So today is already starting out by losing an hour; lets hope it gets better from here. I have never been a fan of daylight savings; it totally messes with my whole being. I have a hard enough time sleeping and twice a year having to jolt the system to a new schedule for what is now not really necessary seems to me we really … Continue reading Chicken cutlets in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce
This is the first meal this year that was something we haven’t already had a million times over the years. I guess I just haven’t been interested in cooking yet. We have been very busy but we are always busy so that’s no excuse. It might also have something to do with my stupid cough that is better but not completely gone. I start the … Continue reading Pasta Sausage Squash and Swiss Chard
I have said it before and I will say it over and over again; soup is good for the soul! Hope you have a safe happy healthy and prosperous New Year! I have had a cough since early November and I am sick of it! It started fast and furious and then subsided for a bit. Christmas day it decided to come back and bring … Continue reading Leftover Prime Rib Soup
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend. My husband and I are getting out of dodge for a little while. We are heading South for some sun, fun and relaxation! We are probably some of the small few at the airport not “technically” traveling for the actual holiday. I am writing this post a week early knowing I will not be making much … Continue reading Crispy Risotto cake for breakfast – yes please!
I have been using up some PTO the last couple of weeks with long weekends and had some grand illusion that I would spend at least some of it making food, taking pictures, writing and banking a few blogs in case the holiday season got a little out of control and I couldn’t write. Then I got this fast and furious cold that won’t go … Continue reading Creamy Alfredo Sauce
It is a soup kind of day in my world today! what does soup mean to you? Soup to me is fridge clearing, a welcoming stove top aroma and a warm comforting hug in a cup, It is just plain home to me! I am writing this while having my morning cup of tea about an hour before I generally post for you and yes … Continue reading Pasta e Fagioli
So I signed up for another local cook off contest. This one was a chili cook off and my family loves the chili I make so why not! However there were 6 surprise ingredients (see above) that I had to incorporate into my chili recipe or come up with a new one. If you want to make this chili without the secret ingredients, you will … Continue reading Chili – cook off contest
Over the years I have processed my tomatoes using different methods. Freezing them as sauces, freezing them as chunks and cooking down and canning them as well. I can’t say that I loved anything that I have done before or that I have a true plan of what to do with all of them.. This year I have so far made salsa, spaghetti sauce and … Continue reading Quick garden fresh tomato sauce
Pickles are done – sort of! I emptied the fridge and made 19 jars of pickles. I went out to the garage and there was a basket full of them that hadn’t made their way into the house yet UGH! Not entirely sure we need more pickles but looks like I might have some Christmas gifts started wink wink! My daughter is a cookbook collector … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard & Burrata
I believe I mentioned a few posts ago how I was going to leave the entire garden to my husband. I am basically still being true to my word. I have only harvested a few asparagus and only weeded that bed. He has spent more time out there more this years than in years past and has harvested cauliflower, lettuce, radishes and now Swiss Chard. … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard and Sausage
