We've been imbibing a bit too much since the pandemic began. I'm not usually one to drink very much, if at all, but lately the White Claw and wine has been calling to me. I guess it's okay since the world is ending or whatever, right? I still keep it to the weekends and I… Continue reading Wine Drunk Pasta

Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be spending the evening at work and then will probably ring in the new year in bed, asleep. Exciting, I know. I've just never been the NYE-type person. I could honesty care less about the New Year. One more circulation around the sun? Great. I don't need a party to… Continue reading Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara
Mediterranean Orzo Salad
I feel like I've been on a weeklong food binger. The holidays are rough, really rough. There's cookies and candies and pies and turkey and stuffing galore. Now is the time to start getting through the end of the leftovers and then rebooting the system. I've got to get some more greens and roughage in… Continue reading Mediterranean Orzo Salad
Ham & Bow Tie Bake
I'm still up to my eyeballs in ham. I made that crockpot beer ham a few weeks ago and have turned it into three different dishes---but I still have ham leftover. And that was a small, 3 pound ham, too! If you made a ham for Thanksgiving, you're probably swimming in ham slices as well.… Continue reading Ham & Bow Tie Bake
Tortellini Alfredo Bake
Sometimes you just need a break. A moment to catch your breath. A few minutes to collect your thoughts. A night of peaceful sleep. An evening of lounging on the couch. A homemade dinner every day of the week is not in the cards for most of us. I meal prep on Sundays, and even… Continue reading Tortellini Alfredo Bake
Easy Skillet Chili Mac
I'm wiped, and it's only Tuesday. I pumped up the incline on my treadmill this morning and sweat BUCKETS. Literally buckets were pouring off of me. I don't know why I really wanted to push it to the max this morning---maybe because I'm working all week? Literally. I work 7 days this week! It's okay… Continue reading Easy Skillet Chili Mac
Sloppy Joe Pasta
A break would be nice. A long, extended weekend would be wonderful right now. A day to recoup, exhale, and relax. I think just about everyone could use that. I've been knees-deep in work lately. Severe weather season is slowly dragging to a close. By June 1st, we usually are out of the woods. June… Continue reading Sloppy Joe Pasta
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
Chicken Marsala Orzo
After a weekend away from my apartment, I'm back. We had to pack up the cats and a few belongings while our complex redid our kitchen and bathroom, so I wasn't able to get my meal prepping done this weekend like I usually do. I was, however, able to make one thing to take with… Continue reading Chicken Marsala Orzo
Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
I've come a long way since trying my first zucchini noodle. In 2016, I made a chow mein with them for the first time. I cooked the zucchini too much then and ended up with a floppy zucchini noodle. The dish still tasted okay, but the texture threw me for a loop. Fast forward to… Continue reading Creamy Herb & Shrimp Pasta
