Another weeknight. Another dinner that needs to be made. I love to eat but most of the time I am so damn lazy. I mean, ask anyone who’s been at my house after 6pm on a weeknight. They’re either eating cheese and bread (Oh, look! We’re full on appetizers! Damn!) or I am probably floating the … Continue reading »
Let’s talk about weeknight dinners. A Monday dinner no less. Could there be a less appealing night to get in the kitchen and dirty up a ton of dishes? Last night, after hiking up the hill to my apartment, peeling off layer after layer of cold weather gear, slipping off my boots and putting on … Continue reading »
I love cooking on vacation…especially when I have a bunch of hungry tummies who are just aching to eat. So when The BF, Scott and Jonah walked in from the grocery store (and woke me from my nap) yelling, “Alejandraaaaa!!! Come make something for us to eeeeaaaat!” I couldn’t really be annoyed.

The BF really loves tomato-cucumber salad, I wanted a pasta salad and love orzo and ta-da! A side dish! Unlike potato salads, and even guacamole, this wasn’t … Continue reading »

Sometimes the avocados don’t even last long enough to make it into the bowl for mashing…I just love to eat them with a sprinkle of salt. Everyone has a trick to making the best guac ever. … Continue reading »
Know what I love? Meatballs. Know what I love even more than meatballs? Spaghetti and meatballs! So I set out to make spag and balls (a phrase my very “New York” friend Phil taught me) one night. I started with a Best of Cooking Light Italian Favorites meatball recipe as inspiration…and I use the term … Continue reading »
It’s Valentine’s day this weekend! Whether you’re celebrating your supremely sexy, single self…or you have a significant other, I think cooking a special meal every now and then is important! I made this dinner for myself last night actually…and quite by mistake. I needed protein (lots of working out with all this snowed-in business) so chicken … Continue reading »
