Pappa al Pomodoro (Tuscan Tomato Bread Soup)
Ahh, Tuscany.. don’t you wish you were Italian? Pappa al Pomodoro is a traditional Tuscan tomato and bread-based soup. This dish makes me nostalgic for Italy, especially since this time last year, the hubs and I were galavanting all over that magical place. We had the most delicious pappa al pomodoro at a place called […]
Classic Kung Pao Chicken [PFB Challenge #2]
Thanks to all of you hardworking voters (I’ll assume you’ve done your homework!), I’ve made it to the next challenge in Project Food Blog! Challenge #2 is up next, and it’s all about the classics. You already know I love taking classics and reinventing them, but the challenge this time was to refrain from reinvention […]
Grilled Ginger Cumin Carrots and Coconut Rice
This post has two recipes. Aren’t you a lucky duck? These two side dishes went with the flank steak recipe from yesterday. I was trying to cook down my fridge (we are on a little trip right now to meet our new nephew!), which is always an adventure. I couldn’t believe I came up with […]
Tequila Lime Flank Steak with Garlic and Cilantro
So it seems I can’t commit fully to fall dishes yet. I thought the butternut squash lasagna would be my fall kick-off, but today, we’re back to grilling. I think that’s one of my favorite things about GA so far- grilling in September (and October, too, I’m sure.. maybe November as well?). This dish was […]

Whole Wheat Sesame Oat Bread
Dang.. I haven’t pulled out the ol’ Great Bread button in way too long! I enjoy making bread, and it doesn’t even bother me when it takes a long time or lots of kneading. That being said, it’s always nice to find a recipe with little effort involved, too. Most everyone has heard of the […]
Kale Chips
I know, you’ve heard of kale chips. They were all the rage back at the beginning of 2010. Everyone and their Great Aunt Mildred blogged about them. I can’t believe it took me until September to get around to baking them. Talk about procrastination! For shame. But three cheers for another healthy recipe, right? I […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Lasagna
Just that title makes me hungry for another helping! In case you missed it in the last post, I’ve been chosen by the good folks at Foodbuzz to feature a month’s worth of Food&Wine recipes on Oven Love. Cool, right? They’re also sending me a year’s subscription to Food&Wine- amazing! What’s more amazing is that […]
Homemade Hostess Cupcakes and Bake-N-Blog (Again?)
Remember my epic Bake-N-Blog fail with those fig cupcakes? Well, today I get to redeem myself with another Bake-N-Blog event. My sweet (real-life!) friend Jess at jesstagirl and her officer decided to host a Bake-N-Blog today. To tell you the truth, I was dragging my feet about joining in at first. The fig cupcakes really […]
Red Bean Chili and Cheddar Cornmeal Waffles
It’s not quite fall here in GA, but the hubs requested chili recently and I had to oblige. The Steelers’ first big game was on Sunday, and that was the perfect occasion for chili and cornbread-related items. I think they won because they knew I had already made a delicious meal and didn’t want to […]
