This creamy salmon pasta recipe was an answer to a craving I had. I was tired of making chicken, meatballs, chilis, rice, and potatoes. I wanted something with seafood, pasta, and mushrooms that I could eat out of a bowl and enjoy with a glass of wine and a hunk of Italian bread. Please don’t …
Dinner can be as easy as you want it to be, and it doesn’t get any easier than a chicken and sausage sheet pan supper. Feel free to add on whatever dried herbs and spices you wish in order to make this dish as flavorful as possible. I usually add dried thyme and dried rosemary …
When I picked up a half-gallon of apple cider I had 2 recipes in mind: these apple cider mini muffins and my Fall apple risotto. I’ve seen some mini-muffin recipes bake in as little as 11-15 minutes, but mine needed a little more time. These came in at the 20-minute mark, although I probably could …
Maple dijon chicken thighs are one of my favorite go-to recipes for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I usually serve this with my easy rice pilaf and whatever steam-in-a-bag frozen vegetable I manage to grab first out of the freezer. For a few more dinner ideas involving boneless, skinless chicken thighs, try my easy curry chicken, …
Cajun butter salmon is one of those quick and easy dinners that work well for weeknights or any time where the very idea of cooking makes you want to shriek… it also helps if you happen to like salmon. In the interest of keeping this dinner simple, while the salmon was baking in the oven …
I love to make these easy comfort meatballs after I had a long, and admittedly bad, day. They take very few ingredients, are readily available should you need to pick up anything at the store, and you can straighten out the kitchen while they bake. More often than not, my kitchen is usually clean by …
I decided to make stovetop mac and cheese because I was tired of making the usual roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, and rice pilaf as a side dish. Please note, while I chose to purchase an 8 oz block of extra-sharp cheddar and shred it myself in my food processor for the ultimate in melty cheesy …
Rigatoni a la vodka is a wonderful Sunday dinner during the fall and winter months. I prefer to bake this sauce earlier in the day, then let the pot rest on the stove. As I get closer to dinnertime, I make the pasta, then wrap up the sauce… this way I don’t have to worry …
I made some roasted chicken thighs with mushroom jus to serve with my Fall apple risotto for the perfect Fall weekend dinner. Keep in mind, my risotto bakes at 350 F, but the chicken roasts at 425 F. Because of this, I roasted my chicken in a 9-inch square pan in my toaster oven while …
This Fall apple risotto is a simplified version of my original sweet apple risotto that required 25 minutes of continuous stirring. I love serving this hearty version with roasted chicken and a steamed vegetable. On this particular night, I made roasted chicken thighs with mushroom jus and steamed brussels sprouts, and enjoyed it all with …
