Portobello Pizza Recipe

July 30, 2013 By Gwen Brown 18 Comments

Lunch: portobello pizza recipe.  Check. Delicious?  Check. Enjoyed without the scrutinizing gaze and looks of disgust from the fungal-phobes…CHECK. The truth is, my husband and kids wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole, and would make all sorts of death wails and moans of despair if I even attempted to serve this as dinner. …

Weekly Menu Planning

July 23, 2013 By Gwen Brown 56 Comments

Weekly menu planning is the best and the worst part of my week.  On one hand, I love having that framework in place to make out a grocery list…a THOROUGH grocery list that ensures that I only make one trip to the grocery store per week.  That’s the goal.  And a girl can dream. I…

July 9, 2013 By Gwen Brown 31 Comments

Perfect peanut butter recipe?  YES!  But I’m not just tooting my own horn here.  There’s a perfectly logical reason behind the name that I’ll get to later.

Spaghetti Pie Recipe

June 25, 2013 By Gwen Brown 34 Comments

 This is my favorite spaghetti pie recipe.  Actually, to be really honest, it’s my favorite way to eat spaghetti period.  The first time I ordered pasta on a date, I realized that there are very high odds of multiple eating faux-pas that can happen when you’re slurping down…er, I mean ‘delicately eating’ a plate full…
