We like to say that chicken broth makes the world go ’round in this family. While that’s true and hands down one of the most used items in my kitchen, its nice to change it up a bit. Enter Lobster stock. Just as easy to make but with a much short shelf life. It’s perfect…

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…
Lemon Pasta with Pancetta
Pasta is one thing we can eat every day and not get sick of – so needless to say we eat a lot of pasta in our house. We had a dear friend for dinner last Sunday, and I wanted to make something easy, but comforting. And of course delicious! This one knocked it out…
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…
Lemon Butter Pasta with Anchovies
I saw this on Instagram and knew I needed to make it. I don’t love anchovies, but for some reason this recipe spoke to me. And holy moly. It was good. Really, really, good. I adapted it slightly because I didn’t have the exact ingredients, but I don’t think it lost anything. Just super simple…
Creamy Blistered Tomato and Kale Pasta
One of my dearest friends was in town this past weekend, and we had a small girls get together with other besties from our old neighborhood. Dinner needed to be easy, but delicious. I didn’t want to slave away in the kitchen and miss all the tea! It also needed to be vegetarian because one…
Pumpkin Pasta with Country Bacon Sausage
Hands down this is my hubby’s favorite meal. Ask him what he wants for his birthday? Pumpkin pasta. Special occasion? Pumpkin pasta. Regular night? Pumpkin pasta. And I’ll be honest – everyone in the fam is totally on board. This dish is fantastic. Its creamy, spicy, warm, homey and feels like the best kind of…
Sausage Kale and Rigatoni
If you’re looking for a show stopping dinner without a lot of effort this one is perfect. It’s delicious, creamy, unctuous and feels like a restaurant dish – without the price tag. It’s the most recent addition to our dinner repertoire that has both sous chefs and the hubby asking for seconds. Which, let’s be…
Spatchcock Chicken with Pan Sauce
Looking for an easy, delicious and quick (relatively) way to cook chicken? This is it. The poultry is super moist, deliciously juicy and absolutely delectable. Coupled with the pan sauce? You’ll feel like you’re at a fancy restaurant. And its ready in about an hour. Perfect for weeknights, or special Sunday suppers. I served this…
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…
