I will be making these for the Patriot’s football game with jalapeno’s from my garden. My plants are still producing, at least for another week, supposed to be another warm week around here. We have been having pub food the last few Sunday’s while the game is on. Just a few short years ago my husband and I pretty much steered clear of Jalapeno’s we … Continue reading Jalapeno Poppers
It is definitely soup season around here, I think they were predicting our first frost. That’s crazy for middle of September but not unheard of. It was 39’F yesterday morning and I did start to close or at least lower most of the windows we had open. I haven’t made this one is a while but It will be on the menu today. I am … Continue reading Sausage Spinach Tortellini soup
I made this last night, my sister-in-law requested eggplant parmesan and this is my go-to recipe. It is the one that helped me change my mind that I didn’t like eggplant even though I had never even tried it. It is also the recipe that brought San Marzano canned tomatoes to my pantry. I do found this recipe in a Food Network Magazine. It is … Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan
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

While there are many ways to make a pie crust there is only one way to make these, what I grew up calling Curly Cues. There could … Continue reading Curly Cues from leftover dough
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

When it comes to salsa I am a little on the picky side. I don’t like it too hot or spicy. I like a little cilantro not a lot. I am not a fan of it being too chunky. Sitting here writing out what I like and don’t like kind of sounds like more than a little picky LOL. I love making my own from … Continue reading Mango Salsa

You may already have a plan of what you are making on this Father’s Day but if you don’t give these a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed. … Continue reading Buttermilk Waffles
