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

Chicken and Mushroom Crepes
Last week my husband asked me for a meal that I hadn't made in a quite a while. This dish was originally made with canned cream of mushroom soup - which I try to avoid due to the sodium content - but with the uncertainty of what is going to be available at the grocery … Continue reading Chicken and Mushroom Crepes
Antipasto salad…no bread needed!
I am all about a good antipasto dish, usually with a nice (big) bottle of red wine hanging around too. I love cheese, salami, some pickled veggies and olives, maybe some good fruit chutney and a lot of bread to go along with that. We are still trying to avoid carbs and wheat, so I … Continue reading Antipasto salad…no bread needed!
Spaghetti squash…I finally tried it…..
I may be behind the curve a little bit here, but I made spaghetti squash for the first time today for lunch. I think I was put off by how to start preparing it, so I never really messed with it. I mean, it's (usually) a big, hard, odd shaped lump that I had no … Continue reading Spaghetti squash…I finally tried it…..
(Lower Carb) Baked Potato Soup
In keeping with our effort to avoid wheat and reduce our carbohydrate intake, I have been rereading a lot of my cookbooks. I found a recipe for baked potato soup in Skinnytaste that looked promising. Basically it was a swap out of cauliflower for some of the potatoes, and low fat milk and stock for … Continue reading (Lower Carb) Baked Potato Soup
Acorn Squash
This pretty little acorn squash just looks like fall to me. I am trying to incorporate some new seasonal veggies while I'm trying to avoid all my favorite carbs, so I thought I'd give a new squash a try. Acorn squash you are up! My husband is pretty good about accepting my tour off the … Continue reading Acorn Squash
Mashed Potatoes – hand mixer vs. food mill
I bought a food mill a few years ago to make and can apple sauce. I keep seeing food shows with people making mashed potatoes using it. I was raised on the hand held mixer version of mashed potatoes, so I was wondering what the big deal was? I was worried that the potatoes would … Continue reading Mashed Potatoes – hand mixer vs. food mill
Farmer’s market finds…fresh corn
I have a favorite place to get my corn during the summer. I use it for all the usual stuff...corn on the cob, cream corned, corn and tomato salad, corn fitters, etc. I also put some in the freezer for those times when you need a taste of summer to get you through the cold, … Continue reading Farmer’s market finds…fresh corn
Farmer’s market finds… Peppers
I LOVE a good farmer's market! And by "farmer's market", I mean the markets that are run by the family that owns and works the land the products are from, and you can usually hear chickens in the background. I'm not really into these suburban craft and pre-made products markets, although they do have some … Continue reading Farmer’s market finds… Peppers
