As a result of being trapped by snow and ice this winter, I have been craving the flavors of summer! In particular, I love a good beer can chicken recipe on the grill. As a result, I thought I’d make a run at a winter/indoor version using my favorite Pale Ale; Burning River Pale Ale from The Great Lakes Brewing Company. One bite of the finished product and my husband told me this was the BEST chicken he has ever had in his life! Now, it may have been a combo of him really loving this dish and trying to butter me up, but I know it was a great recipe nonetheless! This chicken turned out flavorful and juicy and had a gorgeous golden hue. It was a winning recipe at our house, especially paired with my Oven Roasted New Potatoes, which I baked separately and then added for the last few minutes. Of course, be sure to pair this recipe with a pint of Burning River!
It’s been nearly one year since I launched this blog and I can’t believe I haven’t posted a lasagna recipe yet. I have a few different versions, so I guess I just took my time deciding which to choose. I assure you, I chose well, my friends. This recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser for you, especially for Sunday dinners or large family gatherings. I just made this lasagna a few nights ago for my father-in-law’s birthday dinner and even my nephew, who has a very picky palate, had SECONDS!!! Woohoo! I hope you love it, too

I absolutely love these rechargeable salt and pepper mills. They allow you to add seasoning to your recipes with the simple push of a button. Best of all, little lights illuminate your food as you season, helping you estimate exactly how much salt and pepper you’re adding. I even featured this beloved kitchen tool in our “Top 5 Must-Have Kitchen Gadets post!”

I have always veered away from the bitterness of broccoli rabe and before creating this recipe, I couldn’t even tell you what it looked like before it hit the plate. Now, I have conquered the formerly bitter veggie and overcome my fears. The end result is a full-bodied, spicy dish – - perfect to kick a major pasta craving. (more…)
This is my idea of the perfect meal. My husband sees this as more of a side dish since there’s no meat involved, but I swear I could eat this everyday and wouldn’t even miss the meat. All that aside, this dish is completely lovable, as a main course or as a side. Simple and completely lovable.
Artichoke hearts…my favorites!!! And as a special treat – - shhh – - I’m whispering now – - they are fried. sprinkled with lemon. topped with parmesan cheese. and sea salt.
The key word here is “treat” and that’s just what the day of love demands.
Plus…artichokes are aphrodisiacs. Bring it on, Valentine’s Day

This is my idea of the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for your sweetheart. It’s truly a special treat and requires a bit more effort in the preparation than your everyday meal. It’s very romantic in color, smell and taste with champagne and blood oranges topping the list of ingredients. Happy Valentine’s Day!
