Low & Slow Sweet Potatoes

Last week I was struck with a sweet potato craving so severe that it actually crept into a dream. Once that happened, I knew I had to hit the grocer and pick up some orange sweeties. I read about this “low & slow” method, and couldn’t wait to try it. This is a fabulous way to cook sweet potatoes! Might be my new go-to, even. Craving satisfied!

Mustard Chicken

Everyone needs a new chicken recipe from time to time — and this one is yum. This recipe is all about the sauce. Mustard is one of my favorite things ever, and I love anything involving a sauce. Try it when you’re in a chicken rut!

Broccoli & Cheddar Crustless Mini Quiches

I’m on a bit of a mini kick lately. And a breakfast kick.  And a yummy things that make my morning happier kick.

These mini quiches are not only adorable, but are a perfect idea for breakfast as it allows you to squeak some veg in the morning hours, which I’m always trying to do.

Pan-Seared Almond Oatmeal

Since steel-cut oats are one of my favorite breakfasts, I loved this idea of adding a little crunch to it by searing. Top with any fruit or nuts you like. Yum!

Mac and Cheese with Shrimp and Radicchio

I’ve made this at least a dozen times~ it’s so good and really unique. Do not skip the anchovy paste, I promise, you won’t even know it’s there but it adds so much to the flavor.

Spinoccoli Pizza

Pizza night at our house! We served this looker and a nice little stuffed crust number topped with turkey pepperoni. Love pizza night.

Protein Packed Whole Wheat Banana Nut Muffins

Once in a great while, I see a recipe that makes me want to jump up, whip out my rolling pin, and get baking. This process usually ends in tears, but once in a while it works out lovely.  These muffins are SUPER healthy (once you take a peek at the ingredients you’ll see what I mean) and delicious. Smear them with a little yogurt butter and dig in!

Mini Frittatas

After realizing that I have 238 recipes saved (from blogs alone!) that I want to make, I decided it was time to start chipping away at the list. This endeavor started with breakfast this morning. These were super easy, pretty darn healthy (using egg beaters), and overall a great go-to breakfast. I look forward to grabbing a couple of these little guys on my way out the door to go to work this week.

Butter-Basted Pan-Seared New York Strip

I don’t even know what to say about this recipe except that it is simply yummy. Try it next time you’re craving steak — you won’t be disappointed.

Roasted Asparagus with Fig Balsamic Reduction

I’m back, bitches!

Ahem. By that, I mean thanks for hanging in there while I was on temporary leave these last couple of weeks. You see, I have indeed been cooking, but just not much that I’ve been overly enthusiastic about. Since I originally began this blog as a way to keep track of my recipes and what I liked, my one hard and fast rule is that I won’t post anything that I wouldn’t want to make again. So here we are.

But tonight, however, we prepared a fantastic meal, wholly inspired by Jenna over at Eat Live Run, which included this asparagus dish. Enjoy!
