What I'm Craving and Cooking in the Kitchen
I will never be ashamed about eating store bought salsa. There is always a MINIMUM of 2-3 varieties in my fridge/pantry at all times. Chunky, smooth, mango, black bean, I like them all. BUT, there is something extra special about making your own salsa. And […]
Recreate your favorite Indian takeout meal with this easy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken. Indian cooking can be intimidating to first timers. But, don’t be! Once you have a few staple spices in your pantry, you’ll find yourself making it more and more. And this Butter […]

Hi, I’m Kathleen. I am and always will be obsessed with chicken fingers, tenders, and nuggets. Fun fact: in college (although I did cook for myself often), frozen chicken nuggets were one of my favorite pre or post bar fuel snacks. And I may have […]
I love takeout just as much as the next person, but sometimes you crave something homemade. I have good news. Not only do these stir fried shrimp udon noodles use almost entire pantry ingredients, but they come together in less than 30 minutes. That’s even […]

As we say goodbye to summer, we enter another very exciting season – tailgate season. I am not known to be in the know about football. Don’t ask me questions about which players I like or which are the best teams in the league. What […]
When I manage to wake up early enough, one of my favorite weekend morning activities is visiting the farmers market. I love wandering down the rows and rows of colorful, local, in season produce. It’s like a game picking out new things to experiment with. […]

This salad has the 3 F’s I demand any salad to have. Filling, Fresh, and Flavorful. All the flavors of a gyro that we all know and love, but in salad form so we feel a little bit better about it. This Tzatziki is so […]
