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…

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…

By the end of the long Labor Day weekend, I was in a weird place when it came to supper. It was time to get back into a routine with a normal home cooked meal, but it was a hot summer day and I didn’t really feel like being stuck cooking in a hot kitchen. I…

My beau is seriously into swordfish lately. He requests it regularly, and when he heard there was some in the freezer on Sunday night, he voluntarily took it out to thaw. He’s not usually one to get his hands dirty with raw food, but seeing his enthusiasm, I was happy to cook it for him…

Trader Joe’s turkey meatballs are my weekday mealtime savior. Bless you, Trader Joe’s meatballs and your quick cooking ways. After loving this wrap, I decided to try a new version. Like the other wrap, it’s got a Mediterranean feel, but more crunch and even more Mediterranean-y, thanks to our good friend tahini. In the five…

I’m so excited to head to Savannah tomorrow night! While my last trip home was lightning quick, this one will be a nice 5-night vacay. This time, my beau will be joining me, which will make the trip even nicer. I’m also happy to squeeze in a night out with a friend before leaving town –…

This one’s for all my gluten free vegetarian friends out there. Or just people who like delicious things. I recently bought some interesting looking pasta made from black beans at Trader Joe’s. The problem was, I decided I wanted to incorporate it into my supper very last minute and didn’t really have any ingredients to make…
