I have made this pasta a thousand times. Back when I was twenty and twenty-two, I didn’t have much of a budget for entertaining but still wanted to have my friends over for dinner so I almost always made pasta because it’s an inexpensive way to feed people. Nine out of ten times, I made…

Lemon Skillet Chicken
This is an exciting day on The Rose Table! I am finally publishing my Lemon Skillet Chicken recipe. My mom taught me how to make this when I was a teenager. It’s the first chicken dinner I ever learned how to cook in my college apartment! This was literally the main way I cooked chicken…
Backyard Taco Night
What an easy way to host people! I just love taco night. I couldn’t even count how many times I’ve hosted taco night for my friends. (I am Texan after all and queso is life.) I wasn’t planning on blogging about last night’s dinner with my friends Jessica (who, by the way, photographed most of…
Lakeside Lobster
Does dinner get more epic than this? Here’s what I love about food: I probably would not have remembered this Friday but now I always will because it’s the day my mom and I had lobster at the lake. What a special evening! My dad saw this fully cooked lobster on sale this summer and…
Royal Roast
This dish is Christmas dinner special! A classic beef tenderloin gets a bit of a French twist with crispy leeks and a decadent mustard sauce.

My mom is an excellent cook and shared her beef tenderloin recipe with me for Disney Dinners: Cinderella. I was very intimidated to cook beef tenderloin but it was actually super easy! It’s only a couple of steps and…
Tomato Basil Flank Steak

Serve over a bed of bulgur wheat, rice, or couscous and top with a bit of asiago or manchego cheese and you’ve…
Lakeside Cobb Salad
I honestly could eat this for dinner every night. I’m a big, big salad lover. I probably eat five salads a week but I rarely post “recipes” because I so often make them with whatever I have around the house! I’m trying to change that. This is a winning combination that I made for dinner…
Heirloom Tomato Pizza
Let your summer garden tomatoes shine with this easy heirloom tomato pizza! I am devastated that I didn’t take any pictures of this pizza while I was making it. I posted some Instagram stories but I totally forgot to take prep photos! Oh well, I was hungry. But this was too delicious not to share,…
