I needed a great HOT Dip recipe.
So off to Pinterest Wonderland I went. Whoa. The choices are vast, diverse, and oh so cheesy. Hot Pizza Dip sounded too good to pass up.
There’s the seasoned cheese layer, your favorite marinara sauce, favorite toppings, then more cheese. Off to the oven we go. Ezzy-pizzy. Continue reading »

I found this yummy Sausage & Fennel Stuffed Pork Roast recipe in my December Food & Wine magazine. I’ve become a big fan of fennel, especially when combined with fresh herbs and savory aromatics.

For our Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday I served Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies. It was my secret weapon to help keep me on my Healthy Choices plan. I knew no matter what else tempted me I could find comfort in that dish. Today as a fridge full of leftovers called to me…the first thing I did was make this soup. Continue reading »

This month’s issue of Food Network Magazine is all about Quick Breads. Fifty to be exact. I had to throw my hat in the ring and have a go at it. So I made two of them. Two savory breads with fresh herbs and cheeses and aromatics. My kitchen was a swirling aroma happy place. Continue reading »

Herb Infused Polenta {with Poached Eggs}.
Not exactly what I had in mind as I entered the kitchen this morning. However sitting here just minutes after enjoying it for Sunday brunch I’m in love with the flavors lingering on my tongue.

We were snowed in again and completely made the best of it. Let me remind you we live in the sunny south, so snow days are few and far between. Stranded at home is my excuse to turn to my fridge/pantry for inspiration. Continue reading »

When you cook a whole chicken every week like we do, you are always searching for new recipe inspiration. We literally sit around talking about our favorite flavor pairings. “Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper” leaped out of my mouth with a level of certainty that was not to be questioned.
There are three primary reasons why we roast a chicken every week (there are so many more than three but we narrowed it down). Continue reading »
