Waldorf Chicken Salad Mini Croissant Sandwiches

| Heidi


So my Hubby is a CPA and this time of year his firm is hopping with tax returns! During this season I always make lunch on Fridays for the wonderful people who work with and for him. Last Friday I made little sandwiches filled with a version of Waldorf Salad. Since all the girls wanted the recipe, I decided to blog it for them. I did end up using an ingredient I had never used before. Needing to make 20 of these little gems and finding that one whole rotisserie chicken wasn’t enough I went to my Covid cupboard and pulled out some canned chicken I had purchased at Sam’s Club. I was hesitant to use them since I have never used canned chicken before, but was surprised how well they enhanced and stretched the salad. I love happy accidents! Continue reading →

I haven’t bought a frozen pizza in a long, long time but we had some leftover Ciabatta bread from the weekend and I was craving pizza so I put together this Diablo Ciabatta Pizza that delivered the crunch that was craved…

Miso Crusted Swordfish Tacos With Gochujang Slaw & Pickled Cucumbers

| Heidi


I’ve always been picky about the types of fish I like to eat. One fish that I made poorly when I was young and learning how to cook was swordfish. Well, it’s a new year and with 30 years of cooking experience I was sure to have better success! So here I went again trying my hand at Swordfish… Wow! Delicious! My hubby finished his Taco and then finished the Swordfish Sticks! It’s a very meaty fish and good for flash frying. Yay, success after all those years! Continue reading →

I decided to share a recipe that was very easy…Penne Pesto…one of my go-to’s when the family is very hungry and dinner has to be ready in under 30 (actually 20!) minutes…

Philly Cheese Steak Deep Dish Pizza, 80’s Style

| Heidi

I wanted to make this cheese steak pizza because I see people making them but not the way I remember eating them when I lived in Philly in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Although controversial among cheese steak ‘purists’, this is how I loved them when I lived there. So I decided to make the pizza my way… enter… ‘Processed Cheese!’ After the pizza came out of the oven a lovely layer of melted processed cheese was poured all over this beautiful deep dish and I was transformed to 1989 all over again… Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Quick Night Baked Chicken Thighs

A few weeks ago I told you about one of my easy ‘go to’ dinners which led to my Egg White Frittata. Well this dinner doesn’t lead to any other meals, but it is super easy and super delicious for an I’m just too tired to cook night. Four ingredients, (not including salt & pepper), a 350° oven and 55 minutes. Continue reading →
