Cuban-Style Grilled Pork Chops

Hey, it’s Katie here. Yesterday I cooked up a grilled meal, to celebrate the warm weather we’ve been getting here in West (by-gosh) Virginia! It was a sunny, beautiful 57 out yesterday, lasting into the evening, and so it seemed appropriate to grill dinner out on the deck, instead of bake it inside. So, taken [...]

Katie's Chili & Cornbread

Hey everyone! Although I’ve been cooking almost every day, I have a scatter brain, and tend to forget to take photos. Last night I made chili and cornbread, and actually remembered to take photos!! Oh, and this post has a guest star, since when I was discussing making chili and cornbread, Ryan requested that I [...]

Chicken Carbonara

Hey ya’ll,  Katie here. Last night I tried my hand at Chicken Carbonara, which I’ve read about a lot, but can’t remember if I’ve ever tried. So, in looking through blogchef.net and the bookmarks I’ve placed on that page while at work yesterday, I figured I’d try it out. Here’s the recipe:

All Finished up!

Ingredients:
1lb boneless [...]

Meatball Subs

A few days ago, I got a craving for a meatball sub.  I haven’t had one in YEARS, partially because I only recently started eating beef after a 10 or so year long hiatus (although I have had some great turkey meatball, butternut squash, and cranberry sauce sandwiches…) and partially because subs just don’t seem [...]

Arctic Char

At our grocery store, we always swing by the fish section.  We aren’t sure what we’re searching for, other than “anything that looks good” but even that is so subjective as to be almost laughable.  In general, we end up with cod or haddock or sole, and we always eyeball the tuna steaks [...]

Katie's Baked Manicotti

I really want to share my story about baked manicotti that I made last night, but I’m having wicked writer’s block. So, I’ll keep this food post short, and tasty. I’ll start by saying: I didn’t know what I was going to make. Again. And then I settled on stuffed shells. But then the grocery [...]

Catastrophic Cooking: Katie's Super Thumbs Down Dish

As we all know, West Virginia isn’t exactly the seafood capitol of the world, here. So, when I decided to try out Jamie Oliver’s recipe for White Fish wrapped in Bacon I knew I’d have to take a few moments in the grocery store, and re-think the ingredients if I couldn’t come up with the [...]

Home Made Sushi: Terrifying, but Yummy.

Hey, ya’ll, it’s Katie, once again! First, before I start this post on my expierence making sushi while I was in Connecticut, I’d like to share a post from postsecret.com that really reminded me of myself, and thought I’d throw it out there, since this is a food blog. And you know you do the [...]

Chicken Pot Pie: Take 2

Hey, it’s Katie again, cooking up the second of my recipes! It’s always a bit of a surprise what I’m going to make for dinner, since I don’t usually know until about 3pm the day of. The last time I made Chicken Pot Pie I was in college, and trying to mimic my then-boyfriend’s mother’s [...]

A Welcome, and Review From the Southern Sister

My name is Katie, and I’m 23 with a passion for quick, healthy, and light cooking.  Some of you may, or may not know that Tatiana is my most favorite and beautiful older sister. In being my big sister, she is allowing me to write in on her blog “It Was A Very Good Meal”. [...]
