Italian Chopped Salad

January 30th, 2017Tina0 Comments

Wow, writer’s block stinks. I blame January. It’s the middle of winter, it’s cold, it’ dark all the time, and there’s absolutely nothing interesting going on. Nothing. At. All. I suppose one could say that finding a new salad recipe is interesting but that’s not what I really had in mind. I’m really into this salad combo, but I’m especially loving the Kalamata olives and chickpeas. And this salad dressing is the bomb digity. I have to admit that I’m not always in the mood to make a dressing because it tends to take too much time, but this one is quick …

Do you remember back in October of last year when I told you that my husband and I vacationed in Colorado? Well, I’m finally sharing all the deets with you. Better late than never, right? It’s quite a bit of information so I’m sharing this in two parts (stay tuned for Part 2). If you love the mountains or have never experienced seeing them, then we highly recommend visiting Colorado. There are so many wonderful cities to visit so we decided to do a 10 day road trip. We visited Denver, Colorado Springs, Aspen, Vail, a few spots in between, and then …

Pasta Con Ceci

January 23rd, 2017Tina13 Comments

What comes to mind when you think of comfort food? The first thing that comes to my mind is pasta. I love pasta 365 days a year. Mmm, carbs. But there’s something about eating a bowl of pasta on the couch, cuddled under two blankets that gives me warm fuzzy feelings. I could be happy with a bowl of pasta, butter, and parmesan cheese. That might sound lame but it’s my go to meal when I don’t know what to eat. In fact, I actually had that very exact meal for lunch yesterday. Add to the pasta a little bit …

Sweet Potato and Hard Boiled Egg Salad

January 18th, 2017Tina0 Comments

I don’t usually like unitaskers. You know, a kitchen gadget that only has one purpose. However, I have an exception today. I’m talking about an Eggsact Egg Timer. It was one of the best things that we registered for when we got married. I don’t mean to sound like a infomercial but this thing really works and it’s under $5! Yes, we registered for something that was only $5. You never know what someone’s budget is and we wanted to make sure everyone had a shot at it. That was eight years ago and we still use it all the time. It …
