“Are you sure that’s not take out?”
Take out Chinese food is great, but I’m happy to report that it can be recreated at home. It’s much cheaper, healthier and takes about the same amount of time as calling the closest Chinese restaurant. This was my first attempt at recreating take out. The recipe comes from Martha’s Everyday Food Blog. I was […]
Extra-Moist Cornbread for ‘The Office’ Premiere!
Last night, Nick and I were invited to watch the premiere of ‘The Office’ with our friends, Julie and Russell. Russell was making his chili (which was amazing!), so I offered to bring along some cornbread. I have to say, I’m definitely a fan of moist cornbread. Cornbread has the tendency to get dry and […]
Rachael Ray’s "Leeky" Linguine with Shrimp
Who can argue with a bowl of pasta? It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, I can always eat pasta. Nick was in the mood for pasta tonight as well, so I pulled out this Rachael Ray recipe. I already had the leeks on hand, so it was perfect for this week. Don’t […]
Apricot-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Potatoes and Lemon Asparagus

Home Again
My apologies for the delay- I was home in Philadelphia this weekend. As soon as I get settled, I’ll be back to regular posts- hopefully after dinner tonight!
Chile Lime Flank Steak with Toasted Coconut Rice and Sauteed Red Cabbage with Mandarin Oranges
Another great weeknight meal- this time, we have Robin Miller to thank. I recently took her book, Robin to the Rescue, out from the library and have been copying her recipes furiously before the book is due back. Nick always enjoys a good steak, and I wanted to treat him to some before I leave […]
Rachael Ray’s Creamy Chicken Apple Chili
Nothing’s tastier on a fall day than soup or stew. During a lovely visit from my in-laws, I picked this recipe from the September issue of Rachael Ray’s magazine. It makes a pretty big batch, but it goes quickly! The guys both took plenty of seconds. The unique thing about this chili is the addition […]
The Perfect Pair
I couldn’t resist posting this: banana ice cream with a chocolate chunker! Perfect.
