Chocolate Banana Bread If you’re like me, you often find yourself with a few over-ripe bananas on your kitchen counter. Sometimes I peel and freeze them to put in smoothies (I make a super yummy peanut butter banana smoothie), but they are also delicious when made into banana bread. I have enjoyed making banana bread [...]

Open-face Steak Sandwiches with Herbed Goat Cheese and Tomatoes Ok, I confess, I planned a grilled flank steak meal in our weekly menu just so I would have leftovers to make these sandwiches.

Sweet Potato Fries We make these sweet potato fries at least every other week, as a side for turkey burgers. I think that sweet potatoes have such a delicious flavor on their own, that they hardly need anything added to them to make them taste great. (In fact, sometimes all we do is add a [...]

Zucchini Sub Sandwiches Zucchini sub sandwiches are one of my family’s favorite meals. We enjoy eating a meatless dinner some nights, and these sandwiches are a great vegetarian meal option. Grilling the zucchini on a grill pan really brings out the vegetables’ delicious flavor. Julia ate so much of the grilled zucchini, topped with tomato [...]

Pizza with Pesto and Tomatoes We have made this pizza three times now and it is quickly becoming one of our favorites. The recipe was inspired by a pizza that we enjoyed at a local pizza restaurant. I love the pesto as the pizza “sauce;” it is the perfect match for pizza crust. Tomatoes and [...]

Pizza Dough *Updated 7/11/11 to reflect a few changes that I think improve the recipe and resulting pizza crust! Brad and I have been making homemade pizzas for many years now, and we have tried many different pizza dough recipes. This recipe is our clear favorite. It calls for bread flour rather than all-purpose. The [...]
