Lasagna

January 24, 2012

Pin It Sunshine! There’s sunshine today! Beautiful, bright, brilliant sunshine. Why am I so excited? Because for at least the past week we’ve had either rain or heavy fog. Cold, grey days that seemed to just drag by. Now I’m not complaining about the rain, goodness knows we need it, but just for today I’m [...]

November 8, 2011

Pin It There are just certain recipes that everyone needs to have in their recipe box, aren’t there? You know those recipes that are so basic that you can make them into hundreds of different things?

Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato (BLT) Pasta

September 17, 2011

Pin It People think that because I write a food blog that I must cook constantly. Well, it is true that I do enjoy getting in the kitchen and making great food for my family. However, if I’m being totally honest, there are days when by dinner time I’m just completely wiped out. Does that [...]

Baked Meatballs and Spaghetti

July 15, 2011

We’ve been doing a lot of kid-friendly food this summer. With the grands in and out, back and forth, there hasn’t been much “fancy” cooking going on. And speaking of “kid food,” one of the universal favorites of kids of all ages has to be spaghetti and meatballs. But I always avoided doing the meatballs [...]

Baked Spaghetti

July 5, 2011

Just in case you were wondering, no, I haven’t dropped off the face of the Earth. I haven’t stopped cooking either. I’ve just been otherwise occupied for the past few weeks. BeeBop and I both took a nice long vacation that started with a U.S. Navy reunion in Charleston, South Carolina, followed by a week-long [...]

Summertime Pasta Salad

June 3, 2011

Call me old-fashioned but I just love a good old pasta salad. One that is loaded with fresh veggies and coated with a rich, tangy dressing. Oh, yeah. That’s right, I’m bringing back the centerpiece of every 1980′s cookout. I’m making it my mission to revive the lowly pasta salad. Just ask BeeBop. We’ve had [...]

Pasta with Italian Sausage & Tomatoes

June 23, 2010

It’s summer time in the South. And, let me tell you, a southern summer is hot. Hot and humid. The kind of hot that you almost can’t get away from and the kind of humidity that clings to your skin and wilts your hair as soon as you set foot outside the air conditioned comfort [...]

Pasta with Tomato-Basil Sauce

June 8, 2010

Can anyone tell me something that shouts “summer time” louder and clearer than tomatoes and fresh basil? Tomatoes and basil are two ingredients that make a near perfect combination every time. There’s the classic Caprese Salad with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. And Panzanella, the perfectly delectable use for day old Italian bread, with tomatoes and basil. But today I’m [...]

Ziti Bake

April 12, 2010

Wow. Do I ever have Spring Fever! The days are longer and warmer and all I want to do is enjoy the sunshine. Nearly to the exclusion of everything else. Including cooking. That’s bad. Especially when you have a food blog! In case no one noticed, I only did one post last week. One measly [...]

Pasta Puttanesca

April 2, 2010

I know I’ve told you all before how BeeBop loves his meat and potatoes. I do, too, but I also love veggies! If I could get away with it, I’d do a meatless dinner several times a week. While we’re not quite to that point yet, I do occasionally slip in a meatless meal and he usually enjoys it. This [...]
