The last few days have been a mix and match of lovely dinners, make shift lunches and one of my favorite things during the work week – tasty leftovers!! On Sunday I made a go to lunch – an egg, tomatoes and cheese wrap! This lunch is so simple, tasty and satisfying. Even better for…… Continue reading Mix and Match
This week started out with a great Italian ragu – but quickly turned back to some good old fashioned French Cooking!! (My favorite!) The other day I discovered an old favorite from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume II thanks to Food 52. I love Food 52 especially for their timely…… Continue reading Julia’s Zucchini Gratin
As I was driving to work today, I was so excited about receiving my second shipment from Plated this afternoon. I planned my evening in my head. Because I would not have to go to the grocery store or think much about dinner, I could go for a run after work and throw in a…… Continue reading A Change of Dinner Plans
I must say, cooking a couple of nights with my Plated box really got me back in the mood to cook and be creative at dinner time. On Thursday, I decided to cook halibut. I found a simple but wonderful recipe on Epicurious and I had almost all of the ingredients at home already -…… Continue reading Grilled Halibut with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette

I am so thankful that it is a Saturday morning and not a Friday morning. When I woke up this morning, I almost started getting ready for work because my brain was positive it was a work day and not a weekend. Thankfully it only took me a moment to remember it was Saturday. I…… Continue reading Saturday Morning
Over the weekend, the sous chef and I ran into a serious culinary crisis. We both decided that we could not stand the thought of eating chicken. The idea made him sick, and I wasn’t much better. The idea of eating cereal for dinner was much more appetizing than grilling the organic chicken breast we…… Continue reading Culinary Crisis and a Turkey Chili Recipe!

During our dinner experience, the hardest part for me was figuring out what to order – all of the savory…… Continue reading Crepes!
