Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries have become one of my favorite side dishes. I love, love, love them! If they are on the menu there’s no way I’m ordering any other side. I thought it would be nice to replicate them at home, but bake them so they aren’t as many calories. The hardest part is just […]

Classic Green Beans

I just want to say I’m sorry for my lack of posting the past several weeks. I haven’t cooked or baked as near as much as I would like. I’ve either been out of town or under the weather! But I’m hoping to get back in the kitchen next week. Until then, I just wanted […]

Maple Butternut Squash

This is another great recipe from my new Ellie Krieger cookbook, So Easy. Squash is a great side, though I do find it super hard to cut up, but it’s totally worth it. I served them along side these chicken mushroom quesadillas I made the other day, and it balanced out the meal very nicely. […]

Corn & Bean Salsa

Adam was off of work all last week, which was glorious. We had a blast. I thought it would be fun one day to make several appetizers that we could eat on for several meals and just hang out and watch ballgames, movies, play games, etc. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about cooking and […]

Turkey Butternut Squash Pizza

I saw this recipe for pumpkin turkey flatbread pizza on Cara’s Cravings and thought it sounded great for turkey leftovers on Thanksgiving. Then I got to thinking that my husband isn’t that crazy about pumpkin so I was thinking of doing a variation on it but wasn’t sure what. Then this recipe from Black Cat […]

Mustard Rosemary Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes

I saw this in my most recent Martha Stewart Living Magazine in the Healthy Living/Fit-To-Eat article, and thought it sounded delightful for dinner. This meal certainly did not dissapoint. It does take a bit of time to bake in the oven, so it might be more for a Sunday dinner than a weeknight meal. This […]

Roasted Potato Corn Salad

This is a great side dish and a great way to use up any leftover corn or potatoes. I found this is a recent Rachael Ray Magazine. It calls for onion and jalapenos, but I decided to leave those out. I also added in some honey to balance out the flavors and acidity, providing a […]

Tomatoes Stuffed with Roasted Corn Salad

I had seen this gorgeous side dish on Elizabeth’s Edible Experience and knew that it would be a wonderful summery side dish for any meal. I paired these with her spicy chicken sandwiches, which I will post later. This dish was so flavorful and refreshing, absolutely perfect for summer. This dish is sure to impress […]

Vegetarian Chili Burgers

I have still been trying to limit the amount I eat and have been looking for vegetarian recipes. When I saw the recipe for these Chili Burgers on A Year in the Kitchen I just knew I had to try them. These were great and Adam loved them too. They had a hearty flavor and […]
