Today marks M’s Belly’s two year blog anniversary! Woot! When I look back into the post archives and see my first (uninterestingly written and poorly lit) post for mini beef wellingtons, I see I shot some of the photos outside on the condo balcony. I remember March being simply lovely and in the mid-50’s that year for …
As I mentioned in the last post, I always cook a special dinner for The Hubs on Valentines Day. This filet is the To Die For cornerstone of said special meal. If you like meat and have a fancy occasion on which you are willing to drop a few extra bucks, this recipe is for YOU. This …
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a new love in my life, as I gave birth to a baby boy exactly one month ago today.
Let me begin by saying, this is not from scratch, not even remotely. I’ve thrown scratch out the window and replaced it with ease these past couple of months… I’ll tell you what, this pregnancy thing is not all it’s cracked up to be… I’m 35 1/2 weeks preggo and I think I’ve spent more time …
Ok, so cranberry sauce… Growing up, I never touched it, as it was totally just some wobbly jello-y looking thing that slithered out of a can.

Is it just me, or is everyone in a bigger rush than ever this year? It seemed like we hadn’t even turned the Halloween corner into November and I was getting Christmas catalogues and seeing lawns already decorated with Rudolph and Santa. I went to the mall at the beginning of this month and it …

Ask my husband and he’ll disappointedly tell you I am NOT a fan of Halloween. He LOVES Halloween. He came home from school today and immediately put on his halloween skeleton shirt. I blame my mother for my dislike of all things Halloweenish. I do not like the scary movies, haunted houses, face-painting, and creepy …
The in-laws visited last weekend so to celebrate we decided to grill a serious steak and potato meal for Sunday Supper. Everyone agreed the potatoes were to die for, so much so, that they almost stole the steak show. These tubers taste zingy, tart, tangy and salty. The skins are split and cracked on the outside, anew reveal fork-tender potato on …
Italian, Italian, Italian, it’s all I’m pregnantly, I mean presently, craving at the moment. I want noodles with tomato sauce and CHEESE, cheese, and more cheese. Not just any old crappy cheese either, it’s got to be fresh mozzarella! I stumbled across a few different recipes for skillet lasagna and thought, “lasagna from start to …
