Bill’s son Tyler turned 18 last month. To celebrate I asked him what he wanted for dinner — Mexican!!!! I invited his girlfriend & my parents over and cooked up a storm. I got so darn excited about eating dinner that I forgot to take any pictures. The Menu: Jalepeno Roasted Chicken Chili and Cheese [...]

I have a confession to make. I am a soup-a-holic. I could eat soup every single day. And the best thing about soup is that you can make it out of pretty much anything you have on hand. I had some left-over enchilada sauce I had made, some fresh salsa and chicken thighs. Then I [...]

I’m back!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been on hiatus for a few weeks as I took a cooking class and my work world changed a lot requiring more of my attention, but this dish was so tasty and I was so impressed with myself I had to post. First let me come clean, I’m NOT a fan of [...]

This photo landed me my first number 1 slot on FoodBuzz — thanks to my loving husband. The first attempt at this recipe was the most photogenic. But I needed to make it a few times and tweak the recipe before I was ready to post it. My family are troopers (or they just like [...]

This dinner started with chicken that I had to cook because it had been hanging out in the fridge for a couple days. I had some spinach I wanted to use and I had bought Fava Beans which I’ve never cooked before. I poked around looking for an exciting Chicken recipe (and yes! There is [...]

This time of year my herb garden goes crazy thanks to lots of rain and lots of sun. My Basil plants become a small forest if I don’t stay on top of them. It seems like a terrible waste to grow the herbs but not use them. So — I decided to make pesto. What [...]

I made this almost a week ago and am just now able to sit down and write about it. I only get around to making Chicken and Dumplings 2 – 3 times a year and I don’t know why, it’s easy and it tastes so good that writing about it is making me want to [...]

:Sigh: I am writing tonight with a stunning lack of inspiration. Had I not committed to cooking my way through the Paris Bistro cookbook I wouldn’t even write this entry. But I did commit — and if my first post was about a ruined dinner then I can certainly write about an uninspiring meal.

Paris Bistro Cooking – Mission #1 – Coq au Vin As I prepared dinner and plated it; I realized why I haven’t seen a lot of pictures of coq au vin in cookbooks; the entire dish turns the same shade of purple. For what it’s worth, I promise it tasted much much better than it photographed. [...]

If you’ve been with me from the beginning (oh so long ago — February); then you’ve already read my first post about how I spent the entire day looking forward to a meal only to disappoint myself with a kitchen disaster. While I’m happy to say this adventure turned out much better; it did not [...]
