I don’t know about you but after the cookout festivities of Memorial Day, we needed a light supper. Geez! On Monday, I made 30 lbs. of ribs! I didn’t eat all 30 lbs. but I did enjoy them! Raiding the refrigerator tonight, I found a container of blue cheese leftover from making Buffalo Chicken Paninis last […]
No….not that type of Margarita! Although, if this rain and dreariness continues, I may be tempted. After yesterday’s calamity of roasted chicken, I opted for the non-meat, easy Monday meal. I’ve tried many Margherita pizza recipes and this is definitely the one! It comes from a Williams Sonoma Essentials of Baking Cookbook with a few of my […]
It’s Monday night and the day after Mother’s Day, I wanted something simple for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and found a big hunk of bacon staring at me. Mmmmm….bacon. I had a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch. Why not? And I do have my new panini machine…why not? Ingredients: Crispy bacon, […]
It’s Friday night and tonight, I really want wings. Why is it that I love all the things that are not good for me? On Friday nights, you don’t care what’s good for you… This time though, I came up with a healthy alternative to my wing craving… I took some thin boneless chicken breasts… […]

I’m not a big fish eater. In fact, I’m a very picky fish eater…let alone cooking it. I don’t like the skin. I don’t like bones. I don’t like the smell of fish…. So what’s one to do? Halibut. Just for the halibut. (okay, okay, I’ll stop with the corny jokes starting now) I do like […]
Our freezer is busting with boneless pork loin chops because of a special at our local grocery store. I’ve been playing with pork recipes all month. This is my favorite! One of my favorite ways to prepare boneless pork chops is to bread and bake them. Over the years I have had good experiences and […]
I have to admit that I have a love/hate relationship with shrimp. I love to eat them but I hate to clean them…it grosses me out. Okay, now that you have full disclosure – I hate cleaning shrimp. I wear rubber gloves. Sometimes I close my eyes. I even have a little red shrimp cleaning […]
