Wow oh wow am I sorry. I promised you an Inspiration Station post each month and I didn’t hold up to my end of the bargain. Two posts. That’s all I ended up doing. I could blame it on moving and the lack of kitchen space to make the more intricate recipes I like to…

Karina has spent a good amount of time in Philly so she became our tour guide on our recent day trip. After walking around the South Street area, we headed to the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. I couldn’t imagine two more different areas. South Street is super funky with murals covering every building and the most…

On Saturday Matt, Karina, and I took a lil trip to Philly. Why, you ask? Because I was craving a cheesesteak. No, really, why are you going to Philly, you ask again, rolling your eyes. Because I wanted a cheesesteak. That really is the only reason. When I learned that Philadelphia is a little more…

Time again to do something with chicken that will keep me interested in that fair foul. I hadn’t done a stuffed chicken in a while and it seemed like it was time. First I sauteed chopped (not sliced) cremini mushrooms in a little butter and garlic and then mixed them with goat cheese. If you…

When I saw this recipe, I thought it might be a good way to give my tuna fish (which I typically make with just tuna and mayo) a little sophistication. I had to adapt the recipe a bit because although I wanted grown up tuna fish, I can’t help but be picky about what goes in…

I went into this week thinking it would be a return to normal, but it’s turning out to be just as busy as last week! I don’t mind at all though because this week I may be busy but it’s all related to seeing friends I haven’t seen in a while. I’ve enjoyed the short-form,…
