I was looking in my refrigerator trying to decide what to make for lunch. I knew I had chicken breasts and a lot of lemons, so I thought…Okay, why not a lemon & pepper chicken salad? Not the same old chicken salad – this chicken salad is refreshing with a little bite. I am definitely making this for the next girls’ lunch. Continue reading
While we were in Italy enjoying all those lovely meals at restaurants, one thing that was almost always on the table was a Balsamic Glaze…granted, theirs were in bottles which can be bought in the vinegar aisle of the supermarket and I even have one in my pantry…but for today’s Balsamic Glazed Salmon I went old school and made my own…but I have to say I cheated just a little…I used the microwave! The end result would rival any Italian restaurant…here, try some… Continue reading
The garden is almost done… except for the Brussels sprouts… Anyway, I still had onions, potatoes and peppers to add to my breakfast this morning. On the QT, in college I used to eat corned beef hash out of a can!!! Not any more! Such a yummy breakfast. Continue reading

The other great thing about this salad is that it gets better as it sits… Continue reading

I remember my Mom-Mom used to make one – she cooked it for so long that the beef became tough but the gravy was so delicious…I’ve tweaked her original recipe just a bit over the years; adding more flavor, cooking the beef to tender perfection and still enjoying the delicious gravy!

I have several spaghetti squash from my garden and this is the only way I’m going to eat them. SO good!!! My Hubby and I ate every bite and wished we had more. Continue reading
Happy Halloween! Before the kiddos head out to trick or treat tonight why not fill their tummies with a quick and easy flatbread that’s both kid and adult friendly and super healthy. Later they can snack on their goodies and you won’t feel any guilt picking out a treat or two from their overabundance! Continue reading
Now that we’re deep into Autumn, I love to use all those great root veggies in a salad. They’re terrific tossed in olive oil and roasted to perfection. Add some freshly made toasted bread cubes (think large croutons!) and you’ve got a great side dish for any week night meal! Continue reading
