Apple Muffins
My Mama is a big reason I enjoy cooking – especially baking, so much. As early as I can remember, she had my sister and I in the kitchen with her as her little “helpers”. We loved it – even if “it” was just helping measure out the flour and…

Tostones and a Beach Bar in St. Maarten
There are a lot of pictures in this post and a background story, but there IS a recipe at the end – and it IS worth making it to the bottom.The Wife and I were in St. Maarten a couple of weeks ago. We’d read about this new “restaurant” that was really …

Spicy Sauteed Chickpeas with Beef & Cilantro
With all of this baking I’ve been doing (even though I’ve been sending everything in to The Husband’s office or off with friends), I wanted to make something very healthy for dinner and we didn’t feel like grilling. I had found this recipe a few w…

Upside Down Pear Gingerbread Cake
A friend/co-worker of the Husband brought us huge bags of apples and pears. Besides enjoying them as is, I wanted to make some things using apples and pears. So I combed food blogs and websites and now I have a large favorites folder of both…

Roy’s Hawaiian Martini
I don’t know about ya’ll but it’s beyond hard for me to believe that it is almost the end of August and summer is coming to an end. The summer for us has been jam packed, as evidenced by our spotty posting. We are finally back in town for awhile …

Gooey Jalapeno Poppers
Months ago, I pulled this “makeover” recipe out of my March edition of Shape Magazine. The recipe is from Rocco DiSpirito’s book Now Eat This! America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories. As I’ve said before, this tends to happen quit…

Paprika Chicken
Holy smokes! I sat down this morning to write this post and realized its been 20 days since we posted anything on here. In our defense, August has been crazy! We spent 3 days in San Diego for work and came home for about 6 hours and then have been in S…

Flounder with Cilantro Curry Topping & Toasted Coconut
I’m always looking for new fish recipes and this is yet another great one from Cooking Light. Sometimes as we all know though, recipes don’t always go quite as planned. I had prepped the topping, and everything was going smoothly until …

Butternut Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter
I know butternut squash isn’t exactly the kind of squash most people think about eating during the summer, but the Husband and I were looking through the Cook This, Not That: Kitchen Survival Guide that offers healthy alternative recipes to very f…

Shrimp & Orzo with Cherry Tomatoes & Romano Cheese
Well, hello strangers! We’ve been traveling most of this month and just got back early Monday morning from over two weeks in Chicago! What a great time we had and so many wonderful meals at fantastic restaurants. But, there is no substitute for a…

The Wife’s Shrimp & Grits
The Husband turned 30 this past weekend! Yes, he’s an old man now – or at least I like to tease him that he is. He also received a big promotion last Friday, so we had a lot to celebrate that weekend. Anyways, we had a bunch of people i…

Chipotle Corn Salad
With July 4th weekend quickly approaching many people are gearing up to host or attend a cookout. Hubby (Master of the grill & smoker) and I love cooking out. Summer staples for these events usually include squash, zucchini, beans and c…

Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Cobblers, trifles and pies tend to be my go-to summer fruit desserts. I usually find that cakes are too heavy for my taste in the summer heat (especially these 100 degree temperatures we’ve been having), but when I came cross this Ina Garten…

Kaiser Rolls
Aside from making pizza dough, I don’t really have any experience in bread making. The Husband was wanting to grill out – specifically burgers (which he ended up making sundried tomato & truffle cheese burgers that were out of this world!).&n…

Blueberry Balsamic Chicken Pizza
I love blueberries. Blueberries are one of those fruits that scream summertime. I had fresh blueberries that I had gotten for a dessert I made (recipe to come!) and I came across this gem on the blog The Noshery. The recipe for the sauce&nbs…

Chicken & Shiitake Marsala
This is a wonderful Cooking Light recipe. It’s a fresh, updated, not to mention healthy version of Chicken Marsala. There is no pan frying here, and no bread crumb coating. Also missing is the bacon. I loved the shiitakes in this dish, and …

Christmas Limas
Growing up, like most kids, I didn’t like beans. Especially lima beans. I remember I used to push them around my plate, try to hide them under the skin of baked potatoes, put them in my napkin – you get the picture. A lot has changed since then, a…

Moroccan Beef & Couscous
May kind of kicks off a crazy time for The Husband & I. From now until the end of August, there is not one weekend where we don’t have plans for the whole weekend. In the summer we also grill out a whole lot. So about this time I always try to clea…

South of the Border Fish Parcels
Hubby and I have seen Alton Brown’s fish pouch/parcel episode several times now. Throughout the show he demonstrates how to bake different types of fish (and shrimp) in parcels for a one dish/packet meal with super quick clean up. You can find a great …
