Lasagna has always been one of my favorites, but I really can’t stand when it’s just covered in cheese. I like to be able to taste each layer. The meat, the noodles, the sauce, and then yes, the cheese. I’d recently seen a few versions of kale lasagna and thought I’d give it a whirl. …
I got a big shipment of Alaskan fish from Stormont Williams Fish Supply Co. just a few weeks ago and I’ve been testing out new fish recipes since then! I’ll be honest, cooking fish is a bit scary for me. We didn’t grow up eating it and for a long time I never knew what to put …
I’ll be honest, I’m really not much of a dessert person. Not that I don’t like them, I just don’t crave them like some people do.Occasionally I do get a hankering for something sweet and when I do, I crave a dessert with fruit in it. Apples and fall just go together and this rustic …
Besides cooking, collecting bright and fun kitchen gadgets is high on my list of hobbies. Anthropologie has some of the most unique pieces and I admit that I own probably too many. These are my favorite kitchen gadgets that I have in my own house (except for the mini fruit baskets, which I want!) and …
It’s finally fall! As much as I love fall, it seems that living in Texas for the majority of my life (up until last February) has deprived me of a true fall. This year has been different. The trees are already turning golden and orange, the temperature has dropped and I’ve been cooking hearty (& …
I’ve been adding Greek yogurt to my regular breakfast each morning and while I like yogurt on it’s own, it’s so much better with some crunchy granola on top! I’d been buying it for years, but could never eat it all before it went stale. After some research I realized how freaking easy it is …
I’ve been wanting to try out a skinny version of lasagna soup for quite sometime now, but summer didn’t really seem like the right time to make it. But lucky for me, we’ve had a few days of cooler temperatures here in Chicago. Nothing too wild, but it’ll get into the 60s at night and …
Ever since having tabbouleh at a Mediterranean restaurant a few years ago, I’m a little obsessed. The one I tried wasn’t the traditional style that’s packed with parsley and that’s okay by me. Nothing against parsley, but I don’t want to eat that much of it. I like adding quinoa to the mix to add …
We recently came across a really great Mexican restaurant in Chicago. One where the salsa is actually spicy and the dishes pack serious flavor. I was thrilled to have found this hidden gem since Chicago Mexican food has not proved to be all that great. Since eating there, I guess my taste for Mexican flavors …
I must be on a Greek kick this summer, I’ve made multiple dishes with Greek flavors. But I can’t help it. It’s simple, fresh and really really tasty. I actually cooked this dish earlier this summer when I was in Colorado with my family. We made several different batches. One for my mom and I …
