Last August, my friends and I went to a great seafood restaurant with a casual menu on the New Jersey seaside (no, not Seaside as in the Jersey Shore) . I ordered blackened tilapia and have been looking for a similar recipe since. This month, I put a few recipes together to recreate the light [...]

I usually don’t get home from work until way past dinner time, so Ryan’s been spoiling me by having dinner ready when I walk in the door. Last night, he used items we already had on hand to make the most amazing fajitas I’ve ever eaten! (The picture doesn’t do it justice!)

What you’ll need-

I was uploading pictures from my camera, and completely forgot to post my photos from this dinner. I’m all about easy dinners that are healthy and that leave you feeling satisfied. This eggplant is filled with savory flavors that’ll make you and your honey fight over the leftovers!

So… after reading Decorno’s post on a dutch oven, it’s got me thinking. The Barefoot Contessa is always using them on her show, and everyone has them listed on registries, but do people really use them? I can’t see spending so much money on one item (Le Creuset) in the kitchen, but if I want [...]

Okay, I might be a little dramatic, but I think my spice rack might be my favorite thing in our condo (besides Ryan of course… ha!). I have all my spices on these racks on the inside of two cabinet doors. Being able to see every spice clearly labeled while I’m cooking makes it so much [...]

A goal of mine since the New Year is to cook more often, and to have a solid book of recipes that I have mastered. I don’t want to call it a resolution, because, let’s be real… no one ever sticks to them. This chili-rubbed pork tenderloin has quickly become one of my favorite recipes [...]

This weekend I ate so many amazing dishes, I couldn’t wait to share them with you! I’ve had this recipe in my book with a purple post-it screaming at me to try it, but I kept forgetting to pick up some of the ingredients. Ryan figured it was perfect game time food, so we made [...]
