Fajitas are one of my favorite dinners. I had not made them in a while though because Mack had complained that most of the time, chicken fajitas were just disgusting bits of dry chicken that had been over-cooked in water and then poured into tortillas. I never really considered how often chicken fajitas turn out exactly […]
I’ve never made a meatloaf of my own and recently I was in the mood to do one, so I did. Growing up I can’t say I’ve ever had a meatloaf that left me with the desire to eat it again. So I spent a lot of time searching for a recipe that would […]
For the last few weeks, Mack and I have been cooking less on weeknights, and cooking more on weekends. We’ve been making one or two big dinners on Sunday and then eating them throughout the week. This has freed up time in the evenings to exercise, chores, or just relax.

Growing up I can recall many mornings when we had chorizo and eggs for breakfast. I was pretty young then, but I do remember loving chorizo. As I grew up I rarely had it in meals. I think it just never came up as an option or I forgot how much I enjoyed it, but […]
I would just like to start off by saying that I lOVE lasagna. Unfortunately, it usually is a heavy, greasy mush of meats, oily sauce, fatty cheese, and slimy noodles. Not to say that I wouldn’t eat a greasy slice of lasagna on the right occasion, but these days I would much rather have a delicious piece […]
This is hands down one of my favorite dinners. I stole the idea for this dish after my friend, Patty made something similar at a dinner party at her house a few years ago. The recipe is simple, inexpensive, and healthy. It’s also vegetarian, so it’s a good one to make when you’re entertaining no-meat […]
