I think it’s becoming a theme. Delicious, savory dinners made in less than 20 minutes from ingredients I already have at hand. I love this. It is the kind of dish that makes me look forward to cooking the next night. A stress-free, relaxing meal to prepare, allowing me to appreciate being in the kitchen and to think up what …
The first thing I do when beginning a blog post is to shuffle through the couple hundred photos I took, picking out the very best in the lot. This generally results in around 15-20 shots to load and detail. It really hit me how easy and delicious this salmon was when I came up with only seven photos outlining the …
Red bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, limes, sour cream and tortillas… I make it a habit of keeping these items in my kitchen on a regular basis. So when I have a craving for fajitas very little gets in my way. Add some flank steak, a few key spices (also a pantry standard) and cilantro and you have this satisfying, healthy …
True confession: sometimes I really want fish sticks. This was a favorite of mine growing up and I can’t even begin to imagine the amount my brother, sister and I must have consumed throughout our childhood. So, rather than stocking my freezer with boxes of frozen, less than quality fish, I turned to the foodie-girl side of me and set …

There aren’t many ingredients that don’t respond well to roasting in the oven. After watching Ina Garten roast a number of items, including shrimp, I was sold. It’s one of the best ways to maintain the rich, natural flavors of food and at the same time take it to new heights. Shrimp is a perfect example of this technique transforming …
I have been teaching myself to poach eggs for a while now, finding it to be easier and at the same time harder than I expected. Place an egg in hot water and stir – pretty basic, right? But wait, why is there so much egg white floating around the water now? And how in the world can I get …
Being a foodie-girl, I had a very foodie-centric Christmas. Kitchen gadgets were in abundance and yummy treats filled my stocking. Included with these treasures was, much to my delight, a package of Foxhollow Farm beef! Run by one of my dear friends Maggie Keith, Foxhollow Farm is a grass-fed beef and biodynamic farm in Crestwood, KY. The farm store is never …
