I’ve pulled out all the stops today with an extra cheesy buffalo chicken pasta. I adore cheese, and every once in awhile, I give into my “fiending for fromage” sans limitations. Today was one of those glorious days. I basked in the joys of liquid gold, with the added enhancement of a spicy kick. Now, [...]
This easy Shrimp, Asparagus and Tortellini in Lemon-Dill Scampi Sauce was inspired by the bounty of spring, and the fresh flavors of summer soon to come. Asparagus is ridiculously inexpensive right now, and I got a fantastic deal on some frozen wild American shrimp a couple weeks ago, so the combo sort of matched itself [...]
This Fettucini with Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Buttermilk Sauce was a rarity in my household… something my daughter and I both ate (well, it didn’t quite start that way, there was some drama first). We are both fussy characters. I’m decidedly finicky about what goes in my meals and she has strong textural [...]
This healthy sausage and rabe recipe is pretty quick to make, since much of the prep work can be done during the cooking process. Most of us that cook a lot, tend to do this anyway, but with this particular recipe it seems to time out just right. It all started this morning, I was rifling [...]
I was craving butternut squash lasagna a few days ago, and lucky for me I had some steamed cubed squash on-hand from an earlier meal. That’s about where my “too lazy to go to the store” luck ran out… or so I thought at first. My cheese selection was mostly non-existent. I did have a [...]
I’m a big fan of both roasted vegetables of all kinds and goat cheese, so when I saw a recipe for Penne with Roasted Vegetables and Goat Cheese on the Cooking Light website this morning, it appealed to me. I had a small log of goat cheese on-hand, so I made sure to grab the [...]
Lasagna is a perfect meal for the holiday season. A large steaming pan fresh out of the oven will warm even the biggest humbug’s heart. If you are afraid to make this dish, or have had less than stellar results in the past, put aside those concerns. With the help of Barilla, detectible lasagna is [...]
Now that I’ve got your attention :smirks sinisterly:, get the thoughts of Frankenstein & the Omen out of your head. While My experiments in the kitchen this week would actually not qualify as unholy, they are surely deserving of the unorthodox label. There is nothing like an overabundance of an ingredient, to make me take [...]
Seafood Puttanesca is not an uncommon dish on restaurant menus in my area. Rhode Island is known for seafood, and we have a large Italian population in the state, so various spicy tomato based seafood dishes are quite popular. While I enjoy the bold flavors of Puttanesca sauce, it can be a bit salty for [...]
I have been up to my eyeballs in renovations around here the past couple weeks, so there is some appeal to making a light meatless recipe with many servings like this Butternut Squash Lasagna. I still have a few days of painting left in my kitchen and pantry, so being able to zap a healthy [...]
