This is one of the things on the menu today that I will be making, I am sure it it not a healthy option but I think it is a slightly healthier than chicken wings, OK I know that’s a low hurdle but the fam has been discussing how to pay more attention to our health. My husband made chili for the game today; albeit … Continue reading General Tso’s Cauliflower
Sitting here on the porch in a fleece with the dog and my husband. Dog is pecking at me to throw his tennis ball, which he fails to realize that he actually has to let go of it in order for me to throw it… Husband is on my FB marketplace looking for something, anything that peaks his interest. I love seeing ads for tractors, … Continue reading Banana Fritter – Kuih Kodok
Here is a recipe I posted about several years ago that I thought was good enough to share again. Especially since cider is a plenty around here in New Hampshire this time of year. Plus I didn’t make anything new this week to share with you and I feel I have been sharing a lot of cooking and not baking. I do love me some … Continue reading Apple Cider Doughnuts
For those of you who know what Lumpia is bare with me as I share my story. Firstly I did not make them and I do not have a recipe to share per say. Lumpia is a Filipino spring roll that one of my daughters co-worker; when he found out that she had been to the Philippines and loved the food he shared some of … Continue reading Lumpia – taste testing

I hope you are all doing well – I seem to be saying that with almost every blog, every email, every text and when I happen to see someone; though that is pretty rare as I work from home and don’t really need to leave the house very often. Pretty sure 2020 is going to be a year of reflection, a year of hope, a … Continue reading General Tso’s Cauliflower
We are going to celebrate May 5th aka cinco de mayo with a little taco party for family and friends. While it may look like a lot of work it really isn’t too bad. Your time will be spent mostly dicing and slicing and a little frying. The reward far out weighs an hour or so prepping for your party. And pulling off a party … Continue reading Taco bar – fish, chicken, beef and shrimp
It is a pretty big day here in New England. The Patriots are playing for the AFC championship later today. We were supposed to get 1 to 2 feet of snow I guess at one point they said 30+ inches. But it looks like 6-7 inches, guess it was fake news. I really wanted at least a foot; I mean I feel if it’s going … Continue reading Crispy Potato Gnocchi & Pesto
Super quick dinner that everyone will love; if they don’t you are probably reading / following the wrong blog. Or maybe should rethink who you eat dinner with – OK I know you can’t probably stop feeding your kids but you can definitely make them take the “no thank you” bite and they might just like it enough to keep going. You might be thinking … Continue reading Scallopini – Milanese – Piccata
I hope you had a wonderful day/weekend however you spent your time! We had 9 for Thanksgiving dinner and today (Saturday) will be 11 for homemade pasta (another personal cooking class for my sister-in-law) and Bolognese. For as far back as I can remember my family took all the leftovers from Thanksgiving and made them into a casserole of sorts. Basically take a 9×13 container … Continue reading Thanksgiving Leftover Egg Roll
