Happy Friday! Here’s a quick and easy, but super delicious one! One of the things in my Mom’s ingredient goodie box was a can of French’s french fried onions. I don’t usually use the recipes on food packages, but I really had no idea what to do with french fried onions aside from making green bean casserole….

Aimee’s Double Lemon Bars
When I lived in Daytona Beach, Florida, my friend (and roommate when I lived in Paris) Aimee came to visit me. I had just started dating Nick, and decided to have him and some of his friends over for dinner, margaritas and a little Apples to Apples. I always love entertaining, but the real reason for…
Ravioli and Homemade Bolognese
I often crave sugar. I sometimes crave pizza… or peanut butter… or ice cream. And every once in a while, I crave a big ole glass of a good red wine. It happened late last week, and I knew right away that Friday night dinner would have to be something wine-friendly. In my opinion, there…
Chinese Chicken Salad
One of the best things about moving around a lot is meeting lots of new friends! Living on a military base is a bit like being in college again, especially when, like me, you work there, too! There’s really no reason to leave “campus”. Home is here, work is here, the gym is here, the…
Sweet and Sour Chicken
A week or so ago, Nick decided that he was getting sick of sandwiches for lunch, and wanted to buy some frozen rice bowls to take to work. Frozen meals? Uhm, I don’t think so. Sometimes we get to the register at the grocery store, and as I’m unloading the cart, I find packages of…

… or, Thai Coconut Chicken Stew. So, this recipe was kind of a dud. It wasn’t bad at all… in fact, it was quite tasty. But it did not taste at all like what it was supposed to taste like. I used this recipe for Green Curry Veggies, and added chicken for the meatatarian. But……
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect texture– crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle. The chocolate chips are the perfect compliment to the salty peanut butter! If you have even the tiniest lack of self control, do not make these. Seriously. When you’re curled up in a ball on…
Southern Banana Pudding
I sometimes say that I lived in the South for 2 years. I think it might be debatable whether or not Florida is really considered the true South. In the 2 years I lived there, I only met a very small handful of people who were actually born and raised in Florida. I met people…
