Meatball Sliders
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

They would be the perfect breakfast to add to your seasonal menu… Continue reading

Salmon Burgers
We’ve been going to a lot of Holiday Parties lately…So much rich food…Tonight we have a night off from the party-circuit and we’re taking it easy. We needed something healthy that has flavor – because you know, sometimes healthy is boring! But not these Salmon Burgers…they are healthy – an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D and selenium along with niacin, protein, phosphorus, and vitamin B6, not to mention choline, pantothenic acid, biotin, and potassium. Wow! Who knew one thing could have so much good in it…No wonder it’s a favorite among so many people. Okay, so these Salmon Burgers hit the healthy spot, but do they have flavor? Yes! These Salmon Burgers have a wonderful Latin flavor…Hope you give them a try… Continue reading

Homemade Gnocchi In A Classic Marinara Sauce
Okay, I think it’s fair to say that since Thanksgiving I’ve been on a sort of Italian kick. So today I made my homemade Gnocchi. I used to make this with my daughter as my helper because it is a process to make and her favorite dish. Alas, she is grown, moved away and enthralled in planning a wedding… so today I made it alone. No worries…with a few altered steps (the freezer) it was a cake walk… a messy cake walk, but still cake…well gnocchi, but you get what I’m saying… Continue reading

These long pasta ribbons are perfect for this roasted butternut squash & sage sauce on this cool December Meatless Monday… Continue reading

Bundle Wrapped Pear Salad
If you’re anything like me you are already gearing up for the Christmas Holiday. I’m tweaking ideas for the many dinners we will be having and the easy dishes for the Big Day! It’s good to have a trial run with your recipes that you intend to make for your guests if you want to do new things. Knowing in advance how it turns out will just make you look like a pro to family and friends. It will also tell you if it’s too complicated for a crowd and how you can make it more simple. My hubby and I love this appetizer and we sometimes have it for our entire meal. I’m making this as the salad for my Christmas table with one pear instead of two, but it can also be served on a platter as an appetizer. I hope you enjoy this simple trial run with me… Continue reading
