I discovered my love for cooking during a long search for a stress outlet. I’d come home from work, completely spent and emotionally drained. I would find myself zoning out in the front of the television, trying to put the challenges of the day (or week, or month…) behind me and to simply ‘check-out.’ Flipping through the channels, I kept …
It seems that lately, I can’t get enough spicy food. Given this persistent, unrelenting heat-wave, I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised. As contradictory as it may seem, spicy food is actually a wonderful vehicle for beating the heat. Have you ever found yourself breaking into a light ‘glow’ when you eat something deliciously hot? It’s your body’s response to …
This post almost makes me feel guilty. Almost. If it didn’t taste so wonderfully, impossibly good then it would feel like a cop-out. Far too easy to be worth-while for you all, my darling foodie-friends. However as hard as I try, I continue to fail – I cannot make this any more complex. Alas, it is what it is… simple …
Summer has arrived! It teased us with a blast of heat in early March, whetting our appetites for long days in the sun, aimless hours lost in the pages of a book. My most favorite summer-time moments are spent at my in-law’s house, or in their garden, rather. Lounging by the pool with a view of the lake peaking through …
This is not what I originally had in mind. It all started with my pursuit for a perfect, go-to marinara sauce. I’ve been going round with this for several turns now and have exercised restraint with every trail… ‘no Lindsey – put the red pepper flakes down – one quarter tsp is enough!’ ‘For goodness sakes Lindsey, step away from …
I adore risotto. I first watched Giada de Laurentiis make it on Every Day Italian and loved how malleable it is. Like pasta, it is one of those dishes that is easily manipulated and once you have the base set, it will take on a variety of flavors, whatever your palate is craving that particular night. As you slowly combine …
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 …
