Portobello Pizzas
Usually in our household, you’ll find us making or ordering pizza a couple weekends a month. We love Italian food, the flavors of pizza, and heck – just pizza itself! But you have to admit – pizza can be a little too calorically dense to have all too often. So, sometimes I like to play…
BBQ Chicken Cobb Salad
Yesterday Ross was able to come home for lunch in the middle of the work day. Given that school starts for both of us next week (he’s a teacher and students come back next week), it was a fun little surprise to end the last Monday of the summer. It was only appropriate that I…

Tangerine Yogurt Cake
Do you ever have a recipe that stays in your head? I do. I see a picture and read a recipe and I’m doomed. I have to make it. Which is why this cake is totally Jenna‘s fault. See, when I saw her recipe for Lemon Loaf Cake, I just could not get it out…
