One of my absolute favorite snacks is potato chips and dip – just basic Lays and french onion dip. I could eat an entire bowl if placed in the vicinity of where I am sitting. That said, there’s a little gathering we were attending last weekend where I was asked to bring chips so IContinue reading “Chips and Dip”

For those prepping for Superbowl weekend and looking for snacks to serve at your party, I thought I’d share our spinach & artichoke dip recipe – it’s the best! Most recipes call for a large amount of mayo (blech) so this one is a more homemade, less creamy version of the norm. Hot Spinach ArtichokeContinue reading “Spinach Artichoke Dip”

Sooooo, I’m not supposed to be eating dessert because I’m trying to lose my baby weight (I’m almost there!). However, on a snowy day as was this past Saturday, there is nothing better than baking, so, we made some cookies. I was flipping through my Feb issue of Martha Stewart Living and the photo ofContinue reading “Caramel Cookies”

My husband and I love to make omelets, but we are really bad at the flipping and the folding and making it look like an actual omelet. Our omelets in the past have always disappointingly turned into cheese and veggie scrambled eggs. So, for Christmas, I bought my husband this special omelet-making pan. It’s soContinue reading “Omelets for Dummies”

My husband and I frequently make a delicious and healthy chili with kidney and black beans and ground turkey – a traditional recipe with chili powder and cumen. But, every once in a while, he makes this Good Chili with beer, steak, and coffee…it’s phenomenal! In light of all of the football related weekends comingContinue reading “The Good Chili”

We found ourselves with an extra pint of blueberries after a “buy 1 get 1 free” sale at our grocery store last week so we decided to make blueberry muffins for breakfast. I used my new Gwyneth Paltrow cookbook (got it for Christmas!) for the recipe and between the 2 blueberry muffin recipes in theContinue reading “Blueberry Muffins”

The perfect way to start 2012 is with a dynamite brunch… A few weeks ago at our baby’s Christening Brunch, my husband ordered this amazing breakfast pizza with sausage, goat cheese, and a fried egg on top. It was so memorable and delicious (yes, I couldn’t resist trying a bite!) that we decided to re-makeContinue reading “Breakfast Pizza”

My husband and I were excited to host Christmas Eve Dinner this year; we had my parents over for a wonderful holiday dinner. We made a delicious meal of roasted pork, potatoes gratin, and roasted asparagus – everything came out fantastic I just had to share the recipes! This menu would be great for anyContinue reading “Christmas Eve Dinner”

My husband and I are constantly searching for new, delicious, and easy side dishes to eat for dinner. Well, we made these Zucchini Pancakes last night to eat with marinated steak tips and they were really tasty and surprisingly simple to make. We made a half batch of the recipe below and it made plentyContinue reading “Zucchini Pancakes”

Have you ever noticed the recipes in the Williams-Sonoma catalog? I always notice them while flipping through the pages but haven’t ever made one. Well, we got a new holiday catalog last week and when I saw this recipe, I knew we had to try it. It’s a great version of a butternut squash soupContinue reading “Butternut Squash-Carrot Soup with Pork “Croutons””
