Edamame Pasta Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumber, and a Sweet Honey Dressing
Posted by Tracy | Filed under lunch, soups, salads, & sides
I have a little problem, and it’s called constantly missing lunch. I’m always too wrapped up in getting things on my to-do list done when I realize my stomach is growling, and by then it’s already 3pm. I don’t want to eat too much that late in the afternoon though, because then I won’t be [...]

As promised, today I’m posting my recipe for sweet potato casserole.

Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Onion, and Bacon
Posted by Tracy | Filed under soups, salads, & sides
I don’t remember ever eating brussels sprouts as a kid. When I first started to cook, whenever I thought of brussels sprouts, I always thought of the kind you get in the frozen section of the grocery store…and boiling them up for dinner just never sounded like a good idea to me. But when I [...]

Since I am currently between jobs, my sister is coming to stay with us all next week during her winter break. I can’t wait! Not only will she get to play with our new puppy who came home yesterday, but we’re looking forward to getting in lots of time in the kitchen. One of the [...]
