One of my favorite food indulgences is a good old juicy hamburger and French fries. When I feel the need to nurture myself, I will go to one of my favorite restaurants and order me up one of those babies! In fact, when I was on Weight Watchers (where I lost 35 pounds) – for […]

Did you ever have a recipe that you completely forgot about for twenty years? I did! What was I thinking? The other day I called my sister to find out what she’s been up to and she told me that her and the kids were making “Aunt Linda’s Banana Gems”! I blushed for I haven’t […]
Hubby loves PEAS. He’s always complaining that he never gets enough. Really? (Don’t they always say that?) For me, PEAS belong in tuna casseroles and with creamed chicken. Today I opened up the refrigerator to find two breasts, some ‘shrooms and wine. What to do? Sounds like a night for Chicken Marsala! I wanted to […]
On Sundays, I usually make ‘mega-meals’ which means a meal that is bigger than for the two of us. It’s a meal to split three ways – for us, for his parents and for my parents. Both our parents are aging and while they get “Meals On Wheels” – it gives me great pleasure to […]
Please Note: This is not a recipe to start today and eat tonight. It takes two days to get to the finish line. It’s something to do while you’re doing everything else. Trust me…it’s worth the wait! I am having a love affair with beets these days. I used to HATE beets…those slimy red things […]
Full Disclosure: I typically don’t cook like this…way too long…way too many calories…and way too much frying! For the heck of it, read the rest of the journey below.

Oi! What started out as what I thought would be a simple task ended up eating (pardon the pun) up my morning. I have a recipe box that I have carried with me from the day I left my parent’s house. There are recipes I clipped from the days of being a newlywed (to my […]
There’s no way I can write about pickles without giggling. I tried to write a serious title but couldn’t resist having fun with it. Seriously, pickles have taken over my life … and my pantry. It all started with a pickle from Fremont, Indiana made by Mr. Rickle – thus Rickles Pickles. Their website is quite […]
One of my motives in cooking is to constantly introduce the ‘green stuff’ into the menu without much kicking and fighting. Keep in mind that I don’t have youngsters to deal with in introducing tastes…we’re talking about a 50+ 60 year old man/boy who never got over the ‘green stuff’ in his youth. That’s my challenge and […]
That’s how it always is with me. I do things. I make things…especially in the kitchen. I cook. I always have. I take what I do for granted. I thought everyone cooked like I did. I have many recipes, many cooking experiences – which started at a convent when I was sixteen….and lasted the rest […]
