Cheeseburger Soup
You know those days when you really want to eat a burger and fries, but don’t want the calories? This soup is the perfect solution. It’s hearty, filling, has red meat and potatoes, but won’t clog up the precious vessels that keep the ol’ ticker ticking. It’s super pliable – meaning – use whatever veggies…
White Bean Soup with Roasted Broccoli, Cheddar and Caramelized Onions
When the weather is crummy and comfort food is desired, but you don’t necessarily want to gorge yourself on burgers and fries, this recipe is perfect. Its creamy, slightly heavy (but still light!), and delicious. There’s plenty of protein from the beans and cheese, with tons of flavor from the broccoli and garlic. The onions…
Grandma’s Potato Salad
Every summer my Mom, sister, Aunt and cousins kick off the warm weather with my Grandma’s potato salad. Its the staple at all of our cookouts, bbq’s, and dinner parties once the weather is hot. It takes a little bit of time, but man is the result worth it. The recipe below is verbatim, but…
Grico’s Grilled Cheese
I know this sounds rudimentary and juvenile – but seriously – who doesn’t love toasty, cheesy tasty goodness? One of my favorite memories is going to lunch with my Mom and sister at a sweet little cafe in Kingston, PA. It was near one of the only places to shop for “cool” clothes and sometimes…
Twice Baked Potatoes
For my birthday a few days ago my hubby and a dear friend took me to dinner. I had Halibut with a lemon thyme sauce, broccoli and a twice baked potato. The broccoli was fine, but nothing to write home about – the halibut, however, was fabulous and the twice baked potato the perfect complement….
Mozzarella Stuffed Marinara Burgers
Guys – these were so good. Even the sous chefs devoured them. I literally ate them standing at the kitchen counter. Whoops. Make them. Tonight. I had just enough Marinara sauce to do nothing with except throw it away or add a smidge to something. I was making cheese stuffed burgers so added it for…
Healthy(-ish) Tater Tot Casserole
My oldest sous-chef had the stomach bug this past weekend, and now that she’s finally feeling better, she’s starving. Like eat everything that’s not nailed down and she might be going to the electric chair famished. She’s been hankering for tater tots, but since they alone are not a dinner food, I decided to make…
IPA Beer Cheese Mac
Yep, you read that write. Beer.Cheese.Mac. I wish I had thought of this on my own, but alas, it was my little sous chef who said we should use the extra dip to make “homemade” mac and cheese. Sounded pretty good to me. And easy. Extra cheese, pasta and beer cheese dip. Topped with Panko…
Tuna Salad with Parmesan and Capers
One of my favorite lunch memories is coming home from church and my mom making tuna melts. They are a core memory and one of my favorite ways to indulge my love of tuna. Promise I’m not a cat! The toasty, crusty bread, warm and gooey cheese and the tang of the tuna had me…
