my husband came home from work the other day and was pleasantly surprised to find that we were having chicken pot pie for dinner - he loves it! it is such a classic - it's got plenty of vegetables (which i love), a homemade white sauce and, of course, lots of chicken. while the pie crust i use is … [Read more...]
this is one of those recipes that you will want to keep forever. hand-write it on an index card and pass down to your children. chicken salad is one of those classic recipes, and i'm sure there are about 100+ variations out there. but this one is by far our favorite. it's super simple and has a … [Read more...]
every afternoon the same thing happens. i get hungry. and since it feels like i've spent the whole morning & early afternoon cleaning up after breakfast and lunch and generally spending 95% of my time in the kitchen, i'm really not looking for a snack that requires me to "make" something per se, … [Read more...]
this past week as i was stocking up (again) on cereal from the grocery store and then proceeded to put away said cereal in my pantry, i noticed that 99% of this cereal *i* would never eat. not that i haven't eaten it in the past - i used to love this stuff. lucky charms - amazing. reese puffs - used … [Read more...]
this is a cake that my mom has been making for years. she made it almost every time we'd go over to her house because she knew it was my husband's favorite - and who would blame him? it's got sour cream to make it super moist, and pudding to make it fudgy. it may be called "death by chocolate" cake, … [Read more...]

i need to share this recipe for overnight monkey bread with you all because a) it was so super easy to make, b) it made itself overnight - all i had to do was bake it in the morning, and c) my kids devoured it!!! it is so good. there is nothing like having a super yummy breakfast - that you don't … [Read more...]
why is this my favorite minestrone soup recipe? there are several reasons. here are a few. 1. it has bacon in it. need i say more? 2. i happen to be a vegetable lover and so having a vegetable-loaded meal always makes me happy. 3. my mom used to make this for dinner - i always loved when … [Read more...]
today i was feeling kinda lazy. it's raining and dark and cold. i didn't get out of my pajamas until the afternoon. i didn't feel like cleaning. i didn't feel like making anything for dinner. but i also did NOT want to feel all crazy when everyone started saying, "i'm hungry!" over and over and i … [Read more...]
