I was going to make split pea soup with the ham bone from Easter. The only obstacle with this is only 3 of the 7 people that I would serve it to actually like it. Some of us would eat it but it’s not our first or even second choice. I would have had to pick up the split peas and I have tried to … Continue reading Red Lentil Soup
I know it is Spring around here but the cold weather suggests otherwise so a nice and comforting Pot Roast was on the menu last week and could be this weekend as well. I think it was a high of 30 yesterday and while the sun in shining and lovely looking out it says it is 40, but it’s a cold and windy 40 degrees. … Continue reading Oven Pot Roast
Here I was spending too much time on my phone and no prospects for dinner last night. Scrolling along and I came across this pasta recipe where I stopped scrolling for a minute to watch it. Paused it and went through the cupboards and fridge in my mind “do I have everything to make this?” well not exactly but I can make it work. Work … Continue reading Penne Strascicate
I have made this dish several times and where I didn’t make anything new this week I want to share this with you again in hopes that you give it a try.

So I may have mentioned a time or two that I am not a fan of mushrooms, the texture is a little odd to me and they can be really earthy. I also have a thing for green beans, not a fan. They also taste way to earthy to me. I do understand what mushrooms can bring to the dish and I will use them … Continue reading Beef Stroganoff
Running a little late this morning, not just in writing this but in all things. I really have to go grocery shopping sooner rather than later, the fridge is looking a little bare. Asked the hubby what he needed for the week and what did he want for Sunday dinner. He asked for beef stroganoff, seriously I have never made that, he was shocked, it … Continue reading Beef Bourguignon
Sometimes simple is best. I haven’t been in the mood for a lot of cooking of late. I haven’t really analyzed what’s going on but sometimes I get into a little bit of a funk and things start shutting down. I think the first to go is my desire to get into the kitchen and start cooking. I usually enjoy being in the kitchen and … Continue reading Spaghetti Carbonara
I am sure you are almost done with turkey; I know I am. I was “reeling” on my phone the other day and saw a question “what is the most overrated food on Thanksgiving?” hands down it has to be the turkey I know it is for me and when I asked my husband he said the same. I have made it so many different … Continue reading Fried chicken thigh and a pickled caper dill sauce

It was a beautiful day and many beautiful tributes to a beautiful woman. She will be missed dearly by so many! My husband and I have been living with … Continue reading Garlic Herb Crusted Center Cut Pork Loin
