I recently found this recipe for a cheesesteak style meal, all made in a cast iron skillet. I was intrigued by the one-pan method and the use of lean ground beef instead of thinly sliced sirloin. Sure, that makes it healthy(er), but it also makes it way easier because you don’t have to try and get the…

This meal is one of those Trader Joe’s hacks. Or one of those [insert grocery store name here] hacks, for that matter. Simply heat up some creamy tomato soup on the stove. While that’s warming, cook up some tortellini. While both of those are getting ready, saute some sliced button mushrooms in a separate pan. Once…

This recipe is so simple that I was able to provide all details in the caption of an Instagram. And it’s really similar to some recipes I’ve posted before, like this one and this one. But I liked it so much that I’m risking repetitiveness and posting it here on the good ol bloggity blog.…

Wow. It’s been forever since I’ve done one of these posts. Hopefully it was worth the wait. The Dish: No fail, every time I’m eating Thai food (or even thinking about eating Thai food) I say that line “Jack talk Thai” from Meet The Parents. And then giggle to myself because for some reason I…

While 1 cup of macaroni cooked up, I sauteed 2 slices of bacon (chopped) in a pan. Next I added half of a chopped yellow onion and one clove of garlic…

This recipe not only takes advantage of the seasonal veggie, but also of the cast iron skillet, which makes this a one-pot dish, perfect for the no-fuss type of cooking I like to do in 90 degree…

I’ve discovered a pretty great sandwich combo: roast beef + cream cheese + chives. I used these three ingredients to make rollups for lunch the other day and liked it so much I decided to make it a legit sandwich later in the week. Spread 1-2 soup spoons of light cream cheese on a whole wheat…

It’s pizza, as a burrito. Nothing bad about that. This dish of my own design sounds strange – so much so that Albert wasn’t sold on it and chose to eat the previous night’s leftovers instead – but it tastes so good. Once Albert smelled it and saw me eating it, he regretted his decision…

Just because I had the day off on Friday doesn’t mean I was going to order Seamless for lunch. I knew I’d be spending a good bit of money over the weekend, so there was no need to pay for lunch on what was still technically a weekday. I took advantage of some leftovers and…

Though scallops sound ambitious, they’re actually the best thing to make when you’re in need of a quick and easy weeknight meal. They take almost zero time to cook and require very little seasoning so if you can find them on sale, grab em! Start by cooking your asparagus (one bunch should cover three people).…
