Hi there blog readers. I’ve been away from the blog for quite some time. Today when I started thinking about writing a blog entry, I had to stop and think about which which blog software to open and where to find it on my computer! I hated being away for so long. Tonight I came…… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
Sometimes all you need for a great dinner are a few simple things – and one of those things in my book, is a grill pan! I also had some great, fresh ingredients to work with – and that always helps. I had a chicken breast, a yellow pepper, a vidalia onion and fresh tomatoes.…… Continue reading Grill Pan
When I got home tonight I had no idea what I was going to do for dinner. Thankfully I came home to a salmon fillet, fresh tomatoes and I knew I had the makings for a great dinner! I got out my grill pan and started prepping. I sprayed my grill pan with coconut oil…… Continue reading Grilled Salmon Dinner

Sure I was running around the city like a crazy person trying to get so many things done before a late afternoon cookout. But…… Continue reading Blondies
The Cookbook Project officially began late on a Friday night. Normally I find it quite hard to come home on a Friday and cook dinner. So, when I stopped at Whole Foods I ordered a large iced coffee to ensure I would not fall asleep while cutting parsley. The iced coffee with 2% milk was…… Continue reading Cookbook Project – Shrimp & Grits
So often when people are going through things in life, I like to make a meal and bring it over to them. For me, cooking for someone is how I show that I care. Food is love. It is as simple as that sometimes. My grandmother has been in the hospital for a week now.…… Continue reading Dinner from a Friend
In the spring there is nothing I like to do more than pack up my car and head to Vermont for a few days. I am very lucky because I have been able to do that for the past four years. I love the trip, and we focus on wonderful, local food while we are…… Continue reading Soba Noodle Bowls
