Chicken & Broccoli Puff Pizza
For me, keeping a well stocked pantry, refrigerator, and freezer are a must. Granted, I create menus and shop for those menus weekly, but I still keep my kitchen stocked for those nights and occasions when the menu just can’t work.

Oven Roasted Chicken with Blackberry-Bourbon Sauce
I love using ingredients in unexpected combinations. I love taking classics and turning them on their side. Last night’s dinner was no exception.

Valentine’s Day Dinner: Bourbon-Mustard Glazed Pork Chops
Growing up in the south, I’ve eaten my fair share of pork chops. Mostly fried and always overcooked, pork chops are a southern staple. However, with USDA lowering the safe cooking temp of pork to 145°F in May of 2011, juicy pork is more popular than ever! For me, I still love a good bone-in […]

Valentine’s Day Dinner: Butter-Poached Scallops in Spaghetti Nests
I love using pasta for nests; it makes such a cute, creative vessel for seafood and even, meatballs. Combine that with my desire to play with my new oyster bed, and I had a perfect date night dinner in mind.

Southern Gentleman’s Grilled Cheese
As a competitive cook with a foodie husband, many date nights are spent creating recipes and having at-home cook offs. We each create our own masterpieces, post the pics on Facebook and Instagram, let everyone vote, and then, share dinner. We’ve had potato salad throw downs, chili cook offs, and this one, a grilled cheese […]
