I think I mentioned before that whenever I make up a new recipe, I don’t write it down even though my husband tells me to do just that. Thankfully I did blog about one such recipe last year. Today we all had a real craving for bacon and I needed my pasta fix since I … Continue reading »

Rosemary and Garlic Chicken
I adapted this recipe from Real Simple’s recipe of the day from Jan. 11, 2011. I made a few minor changes but otherwise kept to the instructions. We loved this! I decided after reading the amount of vinegar (1/2 cup) that went into the recipe we might be turned off by the flavor and ended … Continue reading »
But it was just a little fire!
Isn’t that what they all say? It seems that my oven bit the dust last week. It was just a little arcing and sparking that melted the main heating element in the oven. I was on my way to the bathroom,(why does it always seem to happen then?), when my boys yelled “Mom, fire!”. I … Continue reading »

Since today is a sauce cooking/meatball making/pasta and bread making day, I wanted an easier meal last night. (Photo credit) I said easy? I … Continue reading »
Italian Enchiladas or how to use up leftovers
One of my troubles is that I will make too much food. I guess it’s not really a trouble or problem but in the case of fillings for ravioli or tortellini it does present a problem. There is always a bit of raw egg in those fillings so I have to get creative with what to … Continue reading »
Easter memories and menu
We all had a wonderful Easter with a great church service followed by a great meal. It was the normal family including my hubby, my boys, my daughter and her son and me. Here is Isaiah, or Za as we call him, waiting for his food.
Compliments and accolades
I think in life we all desire to be complimented or receive approval for our deeds. If not from parents, maybe from a sibling, a friend, a boss, a spouse, a child…the list is endless. As a cook or chef (which I am not), one really wants to know if others think your food is … Continue reading »
