My team at work has been working exceptionally hard recently as we come to a close/publish date for one of our big projects. I wanted to do a bit of a morale boost, and they said they liked cookies! I’ll take any excuse to bust out Petunia (my mixer) and whip up some cookies! Most […]

Bon Appetit: Italian Dressing & Marinade
I’ve been talking for weeks about giving in and making my own salad dressing. Dressings can be expensive. The creamier they are, the less healthy they are. It’s like you can’t win. I’ve seen so many of those Goodful-type videos, and I decided to give it a try. Luckily, I happened to have everything on […]
Bon Appetit: Italian Meat Sauce
I haven’t really eaten anything Italian since I got back from Europe. I mean, once you’ve had boar sauce, does anything else really measure up? This week, for our The Bachelorette night, I was craving Italian. This Italian meat sauce is simple and is actually going to feed me all week. Thank goodness for leftovers. Italian Meat […]
Bon Appetit: Vegetable Stir Fry
It’s time for another recipe! I think I need to change the title of this series to “Lazy Girl Cooking”. I mean, I love meals that you can cook in less than 30 minutes with things you already have on hand. This week: Vegetable Stir Fry. I love recipes where you can hide the vegetable […]
Bon Appetit: Taco Dump
Disclaimer: The name of this dish is a testament to what you do to cook it, not how it tastes! It’s truly delicious. This is such an easy Mexican dish. I call this a “Taco Dump” because of what you do to cook it. You could also call this a “Pantry Dump” if you wanted […]

Bon Appetit: Italian Style Zucchini

With that being said, I’ve got another delicious zucchini recipe to share! The last time I shared a zucchini recipe, it was for my Roasted Vegetables. This time, I’ve added a bit […]
Bon Appetit: Sweet Potato Fries
Any given day, I would rather have a sweet potato fry than a regular potato fry. It’s been my quest since I moved into this new apartment to find the perfect sweet potato fry. After a lot of tries…most of them extremely mediocre…I have achieved the perfect, delicious sweet potato fry. This is a really […]
Bon Appetit: Simple Salmon Recipe
I broke the cardinal rule of money saving and went grocery shopping hungry. Fast forward about forty-five minutes, and I left with a salmon filet (among real groceries too). I’m a fairly big fan of fish. For the last four years or so, I’ve been a bit spoiled with knowing exactly where the fish I […]
Bon Appetit: Everything Sauce
Happy Friday! I’m still in the process of recovering from my company’s conference, but blogging never sleeps. The recipe I’m going to share with you today is for, what most people call Burger Sauce. However, it’s really an “everything sauce”…tacos, chicken, fries, veggies, etc. This recipe started as most do: I wanted Zax Sauce at […]
