I’ve come to the conclusion that casseroles just do not photograph well. The Chicken Cordon Casserole tasted a lot better than it looks. This actually came together by cleaning out the fridge a little bit. Well, that & this is for sure the lazy girl’s version of a Chicken Cordon Bleu. I just wanted to [...]

This recipe comes from our Port Aransas cookbook that we got down in Port A when we got married. We’ve been back a handful of times since then and enjoy it each and every time. I got the cookbook out because I started thinking about Port A again since we started to plan a trip [...]

I’ve joined a Fall recipe swap and received this recipe in my email this morning. I only made one ingredient change in the recipe since we don’t really like raisins, I added toasted walnuts instead.
This was delicious. It made the house smell like fall and tastes like the perfect combination of everything you think about [...]

I was craving French Onion soup last week, and since it’s finally started to get a little more Fall-like in the evenings around here, I figured I could make a nice tasty Fall Soup. French Onion Soup is pretty easy to make and the way we finish it, you don’t need to have the fancy [...]

I wanted something easy tonight since I had lots of random things to do around the house. I’ve had this recipe starred in my Google reader for awhile now. This comes from Clara @ iheartfoodforthought.
I scaled her recipe down to an 8 x 8 baking dish since it’s just Cancy & I. Plus this [...]

We tried this recipe tonight and turned out great. There’s a lot going on in this recipe so it’s [...]

I have had this recipe from Polly stored in my Google Reader forever. This originally is a Giada de Laurentiis recipe. I love balsamic vinegar so this was perfect. I made it this time using chicken thighs, but I think this would be even better using boneless/skinless chicken breasts.
Anyway the vinegar, Dijon, lemon zest, & [...]
