Last Saturday I hosted an afternoon tea for a friend at church who is moving away. It was such fun to pull out all the linens, china and some random accents that I had packed away in boxes in the basement that I have no room for in my kitchen. The girls came over around…

Individual Meat Loaves
You can easily make this into a large loaf but I think it’s a little more special to serve them up individually. The cooked onions really add moisture to the loaf and I love that you have most of these ingredients in your pantry and freezer at all times. It makes for an easy weeknight…
Vegetable Soup
I’ve been on a mission to include one vegetarian meal into our weekly menu. I’ve got black beans in the crock pot simmering away currently as I blog. If I were a little more punctual, this recipe would have been a great Meatless Monday post but I can’t seem to get it all done in…
Broadmoor Banana Bread
The Broadmoor Hotel is a five star hotel in Colorado Springs. It oozes luxury and elegance and the minute I saw it, I was enchanted. I’ve only stayed there once and it lived up to all of my expectations. I told my hubby that I would gladly work there (They have a culinary apprenticeship program). …
Parmesan Chicken
Chicken has a tendency to be very flavorless, especially chicken breast. This recipe is reminiscent of the pork chop recipe I’ve shared before. Pounding the chicken breast with a mallet or rolling pin really tenderizes it. (I have made this before without pounding the chicken and it was simply awful. And the only reason I…
Lentil Soup
I got the urge to make lentil soup when I was freezing meals for my then 8 month old daughter. She loves the lentil soup that I had made her and I really wanted to make something that all of us could enjoy. This is more like an Italian minestrone soup with lentils. Truth be…
Guest Post: Spinach Lasagna
Had I posted this a day earlier, it would have made for a great Meatless Monday post! Oh well. So for all you veg heads out there, here you go! I can’t take credit for this recipe. My sweet friend (and neighbor!) brought this scrumptious lasagna over last week. I love how light it is;…
Another Roast Chicken Recipe
Whole Foods had a huge sale on organic whole chickens last week and so I gathered the littles and off we went in search of chickens for $1.69/lb. Unbelievable price, right? I was hesitant to buy the ten bird limit (who has that kind of space in their freezer?) so I settled for four birds….
Game Day Grub
It’s been a long hiatus from blogging. It doesn’t mean I haven’t fed my family or cooked since Thanksgiving. The site has a new look (thanks to my sweet hubby!) and I hope to share some new recipes on a more frequent basis. Now, onto the food! I was very excited about the Super Bowl…
Thanksgiving 2010
Thanksgiving dinner this year was oh so time consuming but the end result was superb. We tried a new recipe for the bird this year. The turkey was brined and then roasted. Check out the recipe and video here. The brine really bumped up the moisture level for the turkey and it was very moist…
