Dinner on the fly inspired this yummy dish. Pasta is the easiest thing to whip up and so comforting. I had some leftover grilled chicken and just went from there pulling ingredients out of the fridge until this beauty was born.

Sunday after Girls Camp left me with a semi-empty fridge and two very hungry people. Thankfully I have several staples that I can draw upon and a quick glance in the fridge told me I needed to use up some veggies, and I only had 2 to choose from!
I used store bought pesto which [...]

While perusing fellow blogger’s food sites, I came across a nice looking recipe from Picky Palate. (Thanks for the inspiration Jenny!) The problem that presented itself to me as I was gathering the goods to make the dish tonight was that I was missing several ingredients. No matter, I thought to myself, I will [...]

Difficulty: Moderate (Due to time) Serves 6
This dish is sooo yummy and comforting. Classic Sunday meal when you have more time or if you don’t mind the 40 minutes to an hour required then dish it up on any weekday. Stroganoff classically has mushrooms in it, which my husband despises and I love. So I [...]

I asked Phil what he wanted for dinner last night. I was planning on not cooking at all since I was still full from lunch or just scrummaging around to satisfy his hunger, nothing spectacular planned. He threw me a curve ball and wanted pasta salad. He always does this when it starts getting [...]

From Cooking Light
This was dinner last night for Phil & I, I halved the recipe since there are just the 2 of us. I burnt my finger draining the pasta and was a little distracted with the fire-like feeling as I was trying to finish the sauce, so my eggs cooked. But it was [...]

Note: You must use the cheeses specified to get the best flavor. Both fontina and smoked mozzarella are found in the specialty cheese case in the deli section of your grocery store. I used presliced fontina and then finely chopped it, still worked great!
2 red peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch [...]
