I love Italian food and I love seafood! Especially shrimp! So what could be better than to combine my two great loves into one perfect amazing dish?
Shrimp Scampi with Linguine is just that dish! It’s easy to make, yet so elegant you can serve it for a dinner party. It’s an impressive dish without a lot of fuss. Which is good! Because, if you have kids around, you have enough “fussing” going on! Am I right, or am I right?!!!
Whats Cooking
As a food blogger I see hundreds of new recipes every week. It’s just part of the job, and one I absolutely enjoy. I love seeing what other bloggers are busy creating in their kitchens. Last week I spotted this luscious looking dish! Everything about it looked amazing! From the crispy golden pan seared chicken thighs (I love the flavor of chicken thighs) to the scrumptious sweet honey garlic sauce! The word “Easy” was thrown in for added enticement and I took the bait! I’m SO glad I did! You will be too! This is one amazingly easy, flavorful, and inexpensive dish! You have got to try this one friends! Trust me. You do don’t ya?

I love everything about this time of year! You know… When you can feel the tickle of spring right around the corner. We’ve had two days of glorious warmer weather and sunshine. The markets are starting to fill with fresh berries of every kind! Another shout out to spring! So to celebrate this impending season of sunshine, and all those berries… I’m sharing my recipe for Old Fashioned Blueberry Muffins! They are the perfect prelude to tulips, pastels, bunnies, colored eggs, and SUNSHINE!!! Not to mention…they’re just downright delicious!
I love a recipe that can be made into two different meals. Both equally delicious. Life is crazy busy so if I can get two meals out of one recipe I’m all in! How about you?
These stuffed shells bounce off the back of my recipe for Crock Pot Meatballs With Sauce. One night you can have meatball subs or spaghetti and meatballs, the other these amazing cheese stuffed shells, covered in sauce with tender Parmesan and beef meatballs. It’s the perfect dish to add your busy weeknight meal plan!
Looking for one more spectacular food item for this weekends BIG game? How about jalapeno poppers! I love this recipe for grilled bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeno peppers! They are AMAZING!!! Three simple ingredients and 16 minutes and you’ll be swimming in appetizer heaven! Whose playing again….lol
I love food! All food…but I really love comfort food! I know… it’s a word that’s tossed around a lot in the blogging world, but in all fairness, I have to say that the majority of foods fill a need. For some it’s comfort, for others happiness, joy, sorrow, sadness, or stress. I mean food feeds our emotions, as well as our bellies! If it didn’t there wouldn’t be so many foodies out there all looking for that one optimal dish.
One of my favorite “comfort” foods is Chicken Pot Pie. Maybe it’s the memories of those little frozen pies by banquet when I was kid, or maybe it’s because the combination of ingredients is like Thanksgiving in a pie shell? Whatever the reason, it’s still a favorite. I spent years looking for the perfect recipe and then just decided to make my own. I wanted one loaded with “the good stuff”! Lots of meat, vegetables, and a creamy gravy, all packed inside the perfect flaky crust. I hope you’ll agree…this pot pie is the perfect “comfort food”!
Ever crave chocolate so bad you might look like a crazed woman turning into Mr. Hyde’s wife? Well don’t worry…I’ve got the cure. Let’s tame the beast with this glorious cake. It is my ALL TIME favorite chocolate cake. A statement I don’t make lightly! I stumbled onto this cake years ago, and no matter how many other chocolate cake recipes I try… they just don’t compare. Nothing can… and nothing ever will. This chocolate cake is everything you’d expect from it’s name! It’s just Too Much!
Cold enough out there for you? Craving a hot warm hearty bowl of Soup? One that is more than just a bowl of soup, a meal? I’ve got just the recipe! It’s chocked full of beef, noodles, rich Italian broth, and topped with cheese and fresh basil. This deliciously rich and flavorful Italian Beefy Noodle Soup is easy to make. It’s the perfect winter meal. Throw in a side of garlic Parmesan bread sticks for dunking and it’s over the top Fab!
It’s playoff time folks! That means GREAT eats with no guilt! Love wings, but love a great sandwich too? How about if we combine the two and have this mouth-watering Buffalo Bleu Cheese Chicken Sandwich! My husband L.O.V.E.D. this sandwich so much he had a second one! Wowza! It’s juicy and tender and best of all…packed with flavor!
