With my lofty plans for triumphs in the kitchen this week, I thought I might start off with something that I knew would be easily stored, quickly reheated, safely transported to my little sister so she could simplify her college life and (hopefully) be focused on homework and not have to worry about a few […]

I made this “glaze” but then I didn’t… glaze anything with it. I drizzled it on top of our foods. So I suppose it’s a “dressing” not a glaze. This meal was a pantry/freezer meal, I try to keep enough meat in the freezer to make at least two totally different meals. I wanted to […]

I, like so many Americans, am so guilty of eating way more than a recommended serving of pasta, and probably everything else, as well. Since we rarely eat out these days, and can easily avoid a 3-cup portion of pasta arriving on our table, I’ve been trying to figure out just how much I should be making […]

Can you believe it’s October? I can’t believe that time has passed this quickly! It seems like just yesterday I was sweating to death, trying to find some shade at work, and eager to go anywhere that might have air conditioning. oh, chicken pot pie homemade hot pocket? Why, yes. In a manner of speaking. […]

When I received the cookbook Pioneer Woman Cooks, I made a few things from it and then lent it out to my friend who wanted to start cooking. She and her sister used it and made a few things (I believe) but I know for sure, she made these poppers. I’ve never known someone so […]

The other day I got home from work, and after a long day of lugging crap up flights of stairs I wasn’t really interested in doing much of any cooking. I had two tomatoes sitting on the counter willing me to use them before they went bad! After trying to ignore them several times in […]

HOLY PEPPERS! I have been bombarded by a million or so peppers the past few weeks of my CSA share. I decided the other day that I would freeze most of them. I now have: 8 bell peppers cut and ready to go for stuffed peppers 10-12 bell/mini sweet peppers all cut up and ready […]

Have you ever eaten out, found something delicious that you then want to recreate in your home? I do often. One appetizer I find intriguing is Eggplant Rollatini. I’ve had exceptionally good experiences ordering it from one of our favorite “date night” restaurants Toscana’s in Peabody, MA. I’d never made it, or, lets be […]
