I saw a recipe online for zucchini and I had quite a few to use up this weekend. I think I should have sliced them thinner and used less of them. Scarpaccia in translation means “old shoe” or “bad shoe” google said it references the flat rustic appearance. Mine wasn’t as flat as it should have been. I also am not a fan of my … Continue reading Zucchini Scarpaccia
We here in NH are enjoying a lovely fourth of July weekend! The best day of the long weekend was definitely the 4th itself in my little hamlet. Not too hot, lots of sun and a great breeze to keep the bugs away. I had a couple of ears of corn leftover along with some broccoli in the fridge. I also had some chopped up … Continue reading Sauteed Broccoli and Corn

I am actually going to make this one when I am done writing this morning. It’s rainy out and I picked some Roma tomatoes, a couple of green peppers and a bunch of … Continue reading Garden Salsa
Sitting here this morning trying to figure out what to blog about. This salad looks so good and doesn’t disappoint. Before my husband went out to sand the porch deck he asked me what I was going to make him for breakfast. I immediately said leftover pizza. He said if I put a fried egg on it. I said ummmm no! I started thinking and … Continue reading Panzanella Salad

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

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

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
