Trying to find a little inspiration this morning. The last few or more like several times it has been beyond painful trying to upload my photos from my camera to my laptop. This morning was no different and really puts a bummer on getting in the mood to want to write or even deal with electronics at all. Change of scenery has helped a little … Continue reading Sunshine Salad
I mentioned several times that my daughter has been planning and making a couple of meals a week some weeks not every week. But I love when I don’t have to do all the work. And it is work to come up with a plan, buy the ingredients, take those ingredients and make it into something the 3 of us would like to eat. That … Continue reading Seared Steak with Spicy Garlic-Miso Butter
Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day! It is a sunny start here in NH and I again woke to what sounds like a kitten outside my upstairs bedroom window. I have been hearing a bird that sounds like a kitten crying for at least a week now. I also hear it while sitting on the porch after work. I am guessing it must be feeding … Continue reading Chicken and Artichoke skewers with Herb dressing
This morning did not go how I had envisioned how it was going to go; not complaining just pointing out why I am so late in posting.

I awoke to my husband making breakfast and he invited his parents and my son and daughter-in-law … Continue reading slow-roasted pork shoulder with garlic and citrus

My daughter made this a few weeks ago from Ayesha Curry’s … Continue reading Gnocchi with Proscuitto and Fig Jam

I at least I really hope so. We should … Continue reading Pot Pie – pancetta, white beans and swiss chard
This is another recipe my daughter tried from Ayesha Curry’s cookbook. It is called Chicken Tagine in her cookbook. I personally do not own a tagine so I feel kinda bad keeping the word in the recipe, a tagine is a conical pottery cooking vessel, I am sure you have seen one if you have ever walked through a kitchen store. The top looks a … Continue reading Chicken Tagine
So a good friend of mine says that one of my super powers is to look at what I have on hand and make a meal with it. My freezer’s are too full so I have been trying to not shop, which a few of you know is hard for me; Stop laughing SF and KP. They know I LOVE to shop which I will … Continue reading grilled shrimp with polenta cake
I will say it is pretty nice that my daughter has been making a couple of dinners a week for the last few weeks. I love cooking but getting a little break here and there is pretty cool. I mean even if I didn’t write a weekly food blog and feel obligated to come up with something new for dinner. Making dinner 7 or say … Continue reading pineapple chicken fried rice
