If you haven’t ever purchase or tried a skirt or flank steak I really think you ought to check them out. I know they look pretty funky and not very appealing to the eye being all rolled up. And they are not as wildly available in stores as all the other yummy looking steaks; but if you do come across one or both of them give … Continue reading Grilled Skirt & Flank Steak
I am a huge lover of soup; it surprises me when I hear some people are not. I think of soup/chowder and stew as a warm hug in a bowl. There are endless possibilities you can combine to make a yummy pot of soup, you can add milk and/or cream for chowder, clear broth to make a light soup or combine cream and broth to … Continue reading Soup Season is here – Chicken Tortilla Soup
I do love to cook with fresh ingredients and do so for the most part. A couple of recent posts I used jar sauce which I have no problem with but I do add my own spin to it by adding fresh garlic, onions and herbs. I have been known to pick up a store prepared potato or pasta salad on a rare occasion; especially … Continue reading Grilling & Chillin on a Pontoon Boat – Stuffed Pepper recipe
I had a wonderful visit from a lifelong friend this weekend. We met when we were around 11 maybe and even though we do not see or talk with each other often; you know life and miles get in the way; it is like we see each other all the time. We pick right up where we left off from our last visit. We spent … Continue reading Stuffed Zucchini

We were having a large family gathering and I wanted … Continue reading 3 ingredient (no fuss) Eggplant

Who doesn’t need to use up some of the leftover ham from Easter? I swear the weather this weekend also helped dictate what I ended up making. It has been rainy, raw and just plain chilly, kind of like a fall day. It also helps that one of my favorite soups is creamy ham and asparagus. It is so satisfying, it is simple to make … Continue reading Ham & Asparagus Soup
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
