Of course you could use any seafood you’d like-…

Beef Stew

October 30, 2012
Beef Stew

Growing up, I was one of many children. A stew was my mom’s best friend when it came to making dinner. Let’s face it, what’s easier than throwing things into a pot and letting it do its thing all day?  If you are looking to feed an army (or to have leftovers for a few days) making a stew, in this case beef stew, is perfect.

Fall Sangria

October 22, 2012

A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.”  It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country.  But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City.  Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants  bars, and even at…

Spinach & Mushroom Pizza (Vegetarian Special)

October 2, 2012

As we set out on our quest for some more vegetarian-friendly recipes (as requested by Vildana – don’t worry we’re figuring out that delicious dish), we decided to revisit one of our favorites. Pizza!

Calzones

October 1, 2012
Calzone

We needed something cheesy, saucy, and warm, so we made calzones. They are very easy to make, and the only preparation is to make or take out that pizza dough from the freezer the night before or if made, a few hours ahead of time to let the dough rise. Calzones will offer a warm comfort from the cool nights ahead. [recipe] Calzones Pizza dough (Homemade or bought) Handful of…

September 27, 2012

Tuesday night, I may have screwed up a really good recipe for these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles, and may might have become very angry with the dessert gods – I needed to cool off and try it again.  I redeemed myself last night by hashing out the recipe once more by switching some things up, and yes, reading the directions a bit more carefully.  NOTE: my cross outs below are…
