Egg And Veggie Caserole

Tonight's dinner is egg and veggie casserole. I usually will make quiche but I was looking for a healthier meal minus all the butter in the crust.

Baked Penne

I don't cook with a lot of cheese these days, but since I both ran and did yoga today I'm craving something hearty and cheesy and homey.  Plus we have an abundance of penne in the house.  This dish is pretty easy, I didn't make much from scratch. I know my kids will love it!…

Surviving Without An Oven

Our oven broke last week and we decided we couldn't fix it. So we get our new stove/oven delivered on December 7th. OMG, I can't wait! It is beautiful and modern and guaranteed gonna cook up some amazing food. It is also going to make my 1950's kitchen look very very old. I foresee a…

Cauliflower Soup With Tumeric, Ginger And Honey
