Nick and I spent this past weekend in Pensacola. Obviously no trip to Pensacola is complete without a trip to our favorite fish market. I needed some beach in my life in a major way. Unfortunately, Nick gets really bored at the beach. He lasted all of 1.5 hours. But… that was probably a blessing…

Crock Pot Chicken Curry
I normally don’t believe in signs. Unless they are really, really obvious. I’ve had this recipe ready to blog since last weekend, but I’ve been a complete waste of life this week. A crippled one. Tuesday morning, Nick had to get up early. Normally when he gets up early I roll over, take it as…
White Chicken Lasagna with Pumpkin and Spinach
Lately, we’ve been busy bees and weeknight cooking hasn’t happened too frequently. To make up for it, I usually spend the majority of my Sunday in the kitchen, but by the time Wednesday rolls around, we’re sick of the weekend leftovers. Last weekend it dawned on me that I could do all the prep for…
Chubby Hubby Truffles
There are few things in this world better than chocolate and peanut butter. Chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels might just be one of them. Hailing from the Northeast, I grew up thinking (correctly) that Ben & Jerry’s was just about the best ice cream in the world. Especially when it comes to kooky flavor combinations,…
Corn and Roasted Jalapeno Hummus
I was quite the busy bee in the kitchen this weekend! Nick left me for Virginia, so it was just me, the animals, and my lovely kitchen. It was technically a trip for “work,” but I don’t think he did too much working. His job has some fun perks and one of them is getting…
Hot & Sour Soup
Who gets a cold in the middle of a 90 degree week? This girl, apparently. I can hardly remember the last time I had a cold, nevermind the last time I had a please-just-kill-me-now-and-put-me-out-of-my-misery kind of cold. I blame 4 days of partying on vacation followed by 12 hours of traveling in enclosed spaces. In…
Crock Pot Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken
The Crock Pot is back in action and this is a good one! I mean, could anything slow cooked in wine for 6 hours really be bad? Wine makes everything better! There were tons of delicious flavors going on in this dish, and the chicken was super tender and just fell off the bone. The…
Lemon Dewberry Muffins
Have you ever heard of a dewberry? If you aren’t from Texas, Mississippi or some other super Southern state, you probably haven’t. Until a couple months ago, I hadn’t either. One day, while out on a run, Nick spotted a thorny plant reminiscent of a blackberry bush, with tiny red berries on it. How he…
