Some time ago, my friend Nicole brought me some delicious cookies in to work. She found the recipe from a very popular pin on Pinterest. They were sooooo soft and undeniably delightful! I found the pin she got the recipe from and begged my super sweet baker husband to make these for me. They really are the softest cookies ever…kind of like soft little cake cookies.

Lemon. Butter. Garlic. And pasta.
My, oh my, this dish was good.
I was out surfing the recipe filled interwebs looking for a pasta side dish when I came across this one from MagnoliaDays.com. I think the image that Renee posted of her pretty flower shaped pasta is what caught my eye. Then…one by one…each and every ingredient sounded so delicious, I could have started drooling. {Seriously, I’m nine months pregnant. So I’m allowed, right?} Although I do have to say, I have never been a fan of cooking with nuts. I don’t even like them in ice cream because it angers my ‘texture buds.’ But we decided to try the recipe with the pine nuts and my goodness I am SO.HAPPY.WE.DID. The toasty flavor and the added crunch gave the dish the extra ‘oomph’ it didn’t even really need! I loved, loved, loved this dish and plan to make it many more times again! {Pine nuts are crazy expensive. I highly recommend purchasing them from local grocers who sell foods in bulk (Sprouts and Whole Foods). That way you’re only paying for what you need right now.}

Sometimes, after a long day at work, all I want when I come home is a giant glass of wine. But being pregnant, this isn’t really something offered up to me on a silver platter. {Do the French drink wine through pregnancy?} So I have been settling for second best…lots of meals prepared with wine. Smooth, delicious, sweet wine…
I found this chicken recipe over at SkinnyTaste.com. Gina has some absolutely delicious recipes on her site and I’ve yet to try one that I didn’t love! This meal is quick and easy so it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is unbelievably delicious so I like to serve it over a bowl of creamy polenta so as not to miss a drop going into my belly. I highly recommend.

A few weeks ago, Justin and I spent a Saturday in Old Town, Fort Collins and popped into a small bakery for some treats. We bought some delicious Manchego cheddar biscuits and a slice of raspberry lemon tart. {Northern Colorado peeps…check out the Little Bird Bakeshop, you will not be disappointed.} That tart…that unbelievably scrumptious tart…sparked a great desire in us to make our own! And when I say us, I mean my amazing baker husband Justin. He made three tarts before he found the perfect recipes. Recipe is plural because he ended up combining three of them to get the results he wanted! I know that may sound kind of exhausting, but he swears that the final recipe I’ve posted here really is extremely easy. So don’t be intimidated…this tart was amazing and well worth the three step process to make it! And it looks amazing too! {Seriously…look! Look how pretty this thing is!}

Every now and then, Justin and I will come across a super simple recipe that is sooooo good, we’ll make it again that same week. This white wine ravioli with tomatoes and shallots is one such recipe. The entire dish is ready in less than 30 minutes and the white wine butter sauce is absolutely divine!
