This was sooooooo good. I took a classic chicken and wild rice casserole recipe of my grandmother’s and tweaked it just a tad to get this new winter classic. Best part? It is gluten-free, vegetarian, and dairy-free. This is what I needed this week – I have the annual crud. Moving to a new school,Continue reading “Amaranth & Squash Casserole”

Minneapolis Weekend + Walking Dead Food
This is yet another one of those cell phone camera only posts. I have been dropping the ball on my photography skills here lately. However, it was our anniversary this past weekend and so we took off for Minneapolis for the weekend for a much needed relaxation time with my sister and her husband andContinue reading “Minneapolis Weekend + Walking Dead Food”
Sweet Potato Corn Chowder
This soup is the perfect cure for the end of summer to beginning of fall blues. Kind of miss the pool with the lingering hot days, but loving the cool sweatshirt nights? Yeah, me too! I used some leftover corn on the cob to make this corn and sweet potato chowder – it’s something IContinue reading “Sweet Potato Corn Chowder”
Salmon Cakes w/ Lemon Yogurt Sauce
This right here is one of my favorite types of meals – roasted vegetables and fish, specifically salmon. I always start to crave this kind of meal when things start to turn towards autumn – even when I just think it is starting to turn. However, it’s still hovering in the 90s around here thisContinue reading “Salmon Cakes w/ Lemon Yogurt Sauce”
{Better Than} Best Pizza Crust Ever + Drawing App
Sometimes accidents are happy ones in the kitchen. I was trying to make dinner the other night and Greta was in the process of melting down – I simply waited too long to start dinner for her sake.

Mole Beans and Rice + Veggie Burritos
This recipe comes from our spring break trip to Corolla, NC and the wonderful restaurant – Agave Roja. Their re-fried black beans and rice side dishes were so tasty I just has to remake them at home. I was having a hard time to putting my finger on the flavor of the re-fried black beansContinue reading “Mole Beans and Rice + Veggie Burritos”
Fried Egg Sandwich 101
This is one of my all-time favorite meals – the egg sandwich. I will eat it any time of day and any day of the week and the best part is dressing this simple food up with a variety of condiments, fruits, spreads, and vegetables. The most common way that I make a fried eggContinue reading “Fried Egg Sandwich 101”
