Italian Vegetable Sauté
This is by far my husband’s favorite way to eat veggies. The key is the tomato paste, white wine and vegetable broth. You can use whatever fresh vegetables that are available to you…I’ve made it with just about every kind of veggie and it always comes out tasty! Continue reading

Roasted Thyme Potatoes
Did you know that the potato originated in southern Peru sometime between 8000-5000 BC? Wow…pretty cool. Anyway, I’m glad that they’re still around and are just as delicious now as they were back then. Mashed, boiled, roasted – Any way you make ’em. Today I’ve used baby potatoes so they cook up quicker and have a wonderful creamy flavor. The thyme adds a perfect little note to that creamy flavor… Continue reading

Taco Tuesday: Tacos Al Pastor
In reality Tacos Al Pastor are made on a Spit…pork is grilled on a rotisserie and the meat is sliced off like they do when serving a Gyro…but I don’t have a Spit…or a rotisserie even…so I make mine in a slow cooker. No hassle…just delicious! I serve these on many a Taco Tuesday… Continue reading

Grilled Veggie Grain Bowl
I’ve been trying to serve more Meatless Meals lately…especially since reading an article about preventing Alzheimers. The article listed five main changes to make to your life that could possibly help…the first was exercise (done), the second was coffee, 70% chocolate, red wine (done, done and done), the third was sleep (working on it), the fourth was learning something new (again, working on it) and the last change to make was a more vegetable-based diet. After sharing the article with my family we all decided to incorporate these changes in our lives. Adding more vegetables is such an easy change and since I’m the main cook in the house it falls on me to try and make these Meatless Meals more tasty and original…I’ve already shared quite a few in the past so bear with me as I keep on experimenting!

Croque Madame
I first had a Croque Madame during our visit to Paris a few years ago and loved it! Today I’m sharing my version with a slight difference to the one I had – I’ve added Fontina cheese in addition to the classic Gruyère cheese bringing an even more nutty flavor to this delicious lunch… Continue reading
