I haven’t really been thinking about the holidays just yet. I literally looked at an actual calendar earlier today to see how many more days I have to get my stuff together. Guess I need to giddy up a bit. So on my grocery shopping list today is quite a few items I will need for my Thanksgiving dinner. I find it a little less … Continue reading Chicken Chili – slow cooker
I love my family of foodies. My son called me Friday night to ask me what I was doing on Saturday. I guess he and his wife were going to go to a dumpling festival that ended up being cancelled. So they decided to make their own dumpling “festival” of sorts in my kitchen. I LOVE dumplings; I have made several different kinds and I … Continue reading Egg Rolls with Asian dipping sauces

Pre Covid we used to head North to Montreal which is about a 4 hour trip bt car at least 3 or 4 times a year for the last several years. We haven’t been back but miss it so. We have to stop being so stupid busy all the time and make more of an effort to just jump in the car and go. Every … Continue reading Crispy Potato Gnocchi & Pesto

I just pulled them so … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard with Sweet Italian Sausage

I have gotten a few zucchini and summer squash so I wanted to make something for dinner the other night using up a couple of them. This recipe is a keeper and you need to check it out. Very easy to make, a one … Continue reading Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Squash
Current situation is enjoying a cup of tea looking out over Megansett Habor in North Falmouth. We have had a lovely weekend with family at the Mastria Estate high above the harbor, I don’t believe they call it an Estate but I am. It is old, grand with a private beach and deserves the distinction. This is my fourth visit to their beautiful home and … Continue reading Clam Boil – Megansett Harbor
I have heard the name of this dish a few times. I have never had nor tried to make it. Honestly I don’t believe I ever gave it a second thought; that is until I watched someone make it on Guys Grocery Games last week. Then I go to the thought of; I can make that no problem. And if you haven’t you can too … Continue reading Cacio e Pepe with Shrimp
Are there some recipes you’ve always wanted to try but never do thinking they are too hard or there’s an ingredient you don’t love so you stay away? This is one of those that sounded cool but I am not a fan of mushrooms and it felt or more appropriately sounded a little above my pay grade. I couldn’t have been more wrong, it was … Continue reading Coq Au Vin
Happy Father’s Day!!! This is probably not the first thing that comes to mind of what to make for the men in your life. Personally my husband would and does love this. When you think of Father’s Day – I am sure you think of Grilling something, technically you could grill some fish and spoon this mango salsa over it. I am pretty sure it … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa
