Bacon and Bell Pepper Breakfast Quesadilla

Posted on September 28, 2009 - Filed Under Breakfasts, cheese, eggs | 3 Comments

If Will had his way, we’d eat Blueberry and White Chocolate Buttermilk Pancakes every single morning. Actually, scratch the ‘we’ – he’d eat the whole batch himself every day.
Not that I can blame him … they are delish.
But could we really eat pancakes daily? My schedule and waistline say no way, so I try to [...]

Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers

Posted on August 11, 2009 - Filed Under Beef, cheese, grill, sandwich | 4 Comments

It was a steamy, hot day today. It was one of those days where you just don’t know what to do with yourself. The kids and I ran errands, took a walk (what was I thinking?!?) and ran through the sprinkler. Because I wanted to. Finally, we gave in and collapsed onto the couch with [...]

Totally Americanized: Ham and Cheese Fried Rice Recipe

Posted on July 18, 2009 - Filed Under cheese, rice | 7 Comments

The other evening was one of those nights. You know the ones: where you just don’t feel much like cooking and really aren’t sure what to make anyway. At first, I was going to do something with chicken and serve it over rice, but midway through the rice cooking process, I realized that I really [...]

As my friends can attest, there was a time in my life where I could down a whole box of macaroni and cheese. In the days before organic, eating local and slow food became buzz words, I was all about the quick, easy and accessible. That was also before I (and most people) ever laid [...]

Easy Spinach Frittata

For a few years now, I’ve had this fascination with frittatas. Convinced that they would be too thick, too dense, too eggy and so on, I swore I would never make one. Yet, I coveted every photo that my fellow food bloggers snapped of the interesting egg dish.
Finally, in search of an easy breakfast recently, [...]

Presto Pasta: Lighter Pasta Fresca

Posted on July 12, 2007 - Filed Under cheese, pasta | 3 Comments

I am a Romano girl. Always have been, always will be. There is almost always a big chunk of Romano from Costco in my fridge, at the ready to be grated, sliced or chopped. Why do I love it? It’s like biting into certainty. That sharp, decisive taste adds dimension to many dishes in my [...]

Cheese-a-holic

Will is a cheese-a-holic. He asks for it all the time in that cute little voice (”chhhheeeeesssssse”) and it’s always followed with a bit of gratitude (”dank you”) for his favorite food item . . . next to chocolate, of course. Fresh mozzarella is his favorite, but he’s not picky . . . he will [...]
