Lemon Yogurt Chicken

Tina0 Comments

What are you making for dinner tonight? This inquiring mind wants to know. It’s gotten cooler out and the leaves are falling so we are in full Autumn mode. That means bring on the chili and soups. My husband and I made our favorite chili last week. I think we might make a batch of split pea soup this week, which is another one of our Fall favorite meals. While that’s all delicious, sometimes I’m in the mood for something a little bit lighter like this chicken. It’s marinated in yogurt, lemon, and oregano sauce. Funnily enough you don’t taste …

Spinach and Rice

Tina0 Comments

Can green colored food look appetizing? Maybe it’s a food blogger’s dilemma. I’m always looking for side dish recipes, especially ones that aren’t high maintenance. I’ll spend time on prepping the main part of the dinner or the dessert ( 😉 ) but by the time I get to the side dishes I have no time to spare. So let’s just say that the side dishes always get the short end of the stick in my kitchen. While this spinach and rice dish might not look like much in photos, I think it could be the recipe that you reach …

Tortellini Salad

Happy October! Even though we’re entering into stew and soup season, I wanted to share a salad recipe. I figure there’s plenty of time for soups and stews. This is the kind of salad that you can make 365 days a year because the ingredients are available all year long. (If you can’t find basil then you can use other fresh herbs that are available.) This is easy and fast to whip up and it’s a great make ahead meal. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year and I have lots of things on my to do list. …

Little Cheddar Cheese Bread

Tina0 Comments

How cute is this little cheddar cheese bread? This is a quick bread so when I say “bread” I mean a savory cake. This is really the only kind of bread I make because yeast scares me (and I’ve got a wonderful and talented husband who makes all sorts of it, so I don’t really need to). If you like cheese and bread then this is your dream. It’s loaded with cheddar and Parmesan cheese. It’s the kind of bread that will go well with almost anything, like salads, soups, chili… you get the idea. Look at those wonderful pockets …

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 …
