My favorite way to eat a meal is with a Charcuterie Board. I’d much rather munch on lots of little things, than eat one, big, heavy meal. I’m not a lumberjack. Plus it has all the best things in life – meat, cheese and crackers. Clearly I’m not a vegetarian, vegan or gluten free. Both my… Continue reading Charcuterie Board Sunday
We have gone out to dinner the last three nights in a row which has been a total treat. But at the same time I grocery shop every week and buy a TON of ingredients to make dinner, and when I don’t cook them, they spoil. Whaaat? It’s shocking news, I know. So for dinner… Continue reading Crab Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers
Oh em gee heirloom tomatoes. These tomatoes make me so happy that I could just eat them like an apple. Every. Single. Day. Whenever I pass them in the grocery store, I turn my little cart around and grab as many as I can possibly shovel into my cart. I don’t care if they cost $1,000. I… Continue reading Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad
So here’s the thing…we eat a lot of chicken around here. It’s cheap, healthy, easy to cook and delicious. And in all honesty, I’m scared to cook fish and red meat half the time. It seems so much more difficult to cook than it really is. Yes, food imitates me sometimes. Yes, I am being a baby. I… Continue reading Fajita Stuffed Chicken Breasts
If someone would have told me 5 years ago that I would be married, have a 6 month old baby and be bringing a picnic dinner aboard a Navy ship for my husband right now I would have been like… “who are you?”. 20 year old Sophia – who was going to college, working as a waitress and… Continue reading Dinner aboard a Navy Ship
Mark and I are a tad obsessed with making the perfect breakfast potatoes. You know the ones you get in that awesome “hole in a wall” diner? Somehow those dudes always seem to get it right. Their potatoes are nice and golden brown and crispy with the perfect seasoning. Then you come home and try and… Continue reading Seafood Grill and Crispy Potatoes
We’ve been in California visiting my family for the past week for Mother’s Day, hence the blogging hiatus. Whoever thought it was a good idea to live thousands of miles away from your parents and siblings is stupid. Grandparents make the PERFECT babysitters. If I could, I would fly my mom out to Florida to visit me and help… Continue reading Salmon with Avocado Salsa
I’m pretty sure we have all been there. You’re bored, you find yourself scrolling down your Facebook newsfeed, you are bombarded with those buzzed (or whatever) food videos, and you think to yourself “Gahhhh I HAVE to make that”. But then you never do. Enter Sophia. My goal the next few weeks is to make those recipes. I… Continue reading Baked Pesto Chicken
I was running around shopping all day, so once I got home I had no energy to cook an extravagant dinner. I was just about to pull the trigger and order take out when I was like, wait…I can totally just make a pizza myself. I had to run to the store though. So maybe it… Continue reading Homemade Pizza Night
Originally I was just going to make chicken tacos for dinner. But Mark suggested grilling up some fish as well, and when you live in freaking Florida – you have to do the fish thing. He even went to the fresh fish market to get the good stuff. I know, he’s good. Marks best friend… Continue reading Fish and Chicken Tacos
