It’s MEATLESS MONDAY! Eggs are a great source of protein for Meatless Mondays. I was in the mood for Italian today, but didn’t want any pasta, so I decided to make eggs with an Italian theme. I served these eggs with broiled Asiago & garlic bread. The yoke mixed with the pesto really added something special to this dish. It was both filling and delicious… Continue reading
Arroz con Pollo was the first Latin meal I ever tried. Many years ago, I was visiting my husband’s family in Panama and was served this simply delicious meal. I tried recreating it when we got home. After many years of tweaking the recipe, and although it may not be made the same way as they make it in Panama, I believe that the end result is perfection! Allowing the chicken to braise in its own juices for an hour tenderizes it and adds tons of flavor. I hope you’ll give it a go… Continue reading
We have eight pepper plants that are still yielding a lot of peppers. So I decided to roast some of them the same way I roast my red peppers. Then I stuffed them a little different than usual and re-roasted them… They were so delicious that I can’t wait to make them again…

I love this time of year! The days are warm with a beautiful breeze and the evenings are just a little cool. Fall is approaching, the garden is slowing down and the Brussels sprouts will be here soon. This is the time of year when I like to make my own tomato sauce. Although we grow a lot of tomatoes, we did not grow any Roma tomatoes this year. So off I went to the growers market to buy a bushel of meaty Roma tomatoes. Just a tip for my sauce, I do not use any herbs in this first round because I use the sauce in so many different ways. When I am making a dish, that is the time I choose the seasoning and herbs. Just salt and pepper for this round… Continue reading
