Trying to change up the protein intake a bit and still unsure of where to get the best fresh fish, we opted for this tuna casserole. [Original recipe here] We used whole grain dijon and we really thought that added some nice texture and flavor. Other than that, we stuck pretty closely with the recipe…
sweet potato, kale and onion pizza
This was yummy and suuuuper filling (seriously, we ate half as much as we usually eat). As usual, we used Trader Joe’s wheat pizza crust and subbed in mozzarella cheese. With this pizza in particular, we would highly recommend giving the crust a bit of a pre-bake before adding the toppings because they’re so thick…
kale and mushroom pizza
We love pizzas. They’re quick, easy, pretty inexpensive if you make your own and just taste yummy… and we figure if they have lots of veggies and are on a wheat crust they can’t be too bad. We’ll be sharing new recipes as we try them. First up is one of our favorites–kale and mushroom….
chicken-and-veggie stir-fry
What’s that? You’re freaking out that there were two non-recipe posts back to back? I know. Fear not, for this post features food. We’re big on the stir-frys… They’re fairly simple (as long as you remember to prep everything before you start cooking), require little clean-up (just a cutting board, knife and one skillet, well,…
lemony broccoli rabe pasta
New month means another Southern Living and new recipes to try! You can find an online version of the recipe here. You may notice our photos look nothing like the recipe. That, friends, is because we’re not so great at reading everything through and melted the goat cheese in instead of crumbling it on top…
pork chop suey
we’ve made this recipe twice… well, actually, we’ve made something similar based on ingredients we had (savannah isn’t really big on measuring too closely or “cooking inside the lines” i guess you could call it–sometimes things turn out okay, sometimes they don’t!). our version follows: INGREDIENTS 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth (changed from chicken) 3…
beef and brussels sprouts stir fry
A couple of nights ago, we decided to make the Beef and Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry that was in the January issue of Southern Living. savannah’s mom gave her a subscription this year and we’re so excited to try new things out each month. You can also find the recipe here. It’s a really simple…
grillin’
Sometime back in September, our grill tank ran out of propane. Because we’d hoped we’d be moving across the country and we knew we’d be super busy finishing up thesis stuff and wedding planning, we decided not to refill the tank for the time being. Last weekend, we finally purchased a new tank, full of…
linguine
Some time ago, savannah had found this recipe for Linguine with Toasted Almonds, Parsley, and Lemon and she finally got around to making it. However, because we’re having fun finding new favorite buys at our new stores (we miss HEB terribly, but we’re quickly learning to like Trader Joe’s–more on that later), because of what…
