I am always up for a hearty, heart happy soup. Cauliflower is so jam packed with goodness I could eat it every day. By roasting it you retain a lot of the cauliflower flavor and nutrients. Add roasted garlic and chicken and you have heaven in a bowl. Continue reading
Years ago my parents gave us a Bread Maker machine for Christmas. I can tell you that this is one great gift and it has gotten a lot of use! We’ve made all kinds of breads, specialty breads, pretzels & cinnamon rolls…but by far, everyone’s favorite and the most-often thing to come out of our Bread Maker machine is pizza dough! In just 120 minutes we’ve got two ready-to-go pizza dough…thick or thin, your choice…toppings, your choice. But always a winner! I’ll be sharing a meatless pizza on Friday – so stay tuned!

Whoever thought of putting food on a stick was a genius. It’s great for parties or just because you can. I’m having another girls get together and wanted something easy, yummy and reasonably healthy. All my friends have had my Rosemary Chicken Satay, so this time I’m giving them a little crunch with the panko crust and a little sweet with the honey mustard. Continue reading
This traditional chicken soup warms the cockles of your heart…and your hangover, if you’ve got one! I first had a Sancocho in Panama many years ago and have a bowl every time we go back to visit. Recently I saw frozen Yucca in our local supermarket and popped it in my cart to make this delicious soup at home. It’s my husband’s favorite reminder of home and he was so happy that I made it for him! We usually serve Sancocho over a bowl of cooked rice…yum! Continue reading
As today is the third Friday in Lent – for today’s meatless dish I’ve made a scrumptious Roasted Tomato Salad…The flavors of this salad combined with the Honey Dijon Vinaigrette is so good that I usually serve myself a second helping…and wish I could take even more! Continue reading
This is a dish my mother made for us growing up. Probably created from one of those 70’s throwback cookbooks. I often cringe at some of the ingredients they recommended. Obviously ‘processed’ was the star in every dish. It was surely economical for a family of six however, and mother was always health conscious. I will admit that when I was 7 and this plate was put in front of me… I know I made an awful face!… Alas, we grow up and learn to love the very dishes we shunned as kids. I made this dish today for lunch and my Hubby said it was absolutely delicious! Continue reading
I’ve been to several different restaurants recently that have Brunch Burgers on their menus. Although I didn’t order them I was intrigued by the addition of the fried egg. So in today’s burger I’ve assembled the flavors of a breakfast sausage and added maple bacon, fried egg and tomato jam (from Monday). WOW! I’ve been won over!
Many thanks to Maria & Rob for their gift of a Mortar & Pestle – this is it’s first use! Thanks guys~ Continue reading
Mac & Cheese is a real treat and can be made so many different ways. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers. When I made the wonton ravioli I was left with too much ricotta cheese so I decided to turn it into mac & cheese. Placing them in individual sized dishes is a great way to portion control. I added a little love for my honey with a Parmesan cracker heart. Easy and quick to make. Continue reading
My sister in law Soraya once gave me a jar of homemade Tomato Marmalade – it was so very good! We used it as an appetizer with crackers and cream cheese…yummy! So I recently decided to try my hand at making it…but as I like things simple and quick, and I did not want to make a lot, I started with a can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes. The results were divine! We used half of this delicious jam with crackers and cream cheese and the other half I used for a recipe I’ll be sharing on Wednesday! Continue reading
