It's been a fun, boring, adventurous and relaxing weekend. I took Thursday and Friday off so my weekend was extended by two days. We're about to go into a ratings month at work and I like to have downtime before the big stress begins. I did nothing on Thursday but bingewatch Grey's Anatomy and vacuum… Continue reading Copycat Olive Garden Salad

Portuguese Caldo Verde
One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast when I was a kid was Eggo waffles with peanut butter and syrup. I would slather the peanut butter on the golden, crispy waffles so it filled almost every hole. You'd get a mouthful or peanut butter in every bite that way. Drizzle a bunch of… Continue reading Portuguese Caldo Verde
Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd.

My grocery store constantly stocks the shelves with local and small-business-made items. I can find different types of Asian noodles there with ease. But my favorite find so far is probably the… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich
Garlic Chicken & Spinach
One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is my silver fish. No, not the bug you find under boxes in your garage. I literally have a silver fish that sits on my sink. What's it used for? Getting terrible smells off your fingers. I'm talking garlic and onion smells. It sticks to your fingers, especially if… Continue reading Garlic Chicken & Spinach
