Savory Cornbread Biscuits

I wanted to take a break from the sweet treats this week, and make something savory that I could have with dinner. But I still had the urge to bake. So I landed on biscuits. These biscuits are SAVORY which makes them the perfect addition to dinner. Sweet Corn, Cheese, Garlic, Green Onion, all combined …

Cheeseburger Burrito

I was craving a summer burger but it was a rainy day and I didn’t have the time to form patties nor did I have the gusto to go out in the rain and fire up the grill. So instead I thought I would take the ground beef and make a cheeseburger burrito instead. It’s …

Mac and Cheese Bites

Who doesn’t love baked Mac and Cheese? This dish is a classic Americana, and what is even better is that they are formed into individual serving sizes. Which makes it beautiful to display and also Covid friendly since there is no communal pot. Plus you don’t need to worry about getting your dish back since …

Gluten Free Cacio e Pepe

This recipe is so simple, I’m shocked it’s not in my regular rotation. Cacio e Pepe literally means cheese and pepper. And that is basically the recipe in itself. I opted for gluten free pasta, but regular pasta works just fine if that’s not something you need to look out for. Then its just pasta …

Spaghetti Nests

Want an easy, but fun weeknight dinner that also stores and saves easily in individual servings? We got you, look no further than spaghetti nests.  With only 4 ingredients and the muffin pan of your choice (I used double sized) this comes together in a snap and looks super fun and cute.

Stuffed Mushrooms (Gluten Free)

I was looking for side side recipes when I came across stuffed mushrooms. These are surprisingly simple to make. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that these had flown under the radar for so long. BUT NOT ANYMORE! These are sooo simple to make and everyone loves them. I decided to adapt the recipe a little …

Big Mac Salad

Let’s ease into this whole New Years Resolution diet thing slowly. No need to jump mouth first into the lettuce just to relapse back to burgers two days later. Successful diets usually have a slow transition and consistency. Which is why the Big Mac Salad is the perfect transition from junk food to healthy foods! …

Mummy Dogs

Who doesn’t love pigs in a blanket?  Those were always my favorite appetizers at family parties as a kid.  So I figured why not go full-size and festive for halloween!  Just as easy as the bite sized version, you really only need three ingredients and a few helping hands and these come together in just …

Cauliflower and Broccoli Gratin

I was one of those weird kids growing up that actually enjoyed vegetables. Broccoli? Yes. Spinach? Yes. Cauliflower? Yes. Brussels sprouts? Yes. And I still enjoy them to this day. Im always on the look out to figure out new recipes to keep the veggie side dishes interesting.  Since this recipe has cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, cheese, …

Chicken Parmesan Zucchini Boats

Its Zucchini Season! And these Chicken Parmesan Zucchini boats are super simple to make. It’s a light twist to the classic chicken parmesan that leave you feeling full and satisfied. I also like that it pairs meat and a veggie which also answers the question of what vegetable should I make for dinner?.  We start …

Savory Oven-Baked Brie

Cheese, it should really be its own food group.  I love cheese and it’s even better when hot and melty right out of the oven!  Appetizer or side with steak. For Steak recipes, check out our post on how to get the perfect steak.  This is an easy recipe to jazz up the typical boring …

Baked Macaroni

This recipe is very simple and originated from a church cookbook contributed to by all the Italian families from my grandparent’s old neighborhood in Buffalo. That recipe book and this recipe in particular, hold a very special place in my heart.  Baked Macaroni was a staple at my grandma Jo’s house when I was growing …

Bacon & Gruyere Quiche

Bacon, Cheese, Pie….. What could be better? This was my exactly thought as I finally stumbled upon the perfect recipe to use up the last of the eggs in the carton. In the past, I always found quiches to be too dry and had that bland healthy taste. And really what could be better than …

Spinach and Artichoke Chicken

I love spinach artichoke dip. It’s tasty, flavorful,  and feels sort of healthy because it has vegetables and classy because it has that fancy vegetable, artichokes.  However, I know that realistically a dinner of tortilla chips and spinach artichoke dip, which traditionally has a lot of cheese in it (shhhh don’t tell anyone), is extremely …

Cheese and Spinach Puff Pastry Pockets

Do you have a last minute get together with friends where you have to bring an appetizer or snack?  These spinach puff pastry pockets are sure to wow in taste and in ease (but, you don’t have to tell anyone that).  They are a good treat to reheat and you can prep and bake in …

Quinoa & Cauliflower ‘Mac n Cheese’

This Non-Mac ‘Mac n Cheese’ actually is the best thing since since sliced bread. And it can even be gluten-free too!  It’s cheesy and satisfying and even has veggies in it so you feel less guilty. I’ve always been a huge Mac n Cheese fan, ever since I was a kid. But as an adult, …

A Twist on Comfort Food: Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese

Looking to jazz up the regular old canned soup and classic grilled cheese with a gourmet twist?  Adding a different kind of cheese and fruit to a panini is one way to do it. Roasting your own veggies and making homemade butter croutons to garnish soup is the perfect compliment to this sweet and savory …
