I'm still in that "it's so hot I don't want to turn on the oven" phase, but I also really like baked and roasted food. So in an effort to throw some variety into the sandwiches-salads-crockpot meal-repeat cycle I've been in lately, I wanted to try something different. And so, I turned on the oven. Although, in all honesty, I totally made this dinner at 9am, photographed it, and put it in the fridge to reheat later. And that was a definite win, because my house was not so hot at dinner … [Read more...]
Recipe: Chicken Fajitas
My kids are sissies when it comes to spicy food. So finding a balance between having some flavor and making food they'll actually eat is sometimes tricky.

With only a few simple ingredients, this meal comes together … [Read more...]
Recipe: Crockpot Ground Beef Stew
I use my crockpot a lot during the summer. It still heats up the kitchen, but not as much as cooking on the stove or turning on the oven.

Recipe: Sour Cream Beef Casserole
It's strange the foods we crave during pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Jonah, all I wanted to eat were bagels with cream cheese. (I also at one point wanted spaghetti-os with mozzarella cheese, something I hadn't had in years.) With Matthew, it was pizza. Both of those probably had something to do with the fact that I worked at a hotel, where there were bagels for breakfast and people were constantly ordering pizza. Those cravings made sense. With Hannah, I couldn't get enough of … [Read more...]
Recipe: The Best Beef Enchiladas
Growing up, enchilada night was always one of my favorites. I loved the warm tortillas full of tasty filling, the plethora of toppings, and I even loved the leftovers. For real. This recipe actually tastes even better the next day. In the past, I've tried different variations on this recipe to try to make it cheaper or healthier. But they've never quite measured up, and I always wish I had just made these instead. Because these truly are the best beef enchiladas you've ever … [Read more...]
