Honey Cumin Roasted Fall Vegetables

GUYS. This here is my love. As sad as that may be, it’s da truf. Gosh, I’ve missed being myself on this blog and being able to write things such as “da truf.”Sorry if it’s a little much. But not really.   Roasting vegetables is pretty much one of my favorite hobbies (laugh if you […]

Pumpkin Baked French Toast

Second pumpkin breakfast item?  It’s officially Fall.  As if you couldn’t tell because, obvi, it’s only, like… 85 degrees outside. Totes Fall.  It has been raining here, however, so at least I can look outside and pretend the cold temps are among us. And and AND I can eat like it, too. If I could, […]

Creamy Polenta with Worcestershire Wine Chicken & Caramelized Butternut Squash

Somethin’ about these long titles, man. Pretty sure there’s a direct correlation between the recipe title length and the taste. It’s true at least for this; I mean, really. Slightly-sweet Polenta (for Southerners, yellow grits). Chicken tenderloins marinated in White Wine and Worcestershire. Caramelized Butternut Squash. Juicy Roasted Tomatoes. Nutty Gruyere Cheese and Parsley. Those […]

Brussels Sprout & Sweet Potato Saute

I know what you’re thinking. Brussels sprouts??? Why?!  I’m a mind-reader like that. But these are no ordinary brussels sprouts. There are sweet potatoes involved. Also BACON.  If there are any vegetarians out there who read my blog, I apologize for my inability to avoid adding bacon to dishes that could be vegetarian (or vegan). […]

Pumpkin Pecan Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Glaze

HAPPY AUTUMN, EVERYONE!!! I’ve been dreaming up this recipe for months now, awaiting this day on pins and needles AND IT IS FINALLY HERE. I know that this is the second breakfast recipe in a row; I know this. You can hate me if you want. But (and read this in your best Chandler Bing […]

Skillet Corn and Andouille Kale Salad

I hate to disappoint you, but if you haven’t been able to tell by now,I’m your typical salad-sandwich-soup girl for lunch.Typical, typical, typical. The good thing about my deli-style lunches is thatthere are so many different ways to do it. And I think I’m pretty inventive with mine, no? Like this salad. Oh. My. Spicy […]

Baked Tomato Basil Chicken with Sweet Corn Risotto

Swim practice has me craving ALL. THE. CARBZ. I never noticed just how much truth there was to the whole “energy” thing until now. So it’s a good thing, I guess, that I made this dish this week. Not that any of it lasted all week. Nope.  We put it all away rather quickly. Because […]

Skillet Beach Shrimp with Sauteed Veggies and Rice

Happy Friday, everyone! Before I share with you this simple, delicious, summery (WAH summer) shrimp dish,here’s another round of Bloggity Business. 1. I don’t remember if I told you this or not,but I “guest posted” for my philosophy teacher at Governor’s school.We were all required to write about macrowikinomics as our final assignment.Starting last Thursday, […]

Blackened Catfish with Sweet Corn Maque Choux

Here we go again with the corn. Maybe I’m overdoing it- you know, the whole corn thing. Don’t worry; summer’s nearly over,which means that with the end of corn season… it’s PUMPKIN TIME. Guys, I’m more obsessed with that stuff than corn.Last week I bought 5 cans of it at Kroger because it was over […]

Marinated Vegetable Salad

And the health food craze continues! I laughed as I typed that sentence because this box of pralines and Iare currently having a staring competition. Hey, it’s all about the balance. But seriously, though, these marinated vegetables… they’re all the things. All the things plus artichoke hearts. Because I don’t particularly care for those. But […]
