I first started cooking for myself when I was in college and lived in an on-campus townhouse with 3 other roommates. Taco night was always a big hit. We would pick up one of those taco kits - you know the ones, with taco shells, salsa, and a taco ...

Pesto Pasta Primavera
I almost called this recipe "Presto Pesto Pasta Primavera," but I thought that might be a bit much. The thing is, it's really quick and easy... Especially if you already have some homemade garlic scape pesto on hand! Even if you don't have the pesto, that can be ...
Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Stromboli
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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
