About Me: I'm a 36 year old energetic wife and mother. I have a vivid imagination and bold sense of humor. I love to cook, bake and create. ☺️
What are we going to do this weekend? We’re going to boil Fettuccine and toss it in homemade Alfredo sauce! Booyah!
Use a pre-sliced sourdough baguette. Coat one slice with spreadable cream cheese and the other with thick slices of colby-jack cheese. Instead of using butter on the outside of the bread try using mayonnaise for a crispier crust.
“My friends and family refer to me as ‘Tara the magical food magician!'”
“I’m just a girl standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a Donut.”
Brunch style savory bread pudding big enough to feed a crowd of friends. The ingredients are simple including Swiss Chard, a loaf of bread, green onions/shallots, bacon, eggs, cheese, heavy cream, and seasonings.
“Take people’s opinions with a grain of salt, add pepper, noodles, some cheese, because mac and cheese matters more than what anyone thinks about you. The end.”

With the addition of sun dried tomatoes and a blend of Italian seasonings, this creamy pasta packs a punch and comes together really fast! It’s great with chicken, and fresh basil as garnish is a must.

Sliced lengthwise for a sleek look, fork tender with a hint of rosemary, and finished off with a buttery honey-garlic glaze and a sprinkling of sea salt. Savory-sweet and delicious! This is the perfect side dish for Sunday dinner.
A quick weeknight dinner featuring savory Italian sausage and sweet peppers simmered in a ‘semi-homemade’ sauce that’s then tossed with Rigatoni noodles cooked to al dente perfection.

“Winter blues are cured every time with a potato gratin paired with a roast chicken.”
– Alex Guarnaschelli
An excellent companion to savory chicken, pork or red meat. The flavor is subtly sweet with a hint of tang from the sour cream and dill.
Oven roasted red potatoes seasoned with shallots, herbs, salt, and olive oil have a crispy crust on the outside with a sweet and creamy filling on the inside. They’re a perfect pairing with grilled chicken or steak.

It’s time to take your weekend coffee game to the next level. This blend of aromatic spices, rich coffee grounds and scalded milk is undeniably delicious and a great alternative to leaving the house for Starbucks.
Tuna Salad: I substitute the mayo with 2% Greek Yogurt. I also make sure to buy tuna in “water”.. not tuna in “oil.” I use dill relish which has zero calories, and to add sweetness I use a dollop of honey.
“No matter what happens, pizza will always be there for you, thick and thin, in the crust we trust.”
“Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.” – Mitch Hedberg
This one’s my favorite so far because of how exciting it is!
“PIZZA: The perfect meal. An open-faced pie using tomato sauce, cheese, and any manner of toppings. Tastes like heaven and is sometimes stated to be better than a relationship.”
…That’s why Cobb is my favorite type of salad, and will remain the champion. It’s a great excuse to have ham or chicken, hard-boiled eggs, avocado.. BACON…
This breakfast has 286 calories, is very satisfying, and takes about 10 minutes from start to finish!
To lighten things up I present a low-cal sheet pan meal that tastes great, is easy to cleanup, and very cheap to make!!
