It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

September 4, 2015 By Katrina

It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives

I love a good salad, but salad isn’t usually what comes to mind when I think of comfort food. Or super satisfying food. Or I’m-totes-craving-that food. This salad, though? Oh man, guys. This is the stuff. This warm chicken salad with roasted potatoes and chives has everything you’d want in a meal: fresh ingredients, a…

Summer Market Risotto

Summer Market Risotto

Ah, summer farmers markets. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning, especially when the weather’s nice and the stands are overflowing with such great stuff. And even if it’s a little too sticky outside to be comfortable, the bounty is usually worth it. No, it’s always worth it. I’d walk…

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms

Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms                     

The whole Northeast is prepping for a gigantic wallop of a snowstorm, so, naturally, Target was a madhouse yesterday. Think holiday-sized crowds grabbing at end caps filled with water and snack foods (Super Bowl fare works well in blizzards, too, FYI), filling baskets with enough flashlights and peanut butter to last well into next week….

Easy Weeknight Dinners: Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Tacos

Easy Weeknight Dinners: Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Tacos

True confession: Our Christmas tree is still up. Make that trees. As much as I realize the time is nigh (past nigh?), I just can’t let the holidays go. Have you ever seen your house look as pretty as it does when it’s filled with twinkle lights? I know it’s about time I pack those…

Dinner in a pinch, made to impress! Puff pastry with ham & Gruyère

Dinner in a pinch, made to impress! Puff pastry with ham & Gruyère

This time of year is so, so hectic (though we probably always feel like our lives are crazy busy, right?). When I think of an easy fall dinner, I often base its viability on a simple pre-trick-or-treating test. Basically, is it something that could be easily made and quickly served to a family (friends included!)…

Every grill has its day: Chopped barbecue chicken salad

Every grill has its day: Chopped barbecue chicken salad

When we lived in Missouri, Jared and I had a beast of a grill that took up about a third of the deck space at the back of our small apartment. It sat largely unused for a good five months of the year, but once the weather warmed up enough for Jared to remove his…

Easy breezy summer salad: Avoca roasted peppers and chickpeas

Easy breezy summer salad: Avoca roasted peppers and chickpeas

Like anything worth its while, blogging is one of those adventures that takes time, work and tinkering to really find your groove and get things exactly how you like them. Of course, then another few months go by, and you’ve changed your mind entirely. It’s the mark of any creative endeavor I suppose. Switcheroos and…

For diners big and small: Tomato mac & cheese

For diners big and small: Tomato mac & cheese

By the time Beany turned 1, with a mouth full of teeth and a newfound interest in whatever sat on the plate of the person next to her, she’d pretty much lost all interest in the purees and baby foods we’d come to rely on as quick fixes for a hungry girl. Gradually, she started…

Cinco de Mayo: Vegetarian enchiladas

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Not that anyone ever needs an excuse to eat Mexican food (it’s a mega favorite among the people in this house, Beany included), but today’s an especially great day for it, don’t you think? We’ve been traveling a bit lately and are happy to have landed back in North Carolina, so…

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

I love balsamic vinegar. Like, really love it. I add it to pasta, salad, rice, almost any savory dish that seems a little lacking in flavor. And I add it in quantities that would probably make most people shudder. Jared certainly likes it well enough, too, but any time I’m cooking and he sees me…
