I made these the other night and they were so easy and full of flavor you have got to try them out. We are a meat and potato family for the most part. But some times I want something a little different than potatoes or even rice. I rarely ever make pasta for the “starch” part of dinner but we had already had rice and … Continue reading one pot parmesan garlic noodles
Memorial Day is for honoring veterans firstly but is also synonymous with kicking off the summer season. When people breakout the sunscreen AND the bug spray. At least that is how it is up here in New Hampshire. We start planting our gardens and breakout the patio furniture and grills. It’s also when we start making our favorite potato salad and pasta salad. Hot dog … Continue reading Greek Salad
Are you ready? Have you started? Do you at least have a plan? My daughter will be making this lovely salad – here is a link to the recipe. Brussels sprouts apple and pomegranate salad I am going to make this soup again this year – I like to serve a soup to begin the meal and when that is done, I slice the bird … Continue reading Thanksgiving ideas before and after
I hope you have a wonderful day! When I initially share this recipe back in 2016; sounds forever ago I know but this is a fantastic salad that comes together very quickly and is great to share with family and friends. If you have a vegetable garden you probably have almost everything right outside your door. Back in 2016 everything you see here was … Continue reading Summer Garden Salad
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

Thankfully he is home now and doing fine but we have had several family members staying with us over the whole ordeal. I didn’t make anything “new” to share with you but we definitely made and ate well and currently my husband is … Continue reading Refried Beans by guest cook Deborah
Good morning and Happy Easter! I hope everyone is hanging in there, I know I say that every week now but I don’t know what else to say. I am going on week 5 of working from home, I think I have left my sanctuary maybe 5 times over the last month. The last time it was for my husband he injured himself and ended … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes
OK so maybe the title didn’t grab your attention but let me tell you these were melt in your mouth delicious. A few weeks ago I was going through a bunch of recipes and making my grocery list. Sometimes this works out fabulously and sometimes not so much. I was a little to over ambitious with how many things I had wanted to make and … Continue reading Braised Leeks and Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Slaw – who knew that little four letter word causes a love hate and tolerate feeling. Why is that? I personally like to try all kinds of slaw wherever I can find it. My husband is on the other end of this, maybe not all the way to hate but more in the lines of tolerate. Probably because I make it and put it on … Continue reading Three Apple Slaw
While it may be the end of summer for some, I am not going down without a fight. My garden is still giving me lots of veggies; it even has finally snapped out of it and we have fresh garden tomatoes. I have made a ridiculous amount of kosher dill pickles. My zucchini plants did not do well this year, maybe a dozen in … Continue reading Chow Chow relish – water bath canning
