Cheese Danish (Redux)

Tina0 Comments

I’m re-sharing a classic today. The other day I did say that I was going to try to share less salads and more comfort food recipes, so here you go. Go big or go home. 🙂 My parents came over to visit this past weekend. My papa loves breakfast pastries so I wanted to make something for him. I couldn’t find a new recipe to try so I looked through my recipe index and found the cheese danish that I originally posted in 2013. I haven’t made it in ages but it was a hit when I made it back …

Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

Tina0 Comments

For a girl who doesn’t fancy making homemade dressing, I sure am making a lot of homemade dressing lately. There is really nothing fancy about this salad, but the blue cheese dressing makes it. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese then you can substitute it for gorgonzola cheese. Someone might have bought that one by accident. 😉 I think a wedge of lettuce on a plate looks so fancy, just like something you’d get at a nice restaurant. The only downside (literally) to it is that all the toppings fall off the sides. Eh, I’m over it because …

Grandma’s Chicken

Tina0 Comments

Time for a bit of nostalga. This is one of those dishes that can feed a family on the cheap and doesn’t take much time to prepare. It’s perfect for a busy family on a budget.

As a fair warning, you have to like canned peas which can be described as an acquired taste for some. If you’d like to to make this into a slightly fancier version you could use frozen veggies or even fresh …

Chicken Chipotle Bowls

Soooo if you thought you’ve seen this post recently then you’d be right. We had a major issue with our server and all I can say is “thank goodness for backups and my husband.” It took a lot of work but my husband got my blog back up and running with some minor hiccups, which included losing my two most recent blog posts. Hey, in the grand scheme of things, I’ll take it. I don’t remember what I wrote when I posted this recipe a couple of weeks ago and to be honest I don’t want to try to recreate …

Corn and Arugula Salad

Tina0 Comments

I’m kind of sorry for sharing so many salad recipes. I know it’s one note-y but my blog reflects my life and salads are my life at the moment. This salad makes for a great appetizer or side dish, but it’s a typical lunch for me lately. I might add some leftover chicken or chick peas to give a protein kick. I’m enjoying all of the fresh veggies that summer has to offer. Doesn’t this look like summer on a plate?! Before you know it, we’ll be talking about holiday cookies 24/7 around here. Until then, what’s your favorite salad …
