I have been on a shrimp kick lately. I love ’em! They take no time to cook, are a great source of protein, and are low calorie! I like them a lot in creamy pasta dishes like this Shrimp Linguine with Ricotta, Fennel, and…
I saw this No-Bake S’mores Pie in my feed reader a month ago and just knew I was going to make it. I was looking for the perfect recipe to use up a big bag of marshmallows I had on hand without having to…
Well, hello there scrumdillyicious pizza that’s not only vegetarian but low calorie! A few issues back, Cooking Light had a magazine featuring several mouth-watering pizzas. Back in February, I bought this cool (purple! or rather figue) pizza stone and it sat in my pantry…
I’m really kicking myself that I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for a few months and just now got around to making it. It completely rocked my world. Yeah, a dish with quinoa was that earth-shattering. Who knew? When I was making my list of…
I’m really excited to share this recipe for Hard Apple Cider Croque Monsieur. I have no idea what made this pop into my head as a good way to cook with Crispin Cider, but I’m glad it did. I’m madly in love with the…

If you follow me on social media, you’re familiar with my bookcase of cookbooks. It’s out of control. I’m hoping to make at least once recipe from each cookbook so it will help me find which ones I actually like and which ones need a…
I may have clued you in on my obsession with loaded baked potatoes, or just baked potatoes for that matter. They are such a great vehicle for any kind of topping. When I found this recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Salad, I instantly knew…
I wasn’t kidding when I said these were fancy condiments in my Beer Bratwursts post. Sweet & Sour Onions and Bell Pepper Relish will make you forget about ketchup and that pickle stuff. Condiments aren’t usually what you’ll be talking about after a meal,…
These Beer Bratwursts were our main course for the 4th. Can’t beat grilling on that holiday and thankfully the rain stayed away just enough for us to fire up the grill. They first cook in a bath of beer with tons of spices and…
