What I learned in making this dish is that you should not go to Walmart at 10 pm on a Sunday, after the entire town has done their weekend grocery run, and expect them to have chicken breasts. I had one recipe in mind and one shopping list in hand. Chicken breasts aren’t exactly something…

Bacon Risotto
It’s been nearly a year since the last time Nick wrote a blog post for me. It’s been nearly a year since the last time Nick cooked dinner for me (besides grilled meat, of course). Since Nick made me (an awesome) dinner for my birthday last week, he decided to take another stab at blogging!…
Parmesan Herb Almonds

Carrot Cake Pancakes
Cake for breakfast? Yes, please! Running for the First Aid kit first thing in the morning? No, thank you. Grating carrots before your first cup of coffee might be a little dangerous. I may or may not know that from experience. But if you can pull yourself out of that morning haze and be careful,…
