Beef Vegetable and Barley Soup

A week ago, I was grilling out and wearing sandals. Today, I’m making soup and wearing gloves when I walk my dogs. I don’t mind much – such is April in Ohio. It’s a soup day and I had plenty of ingredients for soup. Since joining WeightWatchers a week ago, one thing I have an […]

Steak Salad Pommes Frites

Or Steak Salad with French fries! Ha! I was trying to get fancy on you to get your attention. Truth is – French fries gets anyone’s attention! Last week I was at lunch at our favorite restaurant with my daughters and we all ordered salads. Before the waitress left, my youngest daughter said, “Oh and we’ll […]

Beef Stew

Hello Fall! I’m so ready for you…apples, pumpkins, soups and stews! We just returned from a vacation in Las Vegas where the temperatures were in the 90’s and the only green we saw was money being thrown on the tables. Coming home, I welcomed the cool, crisp nights and the beginnings of the beautiful colors […]

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Whoa. Making stuffed cabbages is a big deal for me. In fact, EATING stuffed cabbages is even a bigger deal. When I was growing up, it seemed like we had stuffed cabbages ALL the time! This was a typical Sunday in our house… We would all go to church in the morning… After church, we’d […]

Sweet and Sour Brisket

I have been so good this January! I’ve been drinking green smoothies, upped my daily veggie count, allowing one day for vegetarian only meals and exercising. But sometimes you just need a big hunk of meat! I’m about to share with you my most requested recipe. I make it every time we have a crowd […]

Chili Nights

Chilly nights call for chili and there are a thousand recipes out there! Everyone has their own version and I love trying all of them. My daughter claims to make better chili than me – the problem is getting her to make some is the issue. Personally, I’ve made a myriad of recipes and won’t […]

Low and Slow Short Ribs

Typically this is the meal that I make when the snow is blowing and the fireplace is glowing. Today it made more sense to cook inside than to fight the heat of the day grilling outside. And when I run into these little beauties at Whole Foods who could resist? All this being said, I […]

Meat Loaf Comfort

Because… It’s Sunday and we just got back from vacation. Because… We indulged way too much on vacation. Because… I’m glad to be home. Because… Our parents need a home-cooked meal this week.   I bring you my simple but delicious meatloaf recipe. Now don’t you go rolling your eyes thinking that you have a […]

Sizzling Fajitas

To appropriately prepare this meal…you need to plan 4 hours in advance for marinating the meat   It’s the night before the two-day holiday cooking marathon. I didn’t want to go out to eat tonight but wanted something tasty and easy to make.   Fajita night!   I found this recipe a few weeks ago […]

Beef, Mushroom and Barley Soup

This winter is like a bad boyfriend who just won’t leave you alone. There I got it out of my system. I want to be grilling again! This week’s snowfall called for a hearty pot of soup. We’ve been dealing with aging parents issues this week and I thought a good old pot of beef, […]
