I don’t know about you all, but October has been absolutely insane for me. Although from the looks of things, I should probably adjust to the fact things are going to stay that way. We’ve finally started clinical practice in my nursing program, and that’s very exciting for me. It’s why I went to nursing [...]

Black Bean and Cheese Enchiladas… and a Pantry Makeover
Friday was one of those days where I came home and everything, absolutely everything, seemed disorganized, cluttered and messy to me. I immediately attacked the pantry. I actually consider myself a pretty organized person. I love lists, schedules, plans of all kinds, but my kitchen is a completely different story. My pantry especially. It’s deep, [...]

Cheddar Corn Chowder
We’ve been eating this chowder all week, so I can’t believe I’ve waited until now to tell you about it. Let’s get one thing straight. This is an Ina Garten recipe, definitely not for the faint of heart. That being said, I did what I could to make it something I felt comfortable eating for [...]

Ellie Krieger’s Macaroni and 4 Cheeses
Hey folks. It’s been a few days. I’m been busy getting ready for school, preparing for my last day at work (August 4th) and cooking a ton. My current focus has been preparing some extra meals that freeze well to use when school starts. I know myself, and even though I like to cook, I [...]

I can’t give up the guac
I finished my final reflection paper for my last class this afternoon and submitted it. I’m completely done with the semester! I’m taking one class over the summer, an online dosage calculations class, but I’m not expecting it to be terribly time-consuming. I feel so much calmer now that I know I can [...]

Super Spinach Lasagna
Making a dinner that would provide a ton of leftovers seemed like the perfect way to get a jump start on the week. I love pasta of all kinds, especially lasagna. Brent’s usually less enthused, but he’s always a good sport. Because I was planning on using the leftover lasagna as our lunches for the [...]

Spinach Mac & Cheese
This week’s BSI Contest ingredient is spinach. I was pretty excited, because I feel like, although I’m very familiar with spinach, it is so versatile and something new can always be done with it!
I was thinking all week that sometime this weekend I wanted some mac & cheese. It is one of my absolute favorite [...]

Friday Night Fiesta!
Tonight’s dinner, (I swear it was a real dinner even though it totally looks like junk food), was awesome! Last week when I was making the grocery list, I asked Brent what he wanted for dinner and he said “Nachos!” I’m sure he was joking a little bit, but it sounded good to me so [...]

Like Nachos… sort of
Last night’s dinner was a Mexican lasagna of sorts. It was based on this recipe for Black Bean and Tortilla Bake. I made a few modifications, as usual, out of convenience. I used 8 corn tortillas, not 12, and mine was spread out in two layers, not 3, in a larger pan. I added [...]

Full Disclosure
I’d been trying to figure out a delightfully easy way to say this, but I haven’t come up with one, so I guess I’ll just go ahead and say it. I’m not actually the culinary goddess I’m made myself out to be; not even a little bit. Case in point: last night’s Eggplant Parmesan.
It looks [...]
