Shrimp Scampi

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Recently I posted a recipe about pesto I made using basil from my garden. If you are a frequent reader then you already know I love all things pesto. Even though pesto and pasta make a terrific meal I wanted to add something more substantial to the dish. My first thought was to add some [...]

Basil & Sunflower Seed Pesto

Monday, June 21st, 2010

It wasn’t that long ago that I tried pesto for the first time. On a whim I bought some, it was jarred and sitting next to the spaghetti sauces on the top shelf at the grocery store. I was a little hesitant to try it and the jar sat in my pantry for at least [...]

Homemade Noodles with Chicken

The holidays tend to be a time overflowing with traditions. May that be a specific meal or dessert your family serves or a specific place your family always gathers. For my husband’s family homemade noodles with chicken over boiled potatoes on Christmas Eve at his mom and dad’s is a tradition we all look forward [...]

Swedish Meatballs

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

We have now been in our house for one month. How quickly that month has gone too. Most of our boxes have been unpacked, we still have a few that have a mish-mash of things in them, nevertheless we are feeling quite settled. There are still things that I want to do to make this [...]

Stuffed Eggplant

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Have you ever tasted something for the first time and thought “oh my gosh this is AMAZING!” then crave it the next week? This was me when I first tried this recipe. I actually made it three times in three weeks that is how good I thought it was. I feel sorry for the eggplant. [...]

Creamy Buttercup Squash Pasta

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Here in Omaha the weather has started to cool down. Last night the temperature actually fell into the 30 degree range –that is cold for September. Once thing that is great about fall is the rich comforting foods that I tend to crave. My parents planted buttercup squash in their garden this year, and they [...]

Farmers Market: Sugar Snap Peas

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I received sugar snap peas from Brian and Kelly of Black Sheep Farms. They wanted me to develop some recipes using these sweet delicious green peas. These peas are so wonderful raw, I could (and did) pop them in my mouth just like potato chips. When I would open the refrigerator door to find something [...]

Farmers Market: Beet Greens and Garlic Scapes

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

On Monday I picked up a box of produce from Black Sheep Farms. My summer “job” is to turn their tasty produce into a tasty dinner. It has been fun to look at food from a different angle; I want to provide recipes that will use the food in a way you may not have [...]

Farmers Market: Baby Bok Choy

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

It was a beautiful sunshiney day on Saturday. We loaded up the girls and set out to visit the farmers market. We stopped by the booth of Brian and Kelly of Black Sheep Farms, where we received Tom Thumb lettuce, some baby bok choy, and beautiful heirloom radishes. My goal is to turn their produce [...]

Chicken Chimichangas

Friday, May 29th, 2009

If I have said it once I have said it at least a hundred times, I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD (including Southwestern and Tex-Mex cuisines). Chicken chimichangas are something I have enjoyed at my favorite restaurants, for some reason it never crossed my mind to make these at home. Recently an old friend from college who [...]
