Quick and delicious weeknight meals
Tim and I had a quiet Saturday night at home planned so I decided to make a comfort food staple – meatloaf. I’d be remiss if I didn’t post this Wedding Crasher’s clip because I can’t help but (poorly) imitate Will Ferrell whenever I make …
I made this delicious egg dish today for brunch. Baked eggs allow for such an elegant presentation and appear far more complicated than they actually are. It really isn’t much more than throwing some eggs and other ingredients in gratin dishes. This recipe was flavored …
It’s apple season! And, that means apple pie! The Little Pie Company in our neighborhood has the most delicious Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie so I searched online for a similar recipe. I didn’t find one with sour cream in the recipe but I found …

Tonight, I made this tasty “stoup” — Rachael Ray’s word for a dish that is heartier than a soup but not quite a stew. The dish boasts all the flavors of chicken cacciatore — peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, a touch of spice. Just a few changes. …
