Chicken Piccata

Tonight we longed for something simple – flavorful but simple. It was a crazy weekend with a sleepover of 3 grandsons – all 5 years old! We had fun playing games, eating pizza and making banana splits. Now you can see why I craved simplicity. This recipe does the trick – chicken cutlets topped with […]

Tex Mex Casserole

He won’t stop talking about it. I made this casserole several days ago and everyday since then – he still tells me how much he loved this casserole! Granted Hubby is a casserole lover but I’ve never heard him rant about it like this. I sent leftovers to his parents’ house and now they are […]

Apricot Rosemary Chicken

Did you ever wake up in the morning and have a taste for something and didn’t have a recipe? That’s how it was for me. I had a taste for a sweet but zesty grilled chicken kebab. Almost like the flavor of the samples they hand out in front of the Asian fast food restaurant […]

Turkey Tacos

It’s been a busy day. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and I certainly didn’t want to be in the kitchen that long tonight. I’d rather be sitting on the deck with a glass of wine! Typically taco night is to be an easy night for cooking, right? The best laid plans….I decided to try a […]

Rosemary Grilled Chicken

Mnmmmmm…Memorial Day Weekend! Don’t ya love it? Please remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the lives we live. Let us not forget the ones that have gone before! Memorial Day weekend is like a gateway into summer! And let the grilling begin… We started our Summer celebration mid-week by seeing Bonnie Raitt […]

Most of all – thank you so much for all the kind comments through e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and on the blog about my last post on Mother’s Day reflections. I didn’t realize the impact […]

Fried Rice with Pork

Mmmmm….Sunday night suppers. You can enjoy them at the table, or casually on the couch or in your lap watching 6o Minutes. One of our favorite Sunday night indulgences is fried rice. We love all the veggies with the wholesomeness of brown rice, Asian flavors and the salty taste of pork. There are so many […]

Chicken Pot Pie

It’s a cool spring Saturday afternoon. In spite of the hot temps we had a few weeks back, I prefer the gentle spring that slowly walks us into summer. It’s not too often we get a spring like this and I welcome the gentle rain outside. It’s a night for comfort food…not for me, but […]

Chicken Parmesan Light

We love pasta in our house and crave it about once a week. I try to cut corners with calories when I can and this recipe delivers! I’ve been making it for several years now tweaking it along the way. It never disappoints while giving you the full flavor of Chicken Parmesan… and easily made […]

Perfectly Poached Eggs

I love poached eggs. I eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is so much you can do with them! The problem I always have with poached eggs is when I poach them in water, they get weird… strings of white floating in the water… doesn’t do much for the presentation. I found the […]
