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 »
So, maybe I’m jumping the gun a little on tomatoes this year, but I couldn’t help myself! This was a really good tomato salad – I’ll definitely be making it again with proper summer tomatoes. The inspiration for this came from a Cooking Light recipe (here’s the original), but I deviated quite a bit to … Continue reading »
I have a feeling my blogger buddy Conor Bofin is going to be appalled by my very Americanized version of Irish food – sorry in advance Conor. Let’s be honest, I doubt there’s anything really Irish about what I’m about to post. In the U.S., we like to think of Irish food as consisting solely … Continue reading »
Aaaand another entree salad. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a pile of meat & fresh veggies with a tasty sauce. It’s also nice when I can get away with only dirtying 1 pan. This is a nice winter salad with hearty steak and tangy citrus. It’s also nice and peppery with the … Continue reading »
Let the post-finals travelling-surgery-Christmas catch-up begin! I wrote most of this and the next one a while ago, just haven’t gotten around to finishing and posting… until now. Here we go! *** I think the only thing I bought for this dinner was a mushroom for the lentils, which is awesome, considering I’m trying really … Continue reading »
Wow. Say that five times fast. This stir fry is much simpler than the last, very different, and just as tasty. Give it a whirl. It’s super versatile, you could sub the veggies for whatever you have in the fridge, you could even change up the sauce if you happen to have something else sitting … Continue reading »
So when I first planned this dinner, I was going to make baked sweet potato fries as a side, but 1/2 my potato went bad (both gross and surprising, I feel like potatoes are one of those things that are sort of supposed to last forever, or definitely more than a week). Then, I tried … Continue reading »
This pot roast has gone a LONG way! Yesterday, I put the leftover vegetables to use in a simple breakfast hash. Start-to-finish, this took me about 20 minutes. Perfect for a weekend morning. Ingredients: leftover pot roast veggies (I used 3 potatoes, 3 big carrot chunks, and a few onions) about a tablespoon of butter … Continue reading »
Man, this was delicious. In a search for recipes to re-purpose my leftover pot roast, I came across this gem. And (can you guess what’s coming…?) I tweaked it. Yes, I do pretty much always change recipes. It’s an illness. Here’s my version. Ingredients: (I didn’t include amounts on purpose. Use whatever proportions make you … Continue reading »
