Chicken Chili in the slow cooker

I hope you are able to keep in good spirits during this trying time in our world.

Pantry and Freezer time

I started writing this morning about how I opt to play Switzerland and play nice in the sandbox on social media and mostly in “real” life. I learned that behavior very early on in my life. I had three paragraphs written and then deleted the whole thing. I am at a loss to what we are seeing in our world today. I don’t understand the … Continue reading Pantry and Freezer time

Chicken cutlets in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce

Portuguese Braised Pork and Clams

  Last weekend I made up for the lack of spending time in the kitchen. I almost made too many things if that is possible. We had leftovers all week long which for us is not a bad thing.

Pasta Sausage Squash and Swiss Chard

This is the first meal this year that was something we haven’t already had a million times over the years. I guess I just haven’t been interested in cooking yet.

I start the … Continue reading Pasta Sausage Squash and Swiss Chard

Pork Belly Ramen is what’s for dinner

The countdown to Claus is coming quick! I know it is because the calendar says so and I have an enormous tree in my bay window with presents under it.
