snowmageddon 2012!! It's not often that Seattle gets snow. It's even less frequent that we get pounded with a snowstorm that leaves anything but a trace of the white stuff. However, I currently have 8 inches blanketing my neighborhood with a… Continue reading Chicken Corn Chowder
Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
Marinated Flank Steak – Carne Asada
I will never be a vegetarian. Unless the world runs out of cows. In that case, I'd be motivated enough to figure out a way to repopulate the species. Just so I could have this steak. I love it. It makes me happy. You don't have to wait until summer to BBQ ya' know. I… Continue reading Marinated Flank Steak – Carne Asada
