Kate’s Thoughts for Food Meal Planning Service: Home-Cooking Made Fresh
As the self-proclaimed cheese lover that I am, it should come as no surprise that I absolutely enjoy a good lasagna. What’s not to love? They usually feature at least two to three types of cheese layered between delicious pasta and bubbling tomato sauce. But turns out they are also a wonderful way to incorporate [...]
For those of you fellow Marylanders, temporary or permanent, this week (July 21-29) is the Buy Local Challenge. The mission is to encourage consumers to take advantage of the amazing produce available by pledging to eat one thing from a local farm every day of the challenge week. It’s a wonderful way to draw attention [...]
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. What’s even worse is that we just discovered an incredible local fish market this weekend and we are moving again in [...]
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 [...]
I still cannot believe it is November, let alone the week of Thanksgiving. My son is still recovering from the emotional scars of his Halloween costume (apparently dinosaur heads are very scary to one year olds, who knew?) and I swear we were just living in a different state last week, oh wait… Don’t get [...]

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 [...]
My husband is always asking me to make a chicken enchilada casserole and I can never bring myself to do it. The standard recipe was full of processed ingredients, not to mention high in fat and calories. Some things are just not worth it, regardless of how delicious they might seem. I recently enjoyed a [...]
My stomach is slowly recovering from a fun and food-filled weekend on the East Coast. I traveled back home for a family wedding and my little foodie belly had a blast! The wedding food featured some pretty killer barbecue and a variety of pies, rather than the typical wedding cake. I am only slightly ashamed [...]
