This coming week is going to be a crazy cold one around here. They are saying that Tuesday will be a high of 11 degrees F. and of course I have a dentist appointment first thing in the morning; yeah me. Sounds like a hot soup kind of day/week. Here is one warms the belly and I love but don’t make it very often because … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Last night I was watching the last season of The Great British Baking show and the task was to make 2 different flavor profile quiche. I know this might come as a shock but I have never made quiche before; I know what is my damage. Honestly I haven’t really had any that blew my skirt up; if you get my drift. They have been … Continue reading Ham, Broccoli and the Cheesiest Quiche

We have been getting broccoli pretty steady for a couple of weeks now. My garlic ended up with pretty small bulbs but there are 68 of them so I think we should be OK for a … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Soup (from my garden)
Have you ever tried to re-create a dish you had while eating out? I have definitely tried; some were successful some not so much. I do make a mean Crab Rangoon and I love making Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings. There is a recipe from my favorite local restaurant that I order every time we go that eludes me; Lemongrass Chicken with a Caramel Sauce served … Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
I am just as guilty as the next for steering clear of everything green growing up! I was brought up in the era of having to sit at the table until my plate was cleared. I see good and bad in this approach. I still feel the need to finish my plate, which is bad for your waist line; good for making you try food … Continue reading Not easy being green – why do veggies get such a bad rap
