Jalapeño Cilantro Pesto Pasta

I have one word for little piece of pasta heaven. Mutha F’ing Bingo. OK so, that’s 3 words, but let’s get real, who’s counting when you have a comforting bowl of pesto pasta staring you in the face? Bygone is the era when pesto can only be made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive [...]

So there I was…..in my kitchen….prepped with my cutting board and sharpened chef’s knife. As my knife came down and chopped the head of broccoli into two…..a familiar song popped into my head. Dana Carvy’s” Choppin Broccoli” Sing it with me now!!!!! “And my lady, she went downtown She bought some ber-ra-ccoli She Brought it [...]

Spaghetti with Turkey-Pesto Meatballs

smunch — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 11:00:21 +0000

Ahhhhh, spaghetti and meatballs are so comforting on a cold winter night (or anytime really). The smell of pasta cooking brings me piece of mind, I simply love….and crave it. This recipe is fantastic because there is very little prep and dinner can be on the table within 40 minutes (or less). My finance and [...]

Single Serving Lasagna

smunch — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:07:51 +0000

If Kieran ever cheats on me it will be with lasagna. After I make him a big cheesy batch of lasagna goodness, I often see him lovingly gazing into the fridge at the leftovers. Once I SWEAR I overheard him whispering sweet nothings to the leftover lasagna, but he denies it…..whatever…..I know what I heard. [...]

Chicken-Veggie Spaghetti Explosion

When it’s cold outside, nothing is more comforting to me then a plate of spaghetti. At the end this week, I had leftover vegetables from other recipes, chilling out in the fridge, almost about to expire. I hate letting food go to waste, so I threw together a quick pasta meal. Tomato based pasta sauces [...]

Man oh man….what an amazing Labor Day weekend! Kieran’s family lives in Rhode Island, so we flew out to spend time with them. A lot of people I know hate going to the airport…not me…I love it!
