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…

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…

My beau was concerned we needed one more side dish on our 4th of July spread and was really feelin a pasta salad. I was not so convinced.

After ordering a little too much Mexican, I had a some rice and black beans left over, along with some esquites (that spicy corn with mayo and cotija). I decided to turn it into a full meal with a few simple additions that I could pick up on my way home from work. This easy…

I’m not a fan of cooked carrots – too sweet and mushy…but then I saw these gorgeous tri-color guys and couldn’t resist buying them. I realized if I roasted them myself, I could ensure they would be on the firmer side. Problem: solved. After shaving the carrots, I drizzled them with olive oil and dusted…
