I can’t be the only one that has a “thing” for good pasta sauce. I’m not talking about a “oh, yeah, I like pasta sauce”, but more of a “I can eat bowls of pasta sauce like soup and just forget the pasta” kind of “thing.” Oh, I’m alone there? Well, it started innocently. I [...]

I’m a huge fan of the casserole. In general, I love the process of putting a few key ingredients together in a pan, baking said pan, and coming out with a pan of perfectly melded flavors. We weren’t a big casserole family when I was younger, but there was one specific casserole that my mom [...]

When it’s freezing outside, there’s only one thing on my mind: getting and staying warm. I have this issue with cold toes. When my toes are cold, it doesn’t matter how warm the rest of me is, I feel cold. During the week, this is a rare occurrence because my school building is quite warm. [...]

I’m not calling you a dummy, I swear! Over the last few months, Adam and I have thoroughly embraced the delicious South Beach Diet side dish that is mashed cauliflower. One of the things that I’ve really missed in these months (with a couple of gaps for the holidays) following South Beach have been potato-based [...]

Then, white chicken chili which, with its plethora of beans made for an extremely satisfying lunch today. And tonight? Tonight brought something back from a dear friend, who I [...]

I used to make white chicken chili all the freaking time. It got to the point where I could make it without checking the recipe, it came out the same every single time, and thanks to that, I got really sick of it. Adam got sick of it. Heck, I think our fridge got sick [...]

It finally decided to get cold here last night. Granted, according to the weather people and the app on my iPhone, it’s only going to be cold for a little while, and then its back to the mid-40s. I’m really particular when it comes to cooking wintery foods. It has to be below 50° outside [...]

I can’t be the only one that thinks of the classic Friend’s episode when, thinking she was making a trifle, Rachel inadvertently made a trifle topped with a shepherds pie. “It’s a trifle. It’s got all of these layers. First there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made [...]

I distinctly remember the first time I had a broccoli-cheese casserole. I don’t know that when I was little, we ever mucked up vegetables with things like cheese… butter, sure, definitely salt and pepper, but no cheese. We enjoyed vegetables on their own too much. But anyway, back to that casserole. I was about 21, [...]
