Brittany's PantryBlack Bean Salsa
If you happen to be looking for a new recipe for the upcoming sporting event this weekend, well, your search is over. For me personally, it is less about the actual game (I don’t even know who is playing) or the halftime show (the last time I watched it Janet Jackson had…
Gringo Chicken Soup & Surprises At The Supermarket
Sometimes, when you least expect it, a little gem of a recipe comes your way. Something that makes your life easier (super quick to make) and tastes unbelievably good (like cheesy dip on a spoon). A few years ago, not long after moving to Illinois, I was grocery shopping and came across…
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches & Quick Cole Slaw
I have been saving this recipe for you! More specifically, I have been saving it for this time of year. The time of year when shopping, card labeling, entertaining, visiting, wrapping, traveling, and cookie baking stress people out and fill up our already jam packed schedules. At the same time, every commercial,…
Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
This post has been in the works for several days now. I had planned on posting it Friday, but just ran out of time. No, I was not out shopping at 3am. I don’t do the whole ‘Black Friday’ thing and usually get most of my shopping done long before the end…
Heather’s Dip
At the risk of alienating some of my readers, I should really be totally honest with all of you. I am not a football fan. I never know when the games are on, I certainly couldn’t tell you who was playing who, and the only football player who I can name with…
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…
Panzanella Salad
Summer is drawing to a close. There. I said it. Sorry to burst your bubble, but regardless of what the temperature is where you live, the start of the school year is a not so subtle signal that the long days of water skiing and sunscreen are all but over. For me,…
Baked Pasta W/Summer Veggies
I completely underestimated this dish. I’ll explain. I have mentioned before that I usually keep a running list of menus to make for dinner during that week. I glance through my freezer and sort of mentally pair things with what I have coming out of my garden in the next few days and…
How To: Grill Pizza & An Anniversary

Pasta Scuie Scuie: A Double Take
Yes, this dish may look a bit familiar. Can you see the similarities between these two pictures? With the exception of the type of pasta I used, the ingredients are nearly identical. The top dish is Pasta Scuie Scuie (pronounced ‘shway shway’ and meaning ‘quick quick’ in Italian) and the bottom dish is Margarita…
Guacamole
Hola! It was a Mexican Fiesta this weekend at our house and here is the guacamole recipe I promised you! I also made shredded beef tacos with spicy sour cream, salsa, and mexican rice. We had carrot cake for dessert (my husband’s FAVorite-although not exactly fitting for our Latin theme!) and all I…
Garden Salsa: Fast, Easy, Fresh!
As I have previously mentioned, Mexican food is not my favorite cuisine. My husband does not share this opinion. Also, his birthday was this week. Do you know what this means? It means that I suck it up and make him Mexican food because I love him more than I hate cilantro….
Sweet Veggie Pasta Salad
Do you really need a Fry Daddy? That is what those things are called, right? The deep fryers that people give out as wedding gifts and that to my knowledge, nobody actually purchases to use in their kitchen? Raise your hand if there is one taking up space in the back of…
Pasta With Zesty Bolognese
Let me just say that I love to share this recipe with people. Quick Disclaimer: I think my spell check isn’t working… It isn’t my creation, but when people would ask me for a recipe for something quick and easy, I would give them this. When a friend is looking for something…
Homemade Ketchup-It is so easy!
In my last post I mentioned that I had made ketchup for my son’s birthday party, and while the reviews were mixed (there may or may not have been some self proclaimed picky eaters there) I am excited about sharing it with you. Why? It is just ketchup after all. Just a common, cheap…
