I like to make a game out of leftover or partially used ingredients in my fridge and pantry. Like, how can half a lemon, six ounces of chicken stock, and sour cream be repurposed into some sort of delectable savory sauce to brush over a lightly salted grilled chicken breast? Hmmm… Or, maybe a handful of berries, […]
Italian Caprese Pasta Salad

All opinions are mine alone. #SimpleSatisfyingSalads #EverydayEffortless #CollectiveBias Even though I love eating out, taking lunch to work (or making lunch at home when I’m telecommuting) has become a favorite.

A Trick To Easy Weeknight Dinners
I come from a family with a number of working mothers. More who worked while raising kids than not, even when it wasn’t the norm. My own mom, my aunt, my grandmother, and a slew of other great aunts, cousins, and other female relatives mixed in between. It’s shaped who I am today, and the […]
Chicken Sausage and Apple Rigatoni
Chicken sausage and apple rigatoni takes about thirty minutes from start to finish, which means it’s a snap to pull together on a busy weeknight! Fall is right around the corner, and apple everything is going to be in the air—apple scented candles, apple cider, homemade slow cooker applesauce, apple pie. Evenings are crisp and cool, […]
Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake
You’ll love this creamy chicken pasta bake—the seared chicken thighs are what makes it! When I was at ALDI last week doing my grocery shopping, I picked up a package of fettuccine nests in the pasta section. They were perfect for shrimp pasta the kids and I had the other evening! Then, last night I decided to use […]
Rustic Penne With Chicken Sausage
Rustic penne with chicken sausage is an easy dinner you can pull together any night of the week! This past Sunday was one of those days that begged for a quick, hearty dinner. The air had a chill to it, football was on in the family room and we’d just returned from a weekend in Philadelphia. […]
Homemade Chicken Tetrazzini
This homemade chicken tetrazzini recipe will satisfy a hungry crowd! Normally I wouldn’t be crazy-excited for a homemade chicken tetrazzini casserole recipe at the end of August. To me, most casseroles are the perfect comfort food for crisp fall evenings—not the dog days of summer. Although I’d make an exception for things like baked ziti, which […]
Seared Shrimp with Whole Wheat Pasta
I’m a big fan of pasta. Like, I could eat it just about every night if given the chance. The other evening we needed a quick dinner thrown together after a busy afternoon of dance practice, a lacrosse game, errands and work. Pasta’s great because most of the time the entire meal can be cooked in 20 minutes […]
