This is the first year that we’ve planted rosemary and it actually thrived! Wohoo! I found a recipe in Great Food Fast…shocking I know that sounded really good. I adapted the recipe just a bit, and it tasted delicious. I served the chicken with grilled zucchini and peppers (also adapted from Great Food Fast) and [...]

Grilled Tuscan Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon
Published by August 27th, 2008 in 4 Stars, Entertaining, Grill, Martha Stewart, Poultry and Sides. 1 CommentBroccoli Parmesan Casserole
Published by August 26th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Sides and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsI had a huge bag of broccoli I just had to use up. I came across a recipe at A Veggie Venture. I thought the kiddos would really like this. They like broccoli and they love cheese, but they were both really tired tonight, and it wasn’t the night to try something new. It was [...]
This recipe comes from the May 2007 issue of Cooking Light. I modified it slightly, namely I omitted the parsley because we didn’t have any and when I went to the grocery store they were all out too. It was good, but nothing great. I thought it needed some more texture, so I added some [...]
Taco Meat 2
Published by August 22nd, 2008 in 3 Stars, Beef, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Kid Approved, Mexican/Southwest/Tex-Mex and Poultry. 0 CommentsTT, our oldest loves taco meat from our local burrito place, so I decided to make tacos last night. I’ve made taco meat before, but I wanted to try something new. I came across a recipe in Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook, and the seasoning reminded me of taco meat, so I adapted that [...]
Vietnamese Steak Sandwiches
Published by August 21st, 2008 in 4 Stars, Asian, Beef, Easy Preparation, Quick and Easy, Sandwich and Sauce. 0 CommentsWhat is one to do with left over flank steak with lime marinade? Why turn the page of Great Food Fast, and there it is…Vietnamese Steak Sandwiches. The only thing I would do differently next time is make more of the sauce, because the sandwich was a bit dry with the sauce amount in the [...]

We went to taste all the yummies, and I fell in love with the lettuce cups. After talking to Martin Yan, he told us the lettuce cup recipe is in his Quick and [...]
Flank Steak with Lime Marinade
Published by August 19th, 2008 in 5 Stars, Asian, Easy Preparation, Entertaining, Family Recipe, Grill, Kid Approved and Martha Stewart. 0 CommentsI adapted this recipe from a recipe in Great Food Fast. I have found the longer you marinate flank steak the better it tastes. (The second time I made this I marinated it for 8 hours, and it was absolutely delicious). I’m sure the steak would still be delicious if you marinate it for the [...]
Crock Pot Lasagna Florentine
Published by August 13th, 2008 in 3 Stars, Crock Pot, Easy Preparation, Family Recipe, Italian, Kid Approved, One Pot and Vegetarian. 1 CommentI’ve never tried making a pasta dish in the crock pot. Today I got creative and made a lasagna. I used the no boil lasagna sheets and made a spinach and ricotta filling (trying to get veggies in wherever I can). Everyone really liked it. I thought the pasta was a bit over cooked, so [...]

The recipe below is my version of a recipe I came across. It was pretty good, and one that I will make again when we are in need of a tasty crock [...]
