After some lovely scores at the farmers market I was on the hunt for a quick and easy weeknight dinner – I found exactly what I was looking for from Real Simple. I must admit I was surprised a pasta dish not lathered in some sort of chunky […]
My friend Dana (who has her own fabulous blog: eat/see/write) and I were thrilled to throw our friend Adie a bridal shower which then morphed into a let’s invite the boys over and celebrate these two fabulous people getting hitched BBQ. We had a blast planning the menus […]
Ouch. After celebrating my husband’s birthday this weekend we were in rough shape (a switch flips when you hit 30, amiright?), so I wanted to make something for Sir Dave that would make him feel better. These pizzas were the ticket – easy to make and totally indulgent. […]
After hearing all of the praise and hullaballoo surrounding Girl and the Goat I just finally had to take the plunge and see what all the fuss was about. Holy pig face it was awesome (yes I ate that). Of course as with any good meal I had […]

Of course I decide to make this deliciousness for dinner when it’s 20 degrees outside and you’re supposed to do the whole thing on the grill – woopsie! I made everything inside on my cast iron grill pan which was sufficient, but I’m definitely going to make it […]
So typically I’m not in love with the combining of land and sea when it comes to dishes, but this recipe was certainly an exception (I’ll just pretend shrimp live on the farm next to the chickens). It’s one of Emeril’s – so it’s pretty labor intensive – […]
