Every now and then I get an email from a person asking if I could use more “prepared” items in my recipes. I’ve gotten suggestions about potato buds (what part is the bud?) And hints about modern conveniences like pre-cooked bacon and dehydrated onions. There are even stir-in mixes that can make your food taste …

Powerful Lobster Roll (On a no power day)
Am I the only one who keeps hearing about Lobster Rolls? It is not like they are a new food item because they have been around since the 1970’s. (I don’t know that for a fact, I was an infant and that was the rumor around the playpen.) It just seems to be the sandwich …
Miso Glazed Over Salmon
So technically this is a continuation of my last story about Bok Choy. Well, I guess I’m not continuing the story but I did want to tell you how to make a delicious, miso-glazed salmon to eat with my last blog’s recipe. Miso-whaaat? Is that the exclamation some of you are making right now? Are …
Yummy Potatoes
There are two things that make me want comfort food. The first is when the weather is cold. The second is when I’m sick. Since it is June guess why I want comfort food this week?? Yep, I’m sick. (Ohhh, poor baby.) Last week I landed in the hospital with some “issues” with my Crohn’s …
Not Your Ma’s Ball Soup
It is springtime, which means a lot of things to different people. I love seeing the green growing on the trees and the early buds of a flower’s first bloom. It is also the time of year when people celebrate Easter and Passover. (FYI: My birthday is also in the spring and there are only …
Trivia Trick or Treat
DING-DONG! Trick or Treat? DING DONG! Trick or Treat? DING DONG! Trick or Treat? This is the sound of my what my house will sound like on Monday night. We are fortunate to live in a neighborhood full of darling trick or treaters. (Okay, not all of them are darling. Example: Two “hoochie” girls who …
Tomato Sauce: Mother Sauces Part 4 of 6
Of all the Mother Sauces, Tomato sauce is the one people are most familiar with eating or cooking. I could even dare to say it is the mother of all Mother Sauces. I have never met a person who doesn’t like tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is probably the only mother sauce that can be …
Any Way You Spread It
I was given a challenge this past week. I was asked if I could post a recipe that had less than five ingredients. Actually, I wasn’t really asked. It was more of a sarcastic comment from a friend that I chose to hear as a challenge. Some people I know (and love) claim that their …
PB & J Party
Can you recall the first sandwich you ever ate? Most of us will probably say, Peanut Butter and Jelly. When I grew up, it was the standard sandwich in my lunch box and I never tired of it. I liked it the old fashion way with smooth peanut butter, grape jelly and white bread. Even …
By request-Simple Salisbury Steak
When I think of the food I prepare (and like), I don’t think I could ever be categorized as a beef and potatoes gal. And luckily for me, I didn’t marry a beef and potatoes guy so he doesn’t mind the lack of the combination in our house. Don’t get me wrong we aren’t anti-cow …
