Popcorn and M&Ms

Not so much a recipe as a truly amazing snack food. My Mom and I used to make this for our movie afternoons and it is supremely satisfying with the buttery, salty popcorn and sweet crisp of the M&M shell with molten chocolate inside. We used peanut M&Ms but feel free to experiment with ...

Broccolini with caramelized garlic chips

Last night was one of our favorite comfort meals, pan cooked broccolini with caramelized garlic chips and penne vodka. Add in a nice big red leaf salad and you've got a delicious, filling and soothing meal. It might even have a few pesky nutrition points too! We cheated and bought fresh direct ...

The Perfect Steak

When Mike and I first started dating, he was professing himself as a vegetarian with vegan leanings and as a good Texas girl with a love for cheese, I frequently wondered whether we would last. Would my love for cheese and meat trump my feelings for Mike? Luckily, it never came to that. All it ...

roasted potato wedges

 These potatoes are a great side dish to almost anything. You can season them in any way you like to go with whatever you are serving, and they keep well. Plus they are so much healthier than the frozen potatoes you can get at the store, not to mention tastier!

Shrimp salad

This is really a cheater post as I didn't make the shrimp salad, I just assembled the plate but it was so tasty, I have to share! We knew the week after the wedding would be pretty much worthless as far as cooking. We're just now feeling back to normal so I made sure to fill the fridge with ...
