It has been a couple of weeks since my last post. This is because the Covid finally caught up with me, which actually made me quite angry emotionally, but physically felt like a bad cold and a little tiredness. I’m out of quarantine and feeling 100% better. I did cook quite a few things before… Continue reading Prunes and Pork Chops

With getting ready for the DC trip and then the actual travel, I didn’t do any cooking or baking. I do have everything ready for this next week. Well, really the recipes are the left overs from what I had chosen for this past week I didn’t get to do. When we were riding in… Continue reading Food Truck and Frank’s

It was a much slower week than anticipated. I had several recipes picked out to give a try, including a roast chicken and vegetables. Next week will be a little slow as well due to some work travel to DC. Hopefully I’ll be able to dine at a great restaurant while there. Most of you… Continue reading Slow Week

Two dishes didn’t make it into the photo album this week. I hate when I’ve finished the meal and realize no picture was taken. Maybe I’ll get better at remembering at some point. Roasted chicken thighs with skillet spaghetti gratin sauce as our family Sunday dinner. Several of us commented on the gratin. In the… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Gratin

Even though winter seems to be over and the weather this past Sunday was beautiful, I was still in the mood for some soup. There was one oddball vegetable, or maybe officially a gourd, as one of the ingredients—acorn squash. This was only the second time I’ve ever had this type of squash. The first… Continue reading It Started with Soup

Rather than start with the first thing I made this week, I’m going to start with the last. It was a fun and a sad week of cooking. The fun was using some new ingredients and having some friends over for dinner while their kitchen is being remodeled. The sad was our normal Sunday family… Continue reading Prosciutto and Salmon, Who Knew!?

Another fun week in the kitchen. We had some tried and true, chicken. Some not so often, crab. Something new none of us have ever had, bulgur. A little somethin’ somethin’ from Texas, casserole. Plus a couple of desserts, one being a special one in honor of Valentines Day, the other a classic. Below are… Continue reading A Little Tempering this Week

After a hiatus of sorts, my kitchen mojo is back. For about six weeks I just wasn’t in the mood to cook or bake. The feels had just poofed away. About ten days ago, the bug to get back in the kitchen hit me again. I sat down that Sunday to peruse my stack of… Continue reading New Year, New Recipes

Yesterday my youngest son texted me. Even though he was just upstairs, he texted me a question. He wanted to know if we might make dinner together. With my help, he thought he would be able to make something a little more challenging. I let him know that I had something planned already, as I… Continue reading Mac and Cheese
