    Ratatouille with Polenta

    I experimented with ratatouille for the first time last week. Twice actually. And I also watched Disney-Pixar’s Ratatouille for the first time last week. I guess you could say it was a pretty big week.

  • These nachos are topped with BBQ pork, fajita-style peppers and onions, and more fun toppings, and they'll make great party food!

    Barbecue Fajita Nachos

    Let me begin by being upfront with you. Oliver loves basically anything I cook for him, which either means (a) I am a really good cook, (b) my husband’s palate is marked by the highest possible degree of unpickiness (perhaps not a real word), or (c) I am married to a human garbage disposal.

  • This fresh and bright pasta salad made with blanched asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, and a simple balsamic vinaigrette is perfect for an easy side dish or a simple lunch!

    Asparagus Pasta Salad

    I remember eating asparagus a couple times as a kid and not exactly loving it. I don’t think I’ve ever been a particularly picky eater, but some vegetables are just WEIRD, ya know??

    Super Bowl Sunday is in three days, and that’s good news for me. Now that’s not because I like football, but because I happen to love basically every other aspect of the Super Bowl. Clever commercials? Yep. Over-the-top halftime shows? Absolutely. All the snacks I could dream of? YES, PLEASE.

    Red Cabbage Stir Fry

    I feel pretty good about this one, y’all. If we had a “meal rotation”–you know, the list of dinner recipes you cycle through all the time–this recipe would absolutely make the cut. The truth is that we have no real “meal rotation” in this house.
