Brittany's PantryFlank Steak W/Tangy Sauce & Sisters
“I think this is my favorite meal,” said my sister, Hannah, as she inhaled the plate you see above. I mentioned earlier that my youngest sister was here to run a half-marathon, but she also came back through here on her way to the east coast for work. She stayed a few…
Sweet Potato Salad W/Vinaigrette
Have you ever made a minor change in something in your life and then thought, why didn’t I do this before? Like switching from vegetable oil to canola oil. Or growing a garden. Or ditching the use of lip liner. That is what this recipe was for me. I had cut out…
Root Beer Baked Beans
The above picture is a little bowl of hearty goodness. Even if you are not a baked beans fan, this recipe is a standout dish that you will want to make frequently. It has already been added to my list of summer menus, and I have plans to bring it as a side…
Salmon Nicoise
It isn’t you. Do not be alarmed. Don’t bother to rub your eyes and blink rapidly. What you are seeing is real. This is most definitely not an autumnal dish. I am slightly embarrassed to even post this right now as it uses several ingredients that aren’t exactly in season and can be hard…
The BEST Barbecue Chicken
I’m not going to be the one to say it. Don’t worry. You won’t here it from me. No sir! I’m not going to be the one who tells you that these summer days, with all the heat and humidity, are quickly dwindling down to just a few precious weekends. I won’t be hinting to you…
Sweet & Tangy Ribs
I always love the days leading up to a holiday weekend. Most people have some extra time off and are happy and excited and full of anticipation for special plans. My house is no exception and when it comes to the fourth of July, we get especially giddy! Our town spends three…
Cheeze-It Chicken
Yup! Its a bright orange dinner. Years ago, as I was paging through the now extinct magazine, Gourmet, I came across a recipe that consisted of brushing chicken with mustard and dredging it in crushed Cheez-It crackers. There was more to the recipe-I think spinach might have been involved somehow-but those three…
Speedy Glazed Salmon
I didn’t really feel like making dinner tonight. I mean, I love to cook (it never hurts to state the obvious), but I was in the middle of some serious cleaning and organizing and I didn’t want to lose the ‘zone’. You know. The ‘zone’. Where you are so focused on you…
Two Kinds Of Cranberry Sauce
All right. So I hesitate to say that I am back, but my kitchen is so close to being finished (and then cooking can recommence!) that I am getting extremely antsy. Wouldn’t you be? Its spring here in Illinois and I am desperate to use the last of the winter citrus to…
Filet Au Poivre & New Years Day
Filet Au Poivre, Fettuccine with Spinach Alfredo, and Cherry Tomatoes. That was our dinner last night. And my husband is still raving about it. I really didn’t think that the meal was going to be that impressive. I make some version of Alfredo at least once a month and good beef is on the…
Roast Pork W/Mustard & Peach Glaze
Can you really have too much of a good thing? That is what I was asking myself as I tried to organize my recipes; an ongoing process that doesn’t ever seem to end. Seriously, I could hire someone full time to keep them organized and they would never run out of work. …
Love a Good Recipe?
