Kind of an exciting week this past week. My first grandchild arrived 3 weeks earlier than expected. Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup
If you read my blog fairly frequently you might think I just posted this; I even questioned it myself but they are different soups with similar ingredients. This one I adapted from a recipe I found in allrecipes.com that was submitted by domesticgoddess. It comes together quickly and has fabulous flavor and fits the bill around here. We got over a foot of snow here … Continue reading Tuscan Bean and Italian Sausage Soup
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 hope you are going to blog about this; it is delicious” “I am going to have this for lunch on Monday; maybe even tomorrow too” just a couple of quotes from my fam after eating last night’s dinner. So here I am going to share it with you. Though a little back story, it was NOT what I had intended on making at all. … Continue reading Sausage & Broccoli Pasta
Soup is my jam period – I mentioned quite a while ago my dream of opening a soup joint or something along those lines. I also share quite a few soup recipes on this blog and I am pretty sure I will continue to do so. Every time I make a soup that makes me smile, and no not all of them do, I have failed … Continue reading Sausage, spinach, tomato tortellini soup
If you have never lived in NH let me give you a quick overview of how quickly the weather can change in just a few days. Last Sunday it poured and was around 60’F. Thursday was 92’F with 100% humidity; which to me means a seriously bad hair and this morning we woke to 40’F. That’s a week in the life of a New Hampshirite. … Continue reading Sweet Italian Sausage with Roasted Garlic Pesto
Last weekend we went to Montreal with another couple for a dinner reservation; yeah it sounded crazy to me to! When we were there last spring with the same couple; the talk of town of where to eat dinner was that there were three restaurants on Rue Notre Dame right in a row. One of the guys we were talking to said and I quote … Continue reading Lasagna made easy kind of
Firstly I hope you all had a wonderful day with delicious food and great conversations with your family and friends Talk about having a pretty traditional Thanksgiving here in NH we got hit with a heavy snow storm on Wednesday; I think the final total was 15 +/- inches. While that much snow is generally not a big deal for us, this one kind of … Continue reading Thanksgiving Dinner – no power – Sausage Ciabatta Stuffing
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
