Loaded Nachos
Posted by Tracy | Filed under appetizers, lunch
When I first saw these nachos on How Sweet It Is, I immediately bookmarked them to make at a sooner-rather-than-later date. You see, Jessica and I have a lot in common, with love of cheese and bacon and general aversion to vegetables at the top of the list (although the CSA hubby and I joined this [...]
BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Quesadillas
Posted by Tracy | Filed under appetizers, lunch
Hubby and I have been on vacation this week, and it has definitely been a much-needed break from the daily grind…I’m feeling refreshed and (almost) ready to get back into the routine already! The temperatures have been hot though, and the thought of turning on the oven still makes me want to stick my head [...]
Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I admit that until a few months ago, I had never even heard of lettuce wraps. I’m not a huge fan of vegetables (although I’m coming around, thanks to our CSA!), but I was out to dinner at P.F. Changs with a friend, and she ordered their lettuce wraps. I was skeptical, but when they were [...]

I’m sure you’ve seen some variation of these already, but I just couldn’t help but share them since they’re so easy to make – you literally only need three ingredients! You can make them more fancy if you want, but I love the simplicity of them the way they are. I usually roast them in [...]

In honor of Memorial Day, I just had to post about these. I actually made them for the LOST party we hosted two Sundays ago, and they were a big hit. I had gone to the public market that Saturday and picked up a bunch of fresh vegetables, so all I needed to pick up [...]

Guacamole
Posted by Tracy | Filed under appetizers
Up until this year, I had never actually tried guacamole. Weird, right? It had always been one of those sides at Mexican restaurants, along with the mini tub of sour cream they give you, that I simply avoided. It wasn’t until the Super Bowl this year that I finally tried it, having decided to make [...]
