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
What are you making today for the big game? Are you watching the game? Do you know what game I am talking about? Honestly it doesn’t matter to me who is playing in the Super Bowl, though it is definitely better when the Patriots are playing in it. We watch it every year and it’s not just for the commercials, halftime show or for all … Continue reading 4 Bean Chili
We are going to be watch the Patriots play later today. I know it’s not THE game but it’s one step closer and an important game and we seem to associate football games, well really all sports games with food. I made this creamy chicken chili and I will also be making come Cajun wings and just to pretend to be “healthier” some veggies and … Continue reading creamy chicken chili
My daughter and I were at the Asian market the other day. We tend to go once a month, it isn’t close by but worth the drive. She picked up a package of Korean Rice Cakes, I have never even heard of them before, but I am always up for a challenge. They were not a challenge at all, I would compare them to a … Continue reading Korean Rice Cakes and Chicken
It is definitely Fall around here, I had the kids come over yesterday to help me put away all the cushions from the patio, the potted plants were done because of the frost the other day so they needed to be tossed. Plus all the toddler toys need to find a home under cover; boy do toddler toys add up lol we do have the … Continue reading Taco Ground Turkey Soup

I am … Continue reading Sausage Spinach Tortellini soup
I started with wanting to make beef and broccoli and then I went to the garden. It’s been an OK year as I have eluded to in previous posts. Broccoli has always been a bumper crop, until this year. So my beef and broccoli turned into beef and vegetables, which was still very good and If needed to, I would add whatever vegetable I had … Continue reading Beef and Vegetables
My garden is producing a few things besides weeds and one of which is broccoli. My mother will like this story. When I was a kid I did not like green vegetables. I think all I would eat was cucumbers and ice berg lettuce. I can tell you exactly when I started eating broccoli it was June 1990. Why do I know this? I was … Continue reading Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
I had picked up a couple of ears of corn for dinner the other night. That may sound weird only because there is always a deal for 5 or 6 ears. There are only 2 of us most nights and we only eat an ear each so the others would go to waste; I don’t like waste. On rare occasions I will pick up the … Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Chicken
The asparagus in the garden is doing pretty good this year. It’s not a great patch but it gives us enough for us and there is nothing like going out and harvesting a few stalks for dinner. Here is a recipe I share with you quite a few years ago that if you didn’t make it then, you should think about it. It was super … Continue reading Fish en Papillote – baked fish in parchment
