I'm an advertising executive's dream. I get suckered into Instagram and Facebook ads all the time. I'll find myself swiping through pictures of things I never knew I needed for hours...oh, wait. I don't need them. It appears an advertisers influence over my purchasing skills is quite potent. The grocery store is no different. I… Continue reading Italian Country Breakfast Bake

Chopped Supreme Taco Salad
It's steaming hot outside. We're now entering the worst part of summer: Post-July-Fourth, sweat-your-makeup off, unwavering sunlight summer days.I've kept the outdoor activities to a minimum the last two weeks. If you catch me outside, it's usually well past when the sun went down or on the cusp of dusk. You wouldn't catch me outside… Continue reading Chopped Supreme Taco Salad
Corn Chip Salad
There's something strange about "salads" in the South. I'm not talking about leafy green salads. I'm talking about the sides that people take to cookouts and parties.

Y'all. It's suffocating outside. The humidity levels are hovering in the 70's.

I feel so… Continue reading Crockpot Beer Cheese Chicken

Portobello, shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, morels...they're all my favorites. They all hold a special place in my heart. Mushrooms are love, mushrooms are life. I've… Continue reading Creamy Brie Mushrooms
Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
My obsession with cheese has reached new heights. I spend more time in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store than any other aisle. I'm constantly inspecting the latest Stiltons, gruyere and emmentalers my cheese monger gets in. I'll try anything at least once. I'm especially fond of the Italian side: fresh mozzarella, shaved… Continue reading Garlic Asiago Cauliflower Rice
Three Cheese Pesto Pizza
Grocery stores have really started to branch out when it comes to their merchandise. When I was a kid you could only find the American staples: canned goods, produce, meat, dairy---nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing exotic to me back then were the fresh fruit roll-ups in the produce section. Now, you have… Continue reading Three Cheese Pesto Pizza
