Braised Chicken Thighs with Spinach and White Beans is a comforting autumn dish that is easy to pull together any day of the week. The first taste of Fall arrived this morning. 62 degrees with the highs only getting to the mid-70s sometime this afternoon. I am not complaining one little bit. After several weeks of 90 degree weather every day this is a much needed respite ...

My thoughts on Food Magazines and Baked Chicken Fajitas
Baked Chicken Fajitas are suuuppper easy to whip together for a delicious weeknight meal. And its healthy too! I don't buy food magazines very often. Those things are so expensive. I have a hard time paying $10 for a monthly publication which is mostly ads and recipes I will never cook. I also have a hard time throwing them away. I mean I paid $10 for that thing! I am ...
Tuna Tuesday (er..Wednesday) Salmon and Asparagus Pasta with Walnuts
Seriously...it could not be more beautiful outside right now. The last few days I have had all of the doors and windows open in the house enjoying the soft breezes and the smell of Spring in the air. All of this gorgeous weather won't last long. I know that soon enough there will be big bugs and clouds of yellow pollen to contend with. Sinuses and snotty kids won't be far ...
Phyllo Wrapped Pork with Apple-Thyme Chutney
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and right now we are up to our eyeballs in Valentine's cards for 14 preschoolers. We have been cutting, gluing, sticking stickers, and writing our names for a couple of days now. The end result is eventually going to be 24 handmade butterfly Valentine's. Aren't they cute?! (I found the print out for them here if you are interested ...
Tuna Panzanella Salad
If any of you follow me on Twitter, you already know what I have been up to for the last week. I have been knee deep in sick kids since last Monday. I won't elaborate too much ( although I could but this is a food blog and bodily functions are not the most appetizing conversations), but let's just say that I have run out of towels 3 times in the last week and it wasn't because ...
BBQ Chicken Pouches
Well, word on the street is that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers are headed to the Super Bowl. The word on the street also says that it will probably be a good game, too. I hear that people are already placing their bets on this big game. Thank goodness, there is "word on the street" to fill me in on these things, because I haven't the foggiest idea what's ...
FoodBlogSouth, Pies and Birthday Gifts
I would like to start telling you about my birthday weekend, by letting you all know that I hate my husband's truck. The grey, cumbersome tin can that I drove to Birmingham, Alabama in was, in short, a pain in my butt. Me + crappy, stick shift truck + crappy GPS + city I'm not familiar with = me driving through Birmingham like a lunatic. That's all I'm going to say about ...
