Welll, it’s not exactly low-fat but it is less calories than the regular Chicken Marsala. Perhaps we should call it “lighter” Chicken Marsala…This is one of my go-to favorite recipes. Year round it’s always good, the sage is earthy while the wine sauce is light & sweet. Just the perfect balance & it’s not too […]

Lettuce Wraps of Love
(heart bowl from Valentine’s collection at Target) P loves lettuce wraps. The other night he had a really rough day & had to work late, I was stuck with reconfiguring leftovers anyway so I found a way to make lettuce wraps & texted him a pic showing him what was waiting for him. I’m ultra […]
Beer & a juice box porkchops
Deglazing is probably my favorite cooking technique. All those yummy brown bits are transformed into a delicious gravy or sauce with just a bit of liquid, heat & scraping. I was just kind of screwing around with this recipe and used the dark beer I was drinking & an apple juice box I had leftover […]
Stuffed Biscuits
Mmmm, I gorged myself on these during dinner tonight but I’m hungry all over again just looking at the pictures. This entire week I’ve been cooking our dinners out of a muffin tin. Yep, you heard me, a muffin tin. A few weeks ago I was sent a cookbook to review that has nothing but […]
Orange Chicken in a bag…seriously.
Can you believe this… Is from this? Yep. I always wonder about those meal in a bag gimmicks, I mean how good could they actually be? Well this was actually pretty darn good. Now don’t go setting your expectations too high. It’s still basically a frozen dinner but I’d totally recommend keeping a few of […]
Comfort Food: Sausage & Pea Risotto
Today was rough. Comfort food was in order. Sausage & Pea Risotto: 1 package of pre-cooked sweet italian sausage, sliced crosswise into 1/4″ thick pieces 3/4 cu frozen peas 1 cu risotto rice (arborio) 2 cu chicken broth 1 cu dry white wine (nothing too terribly sweet, I used a chardonnay) 1/2 lg onion, chopped […]
Cheater’s Broccoli Cheese Soup
Here’s another sneaky semi-homemade meal for you to keep in your arsenal…I love broccoli cheese soup when it has two things, fresh big pieces of broccoli & lots of gooey cheese. This version is so good in my opinion that I never bother to make it from scratch. Perfect for a last minute lunch on […]
Warm your heart creamy chicken broccoli bake
Do you ever just try and throw ingredients together & “make up” dinner? It’s one of my favorite things to do but I find the results are either ‘rock n roll’ or major ‘crash n burn’. My family is a trooper though & they eat it regardless. Although this could be because I give them […]
Sweet Potato & Sausage Soup
Weird name, I know. Trust me when I tell you though, IT’S SO GOOD. If sweet & savory describes your taste, & not just your personality (teehee), then add this to your ‘must try’ list. P, Sophie, my girlfriend Megan who just happened to be stopping by during dinnertime & myself finished all of ours […]
Recipe Review: Deceptively Delicious
Remember when Jessica Seinfeld went on Oprah with her super cute cookbook about how to sneak vegetables into your kid’s diet by using purees? For some reason I actually bought it even though I didn’t have kids yet. The artwork was super cute & the food sounded really good I guess. Well, in my laundry […]
