Last night around 7 o’clock I was so tired…I didn’t really want to make dinner, but we were hungry and going out wasn’t an option…I was just too darn tired. So after a trip to the fridge and the pantry, I made a quick inventory of what I could put together…Pasta!!! As it turned out, it was absolutely delicious, super simple and just what the doctor ordered!!! Continue reading
This is a dish I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I used to make it for my kids when they were teenagers. It was always a good go-to when they were on the run. I made it for myself today and it was as good as I remember. Simple and refreshing. I used to put it on a pita for them. Continue reading
Wow was this a great salad! I love Brussels sprouts and they are just about ready for harvest. My Hubby won’t pick them until after the first frost… It makes them a little sweeter. In any case, I can still buy them even if home grown is better. Continue reading
I love using the veggies in my garden every summer. This soup is so good and if you don’t have a garden, you can pick up all these great veggies at your local farmers market. I roasted most of the veggies – it’s so good, so healthy… I could eat this every day. Continue reading
I used to get this pizza in Philadelphia and I loved it. No shortage on garlic -it was really good. Well I was thinking about it this week and decided I would try to make it how I remembered it. Mission accomplished! Continue reading
Taking this dish out of Linda’s playbook, I decided to make a risotto. With so much zucchini being produced in the garden, I am actively engaged at using them in as many ways as possible. Well, this was a winner! So full of flavor and depth. The rice soaks up every bit of flavor you add and richly delivers them to you with every bite… Continue reading
Born out of my love for sundried tomatoes (and not wanting to turn on the broiler)… I made this cheese spread to be a cold version of my Baked Sundried Tomato Dip. It was a real hit with my guests and a definite go to for me in the future. Continue reading
I love the variety of colors you can get from the world of vegetables. My hubby and I are committed to non GMO’s in our garden and in our refrigerator as often as we are able. It’s amazing the plethora of different varieties within the same family of veggies. So much different today than the plain veggies we had growing up. Continue reading
I love chicken especially when its been pounded paper thin, breaded then cooked to perfect tenderness. Chicken breasts tend to be a little dry. My hubby and I prefer the thigh, but when I serve it like a cutlet, it’s always a welcomed dish. I have also found over the years it is an economical and versatile way to use the breast because it serves many more people this way and you can change the seasoning in the breading and the sauce combinations. Today it was made with a simple reduction of white wine and shallots… Continue reading
