Pesto Primavera
GEORGE: Why do I get pesto? Why do I think I’ll like it? I keep trying to like it, like I have to like it. JERRY: Who said you have to like it? GEORGE: Everybody likes pesto. You walk into a restaurant, that’s all you hear – pesto, pesto, pesto. JERRY: I don’t like pesto.…

If you love cheesesteaks and/or Italian food and/or any situation that involves meat and cheese, you will fall in love with this insanely delicious, insanely EASY Cheesesteak Stromboli.

Sweet Potato Chili
Every year in April (with the exception of 2015 when I was 8 months preggo), we go on a big family vacation to Hilton Head, South Carolina, or Moochfest, as we have lovingly nicknamed the trip. My parents and a couple of my aunts/uncles/close family friends have timeshares in Hilton Head at the end of…

Perfect Marinara
Well, perfect to me, anyway… So I’m from northeast Jerz. You could pretty much throw a rock in any direction where I grew up and hit a bagel or pizza joint. All of which had better bagels and pizza than the best bagels or pizza you can find in Colorado. Man, I miss good pizza.…

Mike literally survives on these things. Many, many moons ago, when Mike got his first full-time teaching position, his schedule…

Mile-High Biscuits & Gravy
When I was growing up, our big family trip every year was driving down to Hilton Head, South Carolina over the week of spring break. It’s a long drive – 15 hours. We never did it in one day… We usually crashed somewhere once we hit North Carolina. And as kids, North Carolina was the…

Thanksgiving-Any-Day Casserole
“Sue!” Frank whisper-hissed at me, nudging me with his elbow. “We didn’t say grace yet,” my one-year-younger cousin quietly reminded me out of the corner of his mouth a millisecond before dissolving into giggles. I’m sure my cheeks, full as a chipmunk’s, turned dark red with horrified embarrassment. Meanwhile, Matt caught on just in time…

Pumpkin Cheese(cup)cakes
With the exception of Biscuits & Gravy, I really don’t bake much. Besides it being a little tricky at 8,500 feet above sea level, I’ve just never had a sweet tooth. Mike actually nicknamed me “Meat Tooth” many years ago on a ski trip with my cousins and a couple of friends because I was…

Spicy Asian-Style Chicken Noodle Soup
You know what I love about twists on classic recipes? There’s no standard by which to judge it, so unless the chicken is raw or some other MAJOR flaw, I’ll probably be pretty psyched about the result ? (PS, if you’ve got yourself a little head cold, this version of chicken noodle will REALLY…
