This is one of those meals that is perfect for the upcoming cold weekend. All the ingredients were placed in the Slow Cooker in the evening before we went to bed. It slow-cooked all night and we made some delicious sandwiches for lunch. The brisket was so flavorful and tender!

My idea of fast food when I was raising my kids and too busy to plan a meal was to pick up a rotisserie chicken and go through the Wendy’s drive through for baked potatoes with broccoli (no cheese). It was with leftover chicken that this dish was born. Simple, delicious and a winner with the kids. I still use rotisserie chickens when I am short on time because they are so full of flavor. Rotisseries also make great chicken stock for soups and sauces… Continue reading
Sometimes a grilled cheese tastes like the best tasting sandwich in the whole world. As a little girl in kindergarten back when kindergarten was 1/2 a day, I would come home and want a grilled cheese sandwich (American cheese) and tomato soup (Campbell’s). Although I wouldn’t pass on this American delight still, I think my palate has heightened a little. I’ve said it before in a post last year… Wow! Last year? It was when I shared my Creamy Roasted Tomato & Garlic Soup with Grilled Cheese on Rosemary Garlic Bread….Well, today I decided to incorporate the roasted tomato into the sandwich with a smoked Gouda… Continue reading
Happy New Year! Heidi and I had a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends & fun! We hope you all enjoyed your holidays as well!
We’re starting the New Year with a MEATLESS MONDAY! What better way to start the year than by eating a healthy meal; especially after eating all those roasts and high-caloric foods during the holidays. This Roasted Vegetable Lasagna is not only meatless, but also noodle-less…the roasted eggplant and zucchini act as the noodle – and by roasting them the flavor is intensified… Continue reading

I love to make fluffy omelets, but sometimes I want to just make a frittata. It’s basically the same thing only no folding or flipping. My hubby and I love Brussels sprouts and this is the season for them. So to power pack this breakfast, I shredded them to give this breakfast a real boost… Continue reading
It’s Taco Tuesday! My boys have been enjoying Buffalo Chicken everything lately; tenders, pizza, stromboli. So for this Taco Tuesday I decided to turn our tacos into Buffalo Chicken Tacos! Seasoned ground chicken with a buffalo sauce and a creamy blue cheese blend…good stuff! Here’s to a new addition on the Taco Menu… Continue reading
Ok, ok… I know this might seem a bit parochial, but I think it’s a real time saver for the holidays. Meatball Sliders! My mother always fried her meatballs before she put them in the sauce, but I don’t. I put them into the sauce raw and let them flavor the sauce. Take note, I don’t use a fatty meat. I use a lean beef. Anyway, if you’re like me and have lots of visitors over the holidays…this is a quick and simple dish to have around. Who doesn’t like a meatball sub?! The perfect bite for you or your guests… Continue reading
Here is another appetizer that my honey and I had to ‘test‘ for our Christmas guests. It’s a hard job, but someone had to do it… Continue reading
