Spinach Pie Spaghetti Squash

October 22nd, 2014Tina36 Comments

Do you find it intimidating to work with squash? If yes, it’s not as scary as it seems. I promise. I used to be intimidated by squash. No, I didn’t think that it would beat me up. 😛 I simply had no idea how to cook with it, which meant it was foreign to me. Of course anything foreign seems difficult and intimidating (for example, the fact that only my husband bakes bread in this house). Having a food blog inspired me to try a few different kinds of squash last year and boy have I been missing out on some good …

Baked Acorn Squash

October 20th, 2014Tina8 Comments

I’ve been wracking my brain, trying to come up with a dinner recipe using this acorn squash. We got it at a local farm and it’s been sitting in the fridge looking to be eaten.

Bacon, Egg, And Cheese Skillet Strata

Have you ever wished for a delicious piece of quiche but didn’t want the calories of the crust? How about a bread pudding, but where you’re not really in the mood for something that tastes like French toast? I didn’t know there was anything like that until recently. It’s called a Strata and it’s a mixture of bread, eggs, and cheese and was apparently made for just such a collection of needs. Well as far as I’m concerned they can call it whatever they want, I call it freaking delicious! Who wouldn’t like a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich in a …

Roasted Broccoli And Parmesan Polenta Bites

October 13th, 2014Tina31 Comments

I’m super excited to bring you this broccoli dish. Wow, that’s not something you hear often, especially from me. Okay, how do I explain this… I like broccoli, but I don’t tend to eat it much because I don’t like what it does to my tummy (putting it delicately). For some reason unbeknownst to me, I decided to ignore my aversion to this green veggie and create this appetizer. I’m so glad I did because these bites are my favorite way to eat broccoli now. I love all of the textures going on here. The crunch of the toasted bread and the roasted broccoli combines …
