this ain’t your grandma’s potato salad, y’all. i made this gloriousness you see the other night and it was a big hit with the husband. and my stomach. it’s not mayo- or mustard-based, so it’s lighter and refreshingly saltier. i am a big sour-taste fan and i love olives… and this potato salad made all my…

gwyneth’s B.L.A.T. sandwich
we all know gwyneth. and we all love gwyneth. i especially love her – not only for the way she sings “forget you” in that episode of glee, but – for her love of food. she makes this delightful sandwich called the BLAT, that she shared in her GOOP newsletter: bacon, romaine lettuce, avocado & tomato….
speedy tomato soup
tomatoes and i don’t always have the best of relationships, i’d have to say. BUT there are quite a few instances where i simply adore the red fruit (yes it is a fruit), such as tacos, a B.L.A.T. sandwich, and a GOOD tomato soup. and this weather we have been having lately is making me excited…
pulled bbq chicken sandwiches
tender pieces of chicken… dripping in barbeque sauce… cheese melting on top… all on a crunchy toasted kaiser roll… can you tell my mouth is watering as i type this? i don’t make many sandwiches for dinner, but this is one of my all-time favorite homeade sandwiches. it’s super easy and doesn’t have a long list…
seven layer tostadas
this recipe is simple. easy. delicious. i love the rich creaminess of the guacamole and spiced sour cream paired with the big crunch of the tostada shell. it is mexican cuisine at it’s simplest, yet finest. it was a huge hit with the little she and the husband. and i definitely had more than my…
homemade taco seasoning
i love to be able to make my own stuff. you know, like taco seasonings, that you usually buy at the supermarket. especially when you find your recipe (or someone else’s) to be better than store-bought. i like this one a lot because it’s not as salty as the ready-made packets. we made tostadas the other night…
lacey’s marinated cheese
i make this appetizer for almost every potluck. i made it for the little she’s first birthday party. it is requested often throughout the year. and i swear i would make it for only myself for no other reason than to sit and eat it all in one sitting. and i can only tout…
spiced molten chocolate cakes
once a week, i have several close girlfriends that come over & invade my house. for girls night. my favorite night of the week. and for girls night, we love to get our sweet on. and THIS recipe is the best way to indulge. this is the best molten chocolate cake i have ever tasted….
macaroni & cheese with chickpeas
this is a fantastic recipe that i have made for the little she so many times. i had been looking for a kid-friendly macaroni and cheese, but one that was fairly healthy. (and it had to be super yummy because i wanted to make it for my hubby too.) the first time i made this was with my…
ricotta and honey toast
this breakfast reminds me of my childhood. my mom, “the mahm” (long before she was “the mahm“), made this often for my brother and me before we’d head off to school. i made it this week for the first time in a long time and the taste was so familiar, so sweet. also eating this…
fresh fruit popsicles
i love this idea for popsicles…they’re so pretty! they are fairly healthy (not packed with tons of added sugar like most popsicles) and they are perfect for a teething toddler or kids trying to beat the summer heat. and as hot as it has been for the last week in missouri, this might be all imma…
chocolate, peanut butter & marshmallow pudding cookies
if the picture above, with all of it’s marshmallowy gooeyness, or just the name of the cookies hasn’t made you run for the pantry yet, GO NOW. after you pull them out of the oven, the creaminess of the warm peanut butter chips quickly melts in your mouth and the marshmallows make them chewy and oh so…
