Steak & Veggie Rice Bowls

2021-12-12T17:19:26-06:00

When we order Chipotle, my daughter gets a bowl of just rice and meat. But Chioptle still charges the same as if it has every ingredient in the bowl. Not worth it! I figured I could do better for cheaper and sneak a veggie in there as a bonus. This recipe is the result [...]

Salami Boats

2018-05-19T18:07:06-05:00

My husband and I found this sandwich at a deli near the hospital where our kids were born. After every check-up before the "big day", we'd head to this place for lunch. The "salami boat" listed on the menu board sounded too delicious and too strange not to try. It became a favorite both [...]

Arugula salad with toasted pistachios

2018-02-27T07:54:31-06:00

I'm always in search of a good salad, and I prefer one with a lot of bits and pieces. Starting with a generous serving of arugula, I added shredded carrots, toasted pistachios (chopped into bits to make sure they make it into every bite), shaved asiago, sea salt (don't by shy), olive oil and [...]

Robbie’s Mac and Cheese

2019-10-01T15:51:04-05:00

Mac and cheese is heaven in a bowl to me, except when it comes out of a box and involves powder. I have been in search of the combination that makes you close your eyes and sigh when you take a bite. Last winter I finally found the cheese that would change everything — Prairie Breeze aged [...]

The Best Ricotta You’ve Ever Had

2022-11-20T16:19:09-06:00

A few years ago we hosted an Italian dinner as part of a school fundraiser and I wanted to make fresh mozzarella. After some research it turned out to more trouble then it was worth. I would need to find unpasteurized milk and order some rennet. More research and fresh ricotta looked like an easy [...]
