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 ...

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers
As promised, here is my recipe for teriyaki turkey burgers! Once you have made my homemade chunky teriyaki sauce, they are really quite simple... But, they don't taste simple, at all. Don't you love dishes like that? I know I do! I made these burgers the first time we ...
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 ...
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 ...
Friday Favorites – Episode 2
It's hard to believe it's Friday already! I haven't had a lot of time this week to post to my blog. I've been in Boston and haven't really had time to write or to cook. I'll be posting more about my trip next week. In the meantime, here are a few ...

Spicy Turkey Bean Burgers
One of the reasons that I love to cook is that it allows me to control what I'm eating. When eating at a restaurant, it is difficult to be sure of the ingredients used when preparing dishes. By cooking at home, I can control the quality of ...
Parmesan Penne with Sausage and Asparagus
Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. Unfortunately, my husband is not nearly as fond of it as I am. So, I am always trying to come up with creative new ways to trick him into eating asparagus. This week, I decided to make penne pasta with asparagus and italian ...
Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf is another one of my favorite foods. This meatloaf recipe is a bit lighter than most because it is made with ground turkey instead of beef, pork, or veal. If you are short on time, you can mix up the meatloaf the night before and store the mixture in ...
Quick Turkey Avocado Paninis
It is a stretch to call this post a recipe... sandwich assembly directions would be more appropriate. Either way, it's a quick idea for lunch or dinner when you don't have a lot of time! I love the buttery flavor of the avocado in this sandwich, so I didn't feel ...
