She's the Bross

This recipe was inspired by a blog that I love… How Sweet It Is. I swear, every time one of her recipes pops up in my browser, I die. I pin. I make. I love. I share. Sorry, that got weird. If you’re not following her blog, you need to be. I feel like we’re [...]

This recipe was originally posted way back in January 2011 [see original here]- but I am making it for dinner tonight so I thought I’d bring it up to the top just in case you may have missed it. It’s full of flavor and healthy – enjoy!!!  here’s what you’ll need: 1 large potato, peeled [...]

Continuing my cooking from cookbooks trend, I made recipes from this fantastic cookbook last week. Another perfect wedding gift we received and I highly recommend it for future brides (and/or grooms). Every recipe that my friends and I have tried have been a huge success. Buy it here whether for yourself or your next wedding shower, [...]

So this isn’t technically a recipe, just simply an idea. An idea inspired by the naked burrito bowls at Qdoba/Chipotle, complete with a healthier, brown rice version of the cilantro-lime rice. This is kind of like taco night, only stepped up a notch or two. Pick your favorite ingredients, set them up in a row [...]

In these warm (understatement of the year) summer months, I’ve been craving light, refreshing meals. This week cilantro was on my brain. I do love me some Qdoba, so I decided to attempt a healthier-homemade naked burrito bowl at home, complete with cilantro-lime brown rice. Inspired by this Two Peas & Their Pod cilantro-lime rice, I decided [...]

I couldn’t resist these roll-ups on the 4th of July because of their name, Philly Firecrackers. I mean, how perfect is that for the 4th celebration? These are perfect year-round though as they are quick, easy and pack a punch with the tangy horseradish sauce. 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1 green onion, chopped 1/4 [...]

I bought double the ingredients for the Chicken & Avocado Salad with Lime & Cilantro I made last week. So later in the week, I re-invented the recipe into a chicken melt. It was the best sandwich I’ve had in quite a while. I’m typically not a fan of hot sandwiches (call me crazy) but for [...]

So here’s what I made this week so far. I will definitely be cooking Saturday after my first trip to the farmers’ market this year, but I have no clue what it will be just yet. I’ll share if it’s good! Seriously, this week’s meals were so delicious and pretty light/healthy-ish. Monday: Chicken & Avocado [...]

I love getting recommendations of blogs to follow through other great blogs. It’s like book recommendations or something, they’re always better when you know the source suggesting them. That is how I came to find the elefantitas alegres blog. Although, I can’t recall which blog introduced me, I have been a loyal follower for quite [...]

[Week 6] The superbowl food coma, combined with a mid-week ski trip meant not a lot of cooking for me this week. We had such a successful, very small, get together for the superbowl.  Everything turned out great and I ate my weight in all the delicious snacks. Of course P-Dub made an appearance…with the BBQ [...]
