This quick and easy green bean recipe makes a bright side dish for any meal (& probably perfect with meatloaf, just sayin). Welp, there’s several inches of snow outside right now, with more on the way here in Chicago. While usually I lean into winter weather and cooking […]
A hearty and earthy vegetarian recipe that is perfection for a filling + easy dinner, or a lovely side-dish that will make ’em ooh and aah! I know what you guys are thinking – another vegetarian recipe from the Meatloaf lady? Well, yes. A cauliflower steak recipe, no […]
A bright and hearty salad with a hint of heat that makes a great side dish to dinner, or a perfect, filling meal all on its own! You guys know how I feel about Rancho Gordo beans as I included them in last year’s Gift Guide and made […]
I am on such a pickle kick. Mostly due to our friends being WAY into pickling, which we get to reap the benefits from. Yay, us! I am also on a cookbook kick. This is because I bought a new hutch to house my cookbooks, and wouldn’t you […]
I rarely post side dishes because I’m usually bee-lining it to the big TA-DA of the meal (i.e. the meatloaf, the steak, the taco, etc). But when I made this zippy carrot salad to accompany the chicken shawarma pitas we grilled up recently – I was INTO IT. […]

Oooooooh BABY this is one dang good pasta salad if I do say so myself. 😀 This recipe was really born from my herb garden sort of exploding – especially the mint. And while I enjoy a good mojito every now and again, there was no way I […]
Happy stuffing season everyone! I luuurrrrrveeee stuffing and make it all year. Summer stuffing? Hell yes. Stuffing for breakfast, why not? So I’m obviously in my natural element for the month of November. Since I’m on a mission to try to love mushrooms, I thought I’d whip up […]
Well it’s a gorgeous day out in Chicago today, but I’m laid up on the couch as I tried to lift a bunch of dirt (don’t ask) and pulled out my darn back…again. UGH! I hobbled on in back to the house hanging on Dave’s arm and after […]
