OK so you are probably wondering when she is going to stop writing about her damn garden; but this year was a super year and I need to use up or give away what I pick; plus the season is winding down. It is Labor day weekend, there are school buses everywhere and we are supposedly not supposed to wear white anymore – pfff I … Continue reading Easy no-fry Eggplant Parm & Garden Salsa
Dice, slice, swirl, chop, shred, scoop, steam, saute, grill, bake, fry – I am pretty sure I have exhausted the ways to use a zucchini. I honestly never really gave it much thought of how versatile this little green squash actually is. It is quite impressive the different forms it can take and still add a lot to the party. I would love to hear … Continue reading Ground Turkey Asian Stir Fry
What to do with the leftover corn on the cob? Not sure if your local grocery store requires you to buy a 6 – 12 ears of corn; well require might be a “strong” word it’s more like encourage you to buy more ears than you need. You can buy 6 for say $2.99 or you can buy it for a buck an ear. So … Continue reading Fresh Corn Tomato Bacon Salad
Why I love lettuce wraps – I believe my first taste was about 5 or 6 years ago and our waiter said it was his favorite app at PF Changs.

We all really … Continue reading Turkey Lettuce Wraps – give them a try
I need to start by saying I try to keep my online media presence pretty low key, well actually I do the same in my day to day “real” life as well. I think I share just enough information about me and also about my family. I try to not “offend” or “overshare” too much and I don’t normally talk about the 3 hot topics; … Continue reading Pesto Turkey Pasta
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!! Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with using some pre-packaged items from pantry. I have a few staples that I use, albeit probably not very often but not because I don’t want to, I really kind of forget to open the cupboard. We are meat and potato kind of people so I sometimes space that I have rice in … Continue reading Rice Pilaf plus plus
I think I have finally found something I am passionate about. I mean truly passionate about. I love playing golf, I love gardening, I love traveling and exploring; but what gets me really excited is food. It only took me around 20 years to figure out that I get super excited about the experience of and being around food. I mean it has not always … Continue reading Creamy Garlic Chicken
Just the name of the recipe intrigued me. I have never cooked with chocolate; baked, eaten and eaten even more chocolate but never cooked with it. And to be perfectly honest I still really haven’t. I didn’t want to run out to the store so I used a beer we had in the fridge that I thought most identified with what they were looking for … Continue reading Chocolate stout chili
I am on another trek to try to empty out the fridge and freezer since I can’t fit another thing in any of them (I have another one in the garage) yet I still seem to go to the store and buy more food to make some recipe I just saw. I think I have a problem. This recipe I happen to have had everything … Continue reading Cod, sausage and fennel cioppino
