I know, I know. I was skeptical too. Spaghetti squash and tacos don’t seem like a natural fit, but I swear to you… They like peas and carrots. I can’t take credit for this genius combo, though. It all goes Deb Perlman of Smitten Kitchen fame. Deb’s recipe testing skills are on point because I’m…

How to: Quickie Meal – Roasted Broccoli Pesto Pasta
I’ve been working on this recipe for a wee bit. I really wanted it to work because I think it’s such a unique way to use broccoli, which seems to be a fan fave among kids and grownups. Until now I haven’t been happy with its punchiness (which is definitely a word – go fly a kite…

How to: Seasonal Cooking – Mushroom & Pepper Tacos with Quick Pickled Onions
So I’m a little behind on the Cinco de Mayo theme. No one gets sick of tacos though, right? For the record if you answered ‘no, I get sick of tacos’, we can’t be friends. It’s almost as bad as saying ‘I get sick of pizza’, which would make us mortal enemies. So team taco,…
