Kate’s Thoughts for Food Meal Planning Service: Home-Cooking Made Fresh
In honor of my Irish heritage and fellow O-postrophes, I am dedicating the month of March to being green! While for some that might mean your fair share of green beer or a shamrock or two, in my little food blog world it means paying homage to the modest green vegetable. All this month I’ll [...]
It seems finding a recipe fit more a fresh food makeover is as simple as doing a Google search for casserole. I honestly have no idea why cans of soup become the go to ingredient for simple meals. Especially when creating your own sauce involves ingredients we almost all have on hand and takes little [...]
When I found today’s makeover recipe I was almost paralyzed with fear. Where does one begin tackling a recipe with taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, Ro-tel AND a bag of Doritos? But I powered through and came up with what I feel is a reasonable solution. My goal was not to mimic the dish [...]
Today’s fresh food recipe deserves a disclaimer: I took the fresh food volume and turned it WAY up. It may seem that I literally tried to see how many fresh vegetables I could pack into one casserole, but the fact of the matter is that I adore vegetable enchiladas and simply couldn’t resist including a [...]
Why didn’t I think of this sooner? I’ve been cooking complete dinners in my Dutch oven for the past couple of months and not once did I think of cooking pasta in it. I mean honestly, what was I thinking? Thankfully I have seen the err of my ways and did a quick course correction [...]
I realized that I hadn’t shared many seafood one-pot options since I started this endeavor a couple of months ago. This seems especially silly given that we are currently living right on the ocean.

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I think I can say it was a success! We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family, sharing delicious food, and basically eating enough to last me through New Year’s. Oh the joys of holidays! And now I am getting ready to start testing Christmas baking [...]
We have safely arrived at our latest temporary destination and wasted no time christening the new kitchen! What better way to make a place feel like home then filling it with the sweet aromas of food? I suppose you could buy a lovely smelling candle, but I find the cooking approach is much more fulfilling. [...]
This recipe had me at peanut butter.

We lucked out this week and were able to purchase a fresh local chicken at the Farmer’s market. The ready to eat kind, not the kind you take home as a pet for your children. (Although it would be a little awkward if it was the latter and I went on share a recipe on [...]
