- Foil Packet Grilled Potatoes
There is no doubt that grilling helps make dinnertime a bit easier. I can usually cook an entire meal on the grill avoiding messy cleanups in the kitchen. These foil packed grilled potatoes are one of my family's favorite side dishes. Foil packs are a quick and simple way to get great tasting potatoes without any fuss. I just place baby Yukon Gold potatoes into a foil packet along with my favorite herbs and seasonings, some garlic cloves and olive oil and pop them on the grill. In about 15 minutes your potatoes will turn out slightly crisp and charred... - Rigatoni Pasta with Broccoli and Sun Dried Tomatoes
I'm so excited to bring this recipe to you today! A friend of mine actually gave me the idea for this recipe when she served it at a summer party a few years ago. Since then I've added my own twist to the dish. Perfectly al dente mezzi rigatoni is tossed with garlicky broccoli and sun dried tomatoes, then tossed together with creamy buffalo milk mozzarella bites (bocconcini) that melt right into the pasta. I'm pretty sure this will become one of your favorite go-to pasta dishes! You'll want to put this rigatoni pasta with broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes into... - Mango Margarita
It's margarita season! Wait, isn't every season margarita season?! All kidding aside, I'm very picky about my margaritas and this Mango Margarita recipe did not disappoint.

Tart lime juice and just the right amount of my favorite tequila and orange liquor take this margarita to the next level. It's perfectly chilled on ice for a refreshing drink you'll go crazy for all summer long! Mango Simple Syrup Believe it or not, you can buy simple syrup in... - Asparagus and Shallot Frittata
Frittatas are one of my favorite brunch foods. I love them for so many reasons. They are easy to assemble and are great to make in a pinch for dinner. Frittatas can be made with just about any of your favorite vegetables. Since it's spring, I'm using asparagus and pairing it together in a with shallots and a shredded Asiago cheese blend. This Asparagus and Shallot Frittata recipe differs slightly from the traditional method of making frittatas. I don't use any heavy cream, so it's a bit lighter. I think you'll love how amazing it turns out. You can serve... - Haluski (Noodles and Cabbage)
St. Patrick's Day is around the corner and there's cabbage everywhere you turn. Although it might not be your typical Irish dish, I can't resist making it this time of year. Haluski is made with egg noodles and tossed with buttery caramelized cabbage. It is a warm and comforting meal that reminds me of my childhood every time I make it. My great-grandmother was from (at the time) Czechoslovakia. She passed the dish on to my mother, who made her own modifications over time. Now I make it for my family, and they go crazy for it. I think yours...
