Around the time I discovered the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans group, I was just beginning to branch out with my culinary desires. I hated learning to cook growing up and I had 3 male roommates for several years during the “college” age. Once I started to realize how much I enjoyed my time in…
Chicken Italiano
Living in an apartment tends to limit my methods of cooking. We’re not allowed to have any sort of gas or charcoal grill. Summer time with no grill is just not allowed! Trying to work around this annoying rule I have to live by, I put some serious miles on my George Foreman grill. It…

Menu Plan Your Butt Off {September 21, 2014}
School is in full swing. We’re finally getting into a routine and I’m all HALLELUJAH! Boring? Maybe for some. But I had a super exhausting, busy summer … it was so manic, I’m actually welcoming the monotonous, day to day craziness. Menu planning is also in full swing, because honestly, it’s the only way…
Loaded Burger Lettuce Wraps
Though I adore bread, I try to avoid it in general. The last few months, I’ve been almost exclusively gluten free – not for allergy reasons, but because I just tend to feel better overall. Usually, I don’t miss it too much, except when I smell fresh french loaves at the grocery store – or…
Three Bean Turkey Chili
It may seem strange to be sharing a wintery turkey chili recipe when it’s summer, but the last week around here was rainy and gray. And cold. Cold enough that I wanted something warming and soothing. So I made a big pot of turkey chili. I always make double and we eat it for…

Light & Creamy Dijon Chicken Penne
The other night was one of those nights where I was just standing in front of my fridge, begging the dinner gods for inspiration. I felt like pasta, but not the stand-by spaghetti. Then I remembered a dish I had years ago. Chicken, grainy mustard, heavy cream, a little rosemary. Served over rice. Really interesting,…
Artichoke Quinoa Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing
Good golly, I love this artichoke quinoa salad. It’s just a perfect meal in a bowl. Vegetables, healthy fat, protein and fiber, all mixed up together with a delicious lemon basil dressing. Hand to God, this is probably going to be my go-to summer lunch obsession. Now, about the lemon olive oil…if you can get…
