Cheesy Bacon and Egg Hash Brown Muffins

April 10, 2023

Diane Morrisey is my favorite Instagram recipe poster; so many of her creations appeal to me. This was served to me at Mah Jongg and I immediately asked for the recipe. It came in handy right away when the quiche we ordered for Sofia’s 2 year old birthday turned out to be half the size […]

Turmeric-Black Pepper Chicken With Asparagus

April 1, 2023

This recipe by Ali Slagle was included in a collection of meals that kids like. Which surprised me as these aren’t flavors I picture appealing to most children. But neither is pesto, which my picky grandson gobbles up; so who knows? It’s sweet and spicy and easy, all cooking together in the same pan. Turmeric […]

Pepper Jack and Zucchini Quesadillas

March 27, 2023

I know; this sounds weird doesn’t it? But it makes for a really easy and wonderful lunch or even breakfast! I turn often to the cook book Food Swings by Jessica Seinfeld (Mrs. Jerry, and yes she can really cook!), as it’s full of fairly easy and truly delicious takes on the kind of food […]

Pork Tenderloin, Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

March 21, 2023

My husband really liked the slightly sweet and spicy flavor of the spices that flavor both the meat and vegetables in this easy, one pan meal. Brown sugar, cinnamon, and chili powder mix with a bit of melted butter which made even the leftovers delicious. Thanks to Deb Clark at bowl-me-over.com for a lovely meal! […]

Skillet Chicken With Tomatoes, Pancetta, and Mozzarella

March 11, 2023

Melissa Clark likes to think of this easy one pan dish as Pizza Chicken, with it’s topping of tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Which immediately made me think it might appeal to my grandsons; and it did. Kind of like a chicken Parmesan without the breading. I made this mostly ahead, then put it in […]

Avocado Toast With Balsamic Mushrooms

March 5, 2023

This is so simple it’s hardly a recipe. I combined two of my favorite things into a favorite breakfast or lunch; ready in no time. Simply sauté some sliced mushrooms with a small amount of butter (don’t substitute olive oil; the butter gives it so much flavor.) Add a splash of good balsamic vinegar towards […]

Detox Soup

February 25, 2023

I’m not sure I would have tried a recipe with this name if Brittany hadn’t told me that a friend made it for a group who all wanted seconds. It’s from a website called “eating bird food” (cute!) by another Brittany (Mullins) who is a holistic nutritionist . Her fourth cook book is called Mostly […]

Spicy Sheet-Pan Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Kale

February 19, 2023

These chicken thighs are coated with a quick Harissa-yogurt marinade that keeps them juicy. Sweet potatoes and onions roast along with the chicken on a sheet pan, along with sliced kale (something new to me!) I can vouch for the ease and deliciousness of everything but the kale which I was missing; but broccoli florets […]

Quinoa and Broccoli Spoon Salad

February 13, 2023

This easy chopped salad is full of textures and flavors, and only gets better as the mustardy dressing soaks into and softens the raw broccoli. It’s called a spoon salad because the apple, cheese, pecans and cranberries are chopped bitesize. You could substitute another grain for the quinoa, such as brown rice or farro; just […]
