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
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
This dish is so comfy on a cold day like today. And what better way to tell my Hubby how much I love him than with a hearty black bean chili. The beans are high in fiber so they are perfect to fill your belly and the smoked paprika just warms you on the inside. So delicious and excellent I can’t wait until my next bowl! Continue reading
So I’ve been told a big snow storm is heading my way and that always makes me want a yummy and comforting soup. My honey loves tortellini and potatoes, so today that is what is on the menu for lunch! Comfort all the way… Continue reading
Saturday night we had cocktails at our home with my parents and my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Fred. I love when they visit because we always have such a fun time. Well, before our dinner reservations at one of my favorite martini bars, I served cocktails and dips. I had just cooked a ham the day before, and the night before that we had my hubby’s excellent Dijon & Dill Salmon. So with my leftovers and some help from a few condiments I made some very tasty dips. Add some fresh toast points and the right presentation and you have a little party… Continue reading
I love to make fluffy omelets, but sometimes I want to just make a frittata. It’s basically the same thing only no folding or flipping. My hubby and I love Brussels sprouts and this is the season for them. So to power pack this breakfast, I shredded them to give this breakfast a real boost… Continue reading
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
This is a week that for a lot of people is a well thought out planned week. Only four days until Thanksgiving… if you count today! Well, I am counting today. I have 30 people coming for dinner so as you can imagine I have to be super organized in order to enjoy my guests and at the same time bring them the best dishes I can. There is a lot to be made, so I always allocate some dishes to the adult kids, nieces and nephews that are excited to be new at participating. When asked, what can I make or do?… I say, ‘can you make coleslaw and do you need a recipe?’ Or ‘how about an apple pie’… how about dinner rolls, ‘can you help set the table’. Any assistance is great on a day like Thanksgiving… Continue reading
