She's the Bross

April was a crazy busy month. We had a wedding in Marfa (a friend recaps it here), a surprise 40th birthday and we spent A LOT of time unpacking in the new house (still a lot more to do).  Not a lot of cooking happened in the beginning since my kitchen was all in boxes, but it was [...]

Last year we celebrated Fat Tuesday with our friends CJ & Chauntay. They made this fantastic jambalaya that I had to attempt myself this year. I actually made it last night, so I could share with you today. It is very easy and the flavors are incredible. I made it a little healthier by using brown rice [...]

My love for the Food Network is getting out of hand. It seems as if every time I watch a show, I am compelled to make whatever it is. And it’s on my mind until I actually make the meal/dessert/side item. And this is 100% true when the show is the Barefoot Contessa. Her recipes [...]

I’ve taken a look back to see what the most popular recipe posts of 2012 were… some are a bit surprising. I had forgotten about some, yeah, my memory is great. Were these some of your favorites as well? {january 2012} Of course January resulted in a healthy breakfast smoothie as everyone was making their resolutions [...]

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, [...]

Monday: Fish Fillets with Tomatoes,  Squash, and Basil Again, I used the pre-made parchment paper packets, so much easier. We really liked this recipe and I used halibut instead of our usual tilapia so it was much heartier than our usual fish portion. Tuesday: Pasta with roasted tomatoes and Italian chicken In an on-going effort [...]

I love pasta salad. It’s basically a hodge-podge of anything you have in your fridge or pantry. That’s what I love about this recipe from My Recipes, it’s a unique combination that I would never put together in a “regular” pasta salad. Plus, it doesn’t have any mayo – which I know will make some [...]

Sorry guys – I promise I have some great recipes coming up. But for now, here is what I cooked the past 4 weeks. Not a lot, but some good things I’d like to share. In no particular order at all, mainly because I can’t remember back that far… Zesty Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken from AllRecipes.com [...]

Finally had the chance to cook my first real meal in the new place and I think I may have set the bar a little too high because it was delicious. Chicken Pesto Packets (make as many packets as you’d like) boneless, skinless chicken breast zucchini, thinly sliced tomatoes, diced prepared pesto (or homemade, I [...]
