Here we are. Week one. First public menu for The Weary Chef. I'm still working out the details of how to fit everything into one post, and I welcome your feedback on the format. Photos of every dish are in the pipeline, but if a reader wants to submit a photo, that would be fantastic too! I can't say that I'm an awesome photographer. Now, let's get to the good part.

Skillet Sausage Pasta with Spinach
You won't believe how just a few ingredients can come together to make this Skillet Sausage Pasta that tastes like it came from an Italian restaurant!

When I got ... continue reading...

I made it her way a lot in college and when we were newlyweds, but for some reason I forgot about this family favorite for a while. I'm so glad to ... continue reading...
Let’s get this party started!
Hello, fellow chefs. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Andi, a mom of young boys who is fueled by coffee by day and wine by night.

Every weekend, I plan a menu of dinners, make a grocery list, and shop for the week.
