I'm on a mission to stop using canned beans. Most canned beans contain BPA, and I'm not too sure about that. While I'm not a scientist, I figure it's better to avoid it as much as possible instead of taking any chances. Cooking dry beans really isn't very difficult. Plus, ...

Friday Favorites – Episode 43
I have to admit that I've been feeling like I'm in a bit of a blogging slump again lately. I seem to have lost some steam since my trip to NYC. As a result, I'm not feeling especially "wordy" as I write this week's Friday Favorites. So, let's get right down to business... The first order of ...
Penne with Rapini and Sausage
I'm always anxious to get back in my kitchen after traveling. I enjoy being in new places and trying new food, but after a while, I get sick of eating out and just want to make something for myself. That's how I started to feel this weekend. Not only did ...
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, ...
Corn Bread Stuffing
I have this weird thing about cold food. I don't really like it all that much. Especially when it is cold leftovers! There is something about the smell that just turns my stomach. Something that smells absolutely delicious when hot (pizza, pasta, soup, the list goes on...) will be ...

Farfalle with Sausage and Pumpkin
I wait all year for the fall. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it's my favorite time of the year. I love the flavors, the weather, and the fact that the holidays are right around the corner! Of all of the fall foods, I think pumpkin is ...
Friday Favorites – Episode 26
I'm getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week! Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening. I'm not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned ...
Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
My yellow lab loves to help in the garden. She chews on the weeds and helps me dig holes. She also loves to help pick vegetables. Yes, you heard me correctly... My dog loves her veggies! Last summer, it was my cucumber plant that she ambushed. This summer, she discovered squash... Yellow ...
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 ...
