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
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
Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Is there someone in your life who seems perpetually stuck at a certain age? Until recently, I've always thought of my baby sister as the age she was when I left home. In my mind she just kind of stopped growing up. Probably because I didn't see her every day, I got involved in my… Continue reading Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Homemade Mini-Corndogs
My kids LOVE corndogs. They would eat them breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them. Seriously. If I ever make the mistake of asking what they want to eat, the unanimous enthusiastic response is CORNDOGS!! Here's the problem-o though. My kids are still young enough that I'm paranoid about them choking on a hot… Continue reading Homemade Mini-Corndogs
Chinese Chicken Salad
One of my all time favorite light meals is Chinese Chicken Salad. I always thought it was hard to make, until my friend Emily shared her recipe with me. Wow. So easy and scrumptious. I love it! Crunchy almonds mixed with a slightly sweet, slightly tangy sauce take a plain old bag of coleslaw mix… Continue reading Chinese Chicken Salad
Crack Bread
I've seen this "recipe" so many times on Pinterest, I just had to give it a try. It is not elegant. It is not classy. You should not serve this to impress your husband's boss. This is as far from diet food as you can possibly get. Not good for you at all. I could… Continue reading Crack Bread
Spanakopita (Spinach Triangles)
My husband says I move 20% faster than a normal person. He says it's how I get so much done every day. Also, why I trip over toys constantly and frequently stub my toes on corners, door jams, chair legs, table legs and other people's feet. Usually I consider my super speed a blessing. Not… Continue reading Spanakopita (Spinach Triangles)
Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Fries
In general, my kids are very good at eating their vegetables. But I'm always looking for ways to make them more appealing. Although they'll both eat asparagus with just a little olive oil, salt n' pepper - they certainly don't gobble it down like they did these crunchy flavorful asparagus fries. Yum yum! These would… Continue reading Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Fries
