Oh the month of traditional family recipes - I'm really loving this kind of cooking! It's been a great reminder that you can make delicious dishes with simple, fresh ingredients. I hope you'll enjoy this easy dinner of scallops in a lemon-caper sauce and roasted veggies. It's healthy, it's bursting...
This week, on my mission to honor Grilled Cheese Month appropriately, I took an idea from one of my favorite soups - broccoli beer cheese. This is a super-rich sandwich, and it takes a little bit longer to prepare than your typical grilled cheese, but every bite is so worth...
It's National Grilled Cheese Month, and I'm taking full advantage of the opportunity! This week, I tried my own spin on a recipe I'd seen on Pinterest a few times - a blueberry grilled cheese. The flavors in this thing really pop, and it's something that is a nice change...
Even though it doesn't feel like it, spring is coming, and there are some great ways to prepare seasonal veggies...

Tall Guy and I have been trying to eat healthier breakfasts. The problem we run into is that most healthy, tasty breakfast foods require preparation time-which we never have. And we're a little tired of cereal and waffles. So imagine my delight when I found Monica at The Yummy Life's recipes...
We made chili over the weekend and needed something to accompany it. We typically do cornbread, but just weren't in the mood for it. We found a couple sweet potato biscuit recipes and decided that would be a good option. Below is what we pulled together. Something to mention-make sure...
Prior to this recipe, we have never cooked with butternut squash. We've seen lots of recipes in magazines and online using it in various capacities-risotto, soup, lasagna, souffles. When we saw a pizza recipe, we thought this is something we could sign up for. We took some basic tips from...
