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 [...]

Friday Favorites – Episode 43
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 I have the urge to cook, [...]
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, I will layer ham, pepperoni, and [...]
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 absolutely repulsing to me after it [...]
Cheesy Baked Penne
While everyone is concerned about swine flu H1N1, it seems another disease is spreading rapidly this fall. It’s spreading like wildfire from blog to blog. That’s right, I’m talking about cook’s block or food blogger’s block.
Just yesterday, I was discussing this very issue on Twitter with Lucy and Kamran after reading their recent blog posts on [...]
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 my favorite. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t [...]
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 and had it written with a [...]
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 squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkins… She picks [...]
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 [...]
