Every time I make the drive between Virginia and Michigan, I like to pack some wraps and snacks in a little cooler. That way, I only have to stop for gas and I eat well so I don’t feel cruddy from fast food when I get to where I’m going. I try to do something … Continue reading »
Dawww aren’t they cute? As cute as something inherently un-cute like meatloaf can be, I suppose. These went along with the potato salad on a picnic with my “little.” Meatloaf is her favorite food (not pizza or ice cream like every other 8-year-old… meatloaf. But I’m not complaining, I love the stuff) so I decided … Continue reading »
Hooray for summer! It’s grilling, potluck-ing, picnic-ing season! The time for cold, creamy “salads” and barbeque. Mmmmm. I stumbled on this potato salad recipe with pickles & fresh dill a while back and decided to give it a go with some nonfat, thick Greek yogurt (my go-to for anything that requires mayo, sour cream, or … Continue reading »
Since it’s the end of the school year and I’ll be bidding Richmond adieu for a while, I have a good many dinner obligations with friends and classmates before I skip town.

Here it is – the ultimate quick, easy, lazy meal. One pan, minimal ingredients, and 10-15 minutes and you’ve got dinner. Or lunch. Or even breakfast. Just tear off a piece of crusty bread and you’ve got an awesome, simple meal. This guy popped up when I was looking for something to do with chard … Continue reading »
So after I picked out this recipe to use up the apples in my produce box, I recognized a pattern: Ham, Fried Apples & Steamed Peas – 3/30/12 Honey Mustard Oven-Fried Chicken – 1/26/12 Pork Chops with Apples & Spinach (with honey & mustard) – 10/21/11 I like cooked apples + meat + honey mustard. … Continue reading »
This quiche was totally cobbled together out of things I had sitting around. I was a little nervous – rather than the typical half & half, I used Greek yogurt, and rather than your typical pie crust, I used up the lonely puff pastry in my freezer. I wasn’t sure if it was going to … Continue reading »
