This week the weather is supposed to be gorgeous. It’s sunny right now and warming up nicely, so I am looking forward to some good grilling weather! Now that’s it time to start cooking outside and getting out of the hot kitchen, I thought I’d share this fresh tasting grilled chicken recipe with you. It’s very simple to make, just Read More »
Comfort food. It’s defined as food that provides a feeling of well-being, often associated with childhood or home cooking. Salisbury steaks fit into that category for me. My parents divorced when I was 6 years old, so pretty much my whole childhood my parents both worked two jobs. So aside from my mother’s baked chicken and my father’s minced meat Read More »
We love Italian Sausage in this house, sweet being my favorite variety. I wanted to try something new tonight, and we really enjoy sausage and peppers, so I put together several of my favorite ingredients to create dinner. Leeks and garlic for flavor, mushrooms mixed into the sausage for flavor and added vegetable benefits, and potatoes and sweet peppers for Read More »
It was purely coincidental that I developed this salad recipe, inspired by the flavors of Florida. I’m a huge chicken fan, especially in salads, so when I happened across a marinade titled Key West Grilled Chicken I knew there was something in the making.

I’ve had brisket where you shred it into sandwiches, and that’s good, but by far my favorite is slicing into it and eating it with Read More »
When it’s cold outside there’s no meal more comforting than beef stew. Well it was definitely cold outside today, and the snow was coming down heavily. A perfect day for the slow cooker to do all the work with just a few minutes of prep on my part. I love making stew because it’s so easy to adapt, making it Read More »
Winter is still here. It reared its ugly head and dumped 6 or 7 inches on us the other day, though most of it is gone now. When the days are cold like this, I love to have a piping hot bowl of homemade soup for lunch, and I’m especially fond of chowders. A batch of soup freezes well and Read More »
I am an avid potato fan and I love soups. So putting the two together is great for me. Not only do they make perfect lunches, but they freeze well and are great for chilly days. Soup can be simple or extremely elaborate, depending on your ingredient list. This particular potato soup is not only delicious, but it’s fast, it’s Read More »
