I find I find it difficult sometimes to make a casserole type dish for just a few people, and something like cheese potatoes is especially hard for me to do. I created this recipe for when I had my whole family here, and they love these things. It's usually a 13x9 dish, but I set … Continue reading Cheese potatoes
Yeah, I know I'm behind on trying this one. Truth is I've never been a fan of a pressure cooker. I remember my mom and grandma canning green beans in one. The noise and the heat was such a turn off that I think I just tried to ignore this new contraption. Sure, some of … Continue reading Product review – InstaPot
Cool and creamy cheesecake is one of my all time favorite summer desserts. If you want to make it for a get-together, this dessert is for you since you really need to make it a day ahead of time. You can dress it up with sauces or whipped cream (or both like I do), or … Continue reading Cheesecake with Mixed Berry Sauce
Eggs Benedict is really nothing more than an English muffin topped with some Canadian bacon, a poached egg and creamy hollandaise sauce. This is one of my absolute favorite breakfast foods, and I am being serous this time. I just started eating this as an adult, out at some random brunch one morning. I was … Continue reading Eggs Benedict
During the week when I am busy working, this is a short cut way for us to have a comforting dish without a lot of prep or work on my part.

I love to find a dish to make for dinner on Sunday nights that take me a while to put together. This homemade Bolognese sauce with tagliatelle pasta fits that bill perfectly. It's relaxing to me. I take my time prepping and cooking, usually with a nice glass of red wine within reach. This dish … Continue reading Sunday Bolognese
I call this "old fashioned" because it's a recipe that started with my grandma, who we called "Nana". She used to make this for us and some of the things I remember about it is that she would meticulously cut the carrots into matchsticks, and the pot she made it in was enormous. When I've … Continue reading Vegetable Beef Soup – the old fashioned version
In keeping with my efforts to eat healthier, I am trying to make friends with fish fillets. I am all for a good lobster tail or some shrimp cocktail. I am totally up of a real crab cake, but fillets of fish and I haven't always gotten along. I need a sauce and some good … Continue reading Fish fillets in tomato butter sauce
A while back I made a huge pan of this for some friends as part of a care package. Since then I've been asked for the recipe, so here it is. I make this version in my crock pot, but you can bake this off in the oven, about 3 hours at 350 degrees if … Continue reading Minced Beef and Noodles
Happy New Year! We are making an effort to reduce they amount of flour/carbs we are consuming starting this week I have done the Wheatbelly diet in the past, which is really a lifestyle change not a diet, and I felt pretty good while I kept that up. When you love to cook, eat bread … Continue reading Baked eggs in spicy tomato sauce
