68 Days of Gourmet: Day 45 This might seem like a strange combination but just trust me on this one – it’s good. What was not good was my decision to start this risotto at 8:45 after I got home from yoga. I was so hungry I didn’t know if I’d make it through all [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 37 It’s Wednesday night…which means I’m on my own! Brandon is in a bowling league (seriously) on Wednesday nights so I get to enjoy a night of eating whatever I want and watching what I want on TV. Glorious! Tonight I had leftover Coconut Red Lentil Curry, a salad and [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 21 I have to admit that I had a mini-meltdown during menu planning this week. I was all over the place and couldn’t make a decision. Sometimes menu planning is so simple for me – it all just comes together. Other times – not so much. I was just really [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 17 I was so excited to prepare our Thanksgiving feast with my dad this year. It’s rare that we have the chance to be together in the kitchen and we’ve never cooked the Thanksgiving meal together. This was the first year that Thanksgiving was at my parent’s house instead of [...]

68 Days of Gourmet: Day 3 I love roasted winter squash. While it is time intensive to cook, the preparation is easy and pretty hands-off. If you’ve never worked with winter squash it can look a little intimidating in the store. I will admit that it’s a bit of a challenge to cut into (I [...]
Lightened Caesar Salad with Pancetta and Cherry Tomatoes
Posted in Appetizer, Healthy, Italian, Pork, Quick and Easy, Salad, Vegetable, tagged caesar salad, cherry tomatoes, dressing, pancetta, Salad on September 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This is a lightened and eggless variation of one of my favorite Caesar salads from Ina Garten. I love Ina’s Caesar salad for entertaining. It’s great with home made croutons. We had Italian night last Sunday and I wanted to make this salad but was looking for something lighter and without the raw egg. I [...]
Cajun Tilapia with Polenta and Peppers

I am always hearing the question, “What can I do with tilapia?” One of our all-time favorite tilapia preparations is this Cajun tilapia. For a while I kept this Cajun seasoning in the pantry and even gave it out as a Christmas gift in mason jars a couple years ago. So I was looking for [...]
Summer Corn Dip

While we were living in Birmingham, this corn dip seemed to pop up at a lot of parties. Who would think that a cold, creamy corn mixture would be delicious and addicting with Fritos Scoops? Yes, you heard me right…I said it – Fritos! This dip is a cinch to put together and will bring [...]
Tomato Pie

Tomato pie is probably one of my husband’s all-time favorite recipes. The recipe came from his church’s cookbook and it was one of his favorite dishes his mom made. Though I grew up in the South, I had never heard of tomato pie until I met Brandon. I was definitely willing to give it a [...]
Goat Cheese Veggie Pasta

I saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen and it reminded me of an old favorite I hadn’t made in a while. One of my favorite easy pasta dishes is to saute vegetables and mix them with pasta and flavored Boursin cheese (usually garlic and herb). I love goat cheese so when I saw the recipe [...]
