This is a meatloaf I used to make every week in college. I would slice it for sandwiches for lunch. Back then I was on a very tight budget so ketchup was the sauce… no three cheeses and fennel! I actually served it to Linda for lunch on our recent visit together. She said it was delicious! Continue reading
This is one of those recipes that hit me when looking through my pantry and fridge and having only 20 minutes to get something together. The end result was incredibly tasty… Continue reading
If you’re anything like me you are always cooking too much! Last month I made Coconut Curry Chicken. Well, I made it again this weekend and frequently my dinners turn into soups for lunch. I don’t usually post them, but this soup was so good it merits being made just for the soup. A real winner in my book. Continue reading
During the summer months we try to head down to the beach for at least a week…I think we’ve visited almost every beach-town in the state of NJ! Some years we go solo and sometimes we rent houses with family. A few years ago my brother and his family invited us to share a house with them in Bethany Beach, MD. It’s always a good time when our two families meet – our kids are right around the same ages and have a blast! My brother’s wife Maria and I are good friends – she loves to cook just as much as Heidi and I do! This particular summer we shared the cooking and Maria made a fabulous chili that everyone enjoyed. The kicker was adding a jar of Spaghetti Sauce…what a nice addition that was. Today I’m sharing an adapted version of her recipe; using ground chicken, adding in some fresh garlic and mixing in fire roasted tomatoes. Maria used DelMonte Spaghetti Sauce which I haven’t been able to locate in my area so I use Classico Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic Spaghetti Sauce and it sure hits the spot…Hope this meets with your approval Maria!

I have said it before and I will say it again… I love Mac & Cheese! I have so many crazy ways floating around in my head about how I believe it would be good that I’ve made a long list to experiment. When they make the cut, I will share them with you. Well, this one surely did! And it’s a perfect edition for our Meatless Monday series not to mention our Mac & Cheese Mondays… Continue reading
We had some leftover colored malted milk balls from Easter so we decided to turn them into Malted Milk Brownies for dessert. My son Gabe called them stupendous – thanks for the inspiration Gabe – so glad you loved ’em! Here’s hoping you love ’em too… Continue reading
Ceviche is one of my favorite ways to eat scallops, tuna, salmon… well just about any fish that can be made into a ceviche! The first time I had it was in a Cuban restaurant in Chicago. In Chicago for only a few days, I went back to eat it three times. After I got home I craved it, but no restaurant where I live served it, so I had to remember the flavor profile and learned to make it. Now I have it as often as I like. Continue reading
On Monday we cooked up some delicious Italian Turkey-Capocollo Meatballs…with the leftover meatballs we made some fantastic meatball sandwiches. A hearty sandwich filled to the brim with freshly sliced Parmesan cheese, Italian Meatballs, sauce & grated Parmesan. We love our Wawa meatball sandwiches but ‘Man, oh Man’ were these so much better!

With Spring just around the corner it’s salad time… and the blend of the baby beet greens, strawberries and lemon vinaigrette is so fresh I think I’m in love with this combination! The vinaigrette has a real lemon kick and the strawberries are sweet… Yum!!! Continue reading
