Greek Salmon with Zucchini and Salty Feta

By |October 31, 2023|Categories: Recipe Reviews|Tags: |

Salmon is one of those dishes I love and could eat every week. My husband and son are never excited about salmon and don’t think they like it – until I make a good one. We were all pretty skeptical about feta cheese on salmon (I have a strict no cheese on fish rule), but the thing I love most about Half Baked Harvest recipes is the way Teighan Gerard combines unexpected ingredients into something magical. I love every almost every ingredient in this recipe (olives? No thanks!), so I took a leap of faith with the Greek Salmon

Thai Peanut Chicken Stir Fry

By |October 25, 2023|Categories: Recipe Reviews|Tags: |

When I see a recipe that’s subtitled “The Stir Fry that Got Me Married,” I’m immediately intrigued. My husband and I are both big fans of Thai food. We also have a 4-year stockpile of peanut butter (our Costco did not have their Kirkland creamy peanut butter for like 6 months one time, and we ran out. Never again.) So I knew the Thai Peanut Stir Fry had to be the first recipe I tried from Erin Clarke’s Well Plated.There is a Thai food restaurant near us that has yummy spring rolls with the most amazing peanut sauce. I’ve been

2023 Gift Guide: For Foodie Kids

I've always believed that getting kids into the kitchen is key to getting them to try new foods and keeping an open mind about trying new things. I mean it hasn't worked with my kid so far - but maybe it will with yours. In the meantime, there's a lot of cute stuff to buy that makes cooking with kids fun. If you've got a foodie kid or budding chef, get ready to get messy in the kitchen with these holiday gifts. Tovla Jr. Knives My son started wanting to chop food around

2023 Gift Guide: For the Busy Mom

By |October 19, 2023|Categories: Gift Guides|

These are all products I use as a busy working mom, so I can attest to their time and sanity saving value. A word of caution if you are considering purchasing any of these as a holiday, anniversary or birthday gift: tread lightly. It’s easy for moms to feel like underappreciated servants. A gift of an appliance doesn’t always translate as something nice for he – it can very easily come across as “Look, honey, a new way for you to do things for everyone else.” Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying don’t buy any of these.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

By |October 12, 2023|Categories: Recipe Reviews|Tags: |

The first hint of cool weather always makes me want to bake cookies. It’s a tradition my college roommate and I had, and now I’ve continued it with my son. His job mostly consists of measuring dry ingredients and taste tasting, but we make a great team (and a huge mess). Normally we opt for regular chocolate chip cookies, but since it’s already October and I’m in full pumpkin spice mode, I knew we had to make Two Peas and Their Pod’s Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies as soon as I saw them in her newsletter. Full Disclosure: Things

Roasted Chicken with Lemon & Thyme

By |October 8, 2023|Categories: Recipe Reviews|Tags: |

Fall can be a weird time in Texas when it comes to meal planning. Everything is pumpkin spice and  I start yearning for the hearty comfort foods of fall – but it’s still 97 degrees outside. Too hot for soups and chilis. Enter Ina Garten’s Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme from Go To Dinners. I have always associated thyme with fall, but paired with lemon, this dish is still light enough to feel right on a warm evening. Since roasting chicken takes time, the first step was to get it in the over. One of

How I Choose Cookbooks

By |September 30, 2023|Categories: Tips & Tricks|

I can't tell you how to buy the best cookbook for you and your family. Oh wait, no. That's exactly what I'm about to do! Just kidding. What I'm actually going to do is share how I choose cookbooks. To be honest, I would buy ALL of the cookbooks if I had enough space to store them and time to really use them all. But because I need space to actually cook in my kitchen, I have to be selective about what I buy. So when I'm flipping through cookbooks on a date night at Barnes & Noble, these
