This time of year begs for lots of little treats and more time to make them. This is a no fuss appetizer that will please the crowds, your wallet and your time! They are a cousin to the Cheddar Crab Muffins that Linda blogged earlier this year… Continue reading
The cooling weather calls for warm chilis and soups…This week Heidi and I will be sharing a few of our favorite Fall recipes that keep us warm on these chilly days! On today’s menu is a chili made with pork and Italian sausage and blackeyed peas instead of kidney beans. By changing one or two items in a recipe you’re able to create something new and experiment with different flavor combinations. Keeping it simple…yet tasty! Continue reading
We have eight pepper plants that are still yielding a lot of peppers. So I decided to roast some of them the same way I roast my red peppers. Then I stuffed them a little different than usual and re-roasted them… They were so delicious that I can’t wait to make them again…
The very best part of having a garden is when you start to have an abundance of vegetables. This morning my husband picked 6 beautiful green papers from our many pepper plants. I was so excited. The very first thing I make with our peppers every year is stuffed peppers. I love them! Like with my lasagna, I like to have a Bechamel sauce as the base. I have found this adds considerably in countering the sometimes bitterness of green peppers while enhancing the richness of the tomato sauce on the pallet. I always make extra for leftovers. Also in abundance right now are our several squash plants. So you will see I stabilized the stuffed peppers with zucchini spears. I hope you get the chance to make this delicious and unforgettable dish… Continue reading

I decided to make it more like a burger and it worked really well… a little less cumbersome to eat too. Continue reading
I love making appetizers for dinner instead of a whole meal sometimes. In this case rather than make several small appetizer plates, I made one large appetizer that became a meal. My fabulous husband said it was out of this world and I have to agree with him. You can make this for a crowd with smaller mushrooms, or for an entree with larger mushrooms. Continue reading
My Husband LOVES Italian food! And when he gets his hankering, I get busy. There is nothing quite as fabulous as fresh pasta. Don’t get me wrong, we use the box a lot, but when it’s just me and him, the love gets cooking. About twelve years ago I saw a pasta machine in a second hand store that was still in the box and had never been used, so needless to say I bought it. I had never made pasta before, but I learned. Even though I have the Kitchen Aid to help with the mixing, I opt for the old cranking machine. Continue reading
