I seem to equate mac and cheese with being single.
Which is ridiculous, because Mr Tart and I eat it on the regular. However, mac and cheese is also one of those meals I whip up whenever I'm eating alone and don't want to spend a lot of time cooking a dinner for one.
Super Simple Mac and Cheese seemed like the perfect book-inspired recipe for Ghosts. Main character Nina cooks on her own more often than not, and when you've had a long day of...
I can't tell you why Mushroom Risotto is the book-inspired recipe for Ghoster.
That's because the inspiration for this dish comes at the very end of the story.
What I can tell you is that this Mushroom Risotto is my new make-at-home culinary obsession. (Much to my mushroom-hating husband's dismay.) Mushroom Risotto is one of my favorite meals, but I rarely get the opportunity to eat it.
A lot of restaurants offer it on menus, but I'll be...
Hello, please meet my new best friend: Creamy Tomato Pasta. Because carbs are our friends, right? (If you disagree, please unsubscribe from this blog. #Kiddingnotkidding... ) We all know that I love carbs. If I could eat pasta every day for the rest of my life without gaining 5,742 pounds, I would totally do it. And Creamy Tomato Pasta would make a weekly appearance on my dinner table. Okay, maybe twice a week since this recipe could feed an...
Sunday Night Chicken Dinner, coming in hot! We’re talking pan-seared chicken smothered in a creamy tomato sauce and served over pasta. It’s perfect for a chilly February night with the snow falling outside and the wind howling at your door. In Friends and Strangers, main characters Elisabeth and Sam quickly move beyond their employer-employee relationship and develop an intense friendship, with Sam regularly going over to Elisabeth’s house...
Creamy Pesto Pasta is another book-inspired recipe that was in the works long before I had a book to pair with it. Creamy pesto sauce, IMHO, is so much better than regular ol' pesto sauce. My favorite local Italian restuarant makes a version that's literally had me licking the bowl after I'd wolfed down all the pasta. I've been angling to make my own version of Creamy Pesto Pasta at home, but with said restaurant a mere seven-minute drive from...
Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness is coming your way in the form of One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta. I know we’re nearing the end of comfort food season, but after an especially trying 13 months, I think we’re allowed a little over-indulgence, don’t you? One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta is the exact warm, comforting, culinary hug you need in your life. Imagine my surprise to find the book-inspired recipe for Wow, No Thank You already in the book! If...
There’s nothing like Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings to warm you up on a cold winter night! Okay, that gratuitously cozy-sounding first sentence was to coax you into reading the rest of this post after you glanced at the featured image. I’ll be the first to admit that these Chicken and Dumplings pics aren’t the prettiest examples of food photography to ever grace my blog. BUT! I guarantee you that this dish is one of the most delicious,...
I'm feeling all the vegetarian vibes with these Veggie Soba Noodle Bowls. I thought I had a handle on quick, delicious dishes with my brie mac and cheese and mushroom thyme pasta, both of which use traditional pasta and cook up in about 20 minutes. However, it's soba noodles for the win when those hangry "I need to eat NOW!" cravings hit. I’d heard of these Japanese buckwheat noodles but never really paid them attention until I read The...
Ratatouille Pasta is the rescue recipe for anyone whose vegetable garden is still in zucchini and tomato overload. *raises hand* This is the first year that Mr. Tart and I have managed to successfully grow our own vegetables. We've been in the Cottage for five years now, and we've completely failed at growing food for three of those. However, since quarantine's forced us to spend a LOT more time at home, we've been able to properly tend to the...
It's official: I'm welcoming in all things spring and summer with Salsa Verde Shrimp Pasta. This recipe was originally created to be a stand-alone. However, I dreamt it up while I was reading Summer Rental, and soon this flavorful dish was screaming to become the book-inspired recipe for this great summer read. Even though the ladies of Summer Rental are on a beach vacation, they're still on a budget, which means they do a lot of cooking at...
