When I discover a tasty new recipe, all I want to do is share it with everyone. The recipe, that is. The actual meal I just want to eat it all myself. Sure, I’ll save a few bits for my husband. I’m generous like that. I’m feeling so generous right now, as I live and …

Easy Turkey Tacos
It’s time I confess something that’s quite embarrassing for a self-proclaimed foodie and resisting-rehab snobaholic. I’m (sometimes) a big ol’ cheater. Please don’t judge me. It’s just that, once in awhile, I need a break. I can’t be fabulous all the time, ya know? You deserve a break, too. In today’s world, it’s so hard …
Tangerine Beef Stir Fry with Green Beans and Sweet Red Peppers
“Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Growing up, I was always bored by science.

Not happening. Secretly, I would just prefer it if …
Tomato Basil Tilapia
When I was growing up, eating fish meant fish sticks and tarter sauce. Yuck. Sure, I liked the fried crunchy part and it sort of hid the fish taste but I didn’t know that I liked fish until I became an adult and learned to appreciate it for another reason: toppings! To this day, I’m …
Artichoke and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Recent road rage? Mad at your boss? You had a few choice words for that snippy grocery clerk but chose to bury them wayyy down deep inside? I hear you. I’ve got a solution. It doesn’t involve anything illegal or resorting to violence. Okay, maybe violence. But controlled violence with the added bonus of a …
Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Tomatoes, Basil, and Orzo Pasta
Chicken nuggets, you say?! Hmph. Snobs don’t desire any dish with the word “nuggets” in the title. I should know. What if the chicken nuggets were referred to as “gourmet” or “totally awesome, dude”? I think you might have a change of heart. The truth is, I used to make this dish without chicken, as …
