Iced Coffee

Do you know the Pioneer Woman?   I am admittedly,  a big fan.  She shared an Iced Coffee recipe recently, and like thousands of other, I was hooked.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the space she has to make everything in gigantic quantities, so I’ve taken her recipe and halved it to make it more manageable...

Quinoa-Avocado Salad

Ever since I saw this recipe in the Wegmans magazine, I’ve been hankering to make it.  I didn’t think it would be a big hit in my house, so I waited until I had a chance to bring it to a dinner with friends.   It was well received by most of the adults and...

Perfectly Cooked Broccoli

This post feels a little bit like explaining how to boil water (cuz honestly there’s not much more too it), but as someone who, for years had no idea how to achieve broccoli perfection, I could have used a post like this a long time ago. Broccoli is one of the few super foods...

Broccoli Salad

If I were to name one food that makes me think of my mom, it would be broccoli salad. You could always find it on the table at special holiday gatherings such as Christmas or Easter.   Although I was never a fan of cooked broccoli (I’ve gotten better), I loved broccoli salad. This is...

Old Fashioned Deviled Eggs

I think of deviled eggs as an old fashioned picnic food.  The kind of food I’d expect to find at my grandma’s family reunion, where the median age ran  north of 60.   Despite it’s fuddy duddy status, it’s a perennial favorite. Whenever I set out to make deviled eggs, I pull out the trusty...

Spinach Ham & Cheese Quiche

A friend would bring this to a morning brunch meeting I used to attend and it was always so good I finally asked for her recipe.   I had never made quiche before and was pleased to add this dish to my repertoire.  I have since tweaked it a bit to suit my preferences and...

Black Bean Falafel

This is a recipe I’ve been making for several years and could have sworn already had it up on my blog, but alas, I guess I never got around to it. I got it from a friend, who I think said she got it from Cooking Light, but I haven’t found it online anywhere,...

Summer Squash Tomato Bake

This is a recipe I got from my mom — I’m sure there are lots of versions out there, but I didn’t see any exactly like she made it, so I’m sharing this version.   It’s not a fussy recipe, feel free to play with the proportions, substitute with what you have on hand, etc....

Taco Tuesday, Trader Joe style

Tacos seem to be in high rotation in our family meal plan, so I thought I’d document what our “official” taco recipe is.    I’m sure many people have similar variations, but this is what we’ve come to love, so this is how we do it. The secret to our taco recipe starts with Trader...
