Springtime Stew

What a tricky time of year for cooking it is right now. My brain wants salads, tacos and anything grilled, but my weatherman is telling me it’s still soup and casserole weather. Until Larry Sprinkle (yes, it is the best name for a weatherman ever) […]

Pink Pineapple Fluff

Growing up as a tomboy, I always felt personally offended by the color pink. Anything princess was so uninteresting to me, and don’t even get me started on Barbie. For birthdays I wanted Ninja Turtle action figures and baseball gear. To my parents’ credit, they […]

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Golabki)

Polish myth holds that the king of Poland served Golabki to his army before an important battle of the Thirteen Years War. Apparently the hearty meal gave them the strength they needed for victory. Obviously we are not feeding an army, but preparing this recipe […]

Cilantro Lime Shrimp Bowls

Any guesses for how long it took to prepare this meal? If you guessed more than 15 minutes, you couldn’t be more wrong. For this, among many other reasons, I absolutely love rice bowls. They can be a great way to use leftovers or some […]

Last Minute Supermarket Tablescape

You know those meals that are described as “thirty minutes or less!” or “you won’t believe how easy it is!”? But when you fall for it you realize that those easy thirty minutes do not include all of the time to chop veggies or peel […]

Asparagus with Lemon and Dill Sauce

Asparagus, while delicious, isn’t the most exciting side dish out there. However there are so many ways to spice it up. Wrap it in bacon, grill it, marinate it, roast it…I pretty much will eat this veggie in any form. But I have to say, […]
