I love stromboli… Especially in cold weather! I’m not sure what it is about cold weather that makes me hungry for stromboli, but ever since we had a taste of snow over the weekend, I have been wanting to make stromboli.
A lot of the time when I make stromboli, I will layer ham, pepperoni, and [...]

Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Stromboli
Tomato, Pepper, and Jack Soup
In the past week or two, it seems that both our garden and our CSA have started booming with tomatoes. I have already frozen as much tomato sauce as I can possibly pack into my freezer. So, I decided to tackle some tomato soup. It might not sound like a big deal, but the bar was [...]
Apple Maple Chicken Sausage Frittata
Earlier in the week, my husband went out of town for a few days. I had to drop him off at the airport in the afternoon, so I decided to make a good hearty lunch for him so that he would have at least one good meal before the trip. I guess that’s my mother [...]
Cajun Bean Soup and Lessons Never Learned
I remember it like it was yesterday… Mrs. Weist, my first grade teacher, handed out a coloring assignment with a long list of directions at the top. I immediately got to work, coloring furiously as I worked my way down the list of directions. About halfway down the list, though, I ran into [...]
Vegetable Frittata
Each week, I try to make a few vegetarian meals – it’s both eco-friendly and waistline-friendly. In the past, I have made frittatas with ham, but this week I had a nice selection of my favorite veggies on hand, so I decided to make a meat-free frittata for dinner. I enjoy eggs for dinner once [...]
Chicken Fajita Nachos
This past week, I felt like I was participating in some sort of Food Network Challenge where I was given a few random ingredients and I had 30 minutes or less to prepare a dish that even my husband would be willing to eat. Easier said than done! I was making a conscious effort to use [...]
Tex Mex Lettuce Wraps
I would love to say that I had some great inspiration to make this dinner. On the contrary, I decided to make this for dinner tonight because flank steak was on sale (buy one get one free!) at the store today. My first instinct with flank steak was to make fajitas, but I wanted something [...]
Breakfast for Dinner – Part 1
This evening I decided to make breakfast for dinner. Earlier in the week, I was paging through my Cooking Light cookbook, and I came across a recipe for a Ham and Asparagus Frittata. I already had both ham and asparagus in the refrigerator, so I decided to give it a try.
Originally, I didn’t really think [...]
Penne with Sausage and Peppers
When I was at the grocery store last week, they were giving out samples (and coupons) of Aidells sausage. I wouldn’t dream of turning down a free sample. After sampling 4 or 5 different kinds of sausage, I decided to purchase a package of the Sundried Tomato and Mozzarella sausages. I wasn’t entirely sure what I [...]
Leftover Fajita Quesadillas
Typically, when I make fajitas, we end up with a lot of leftovers. I usually have to buy about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of flank steak, which is more than my husband and I will eat! We usually have fajitas again for lunch, but after one round of leftovers, it’s nice to have something [...]
