I have an aunt who moved to South Carolina a couple of years ago. She is a voracious reader and she knows that I love to cook, so every month or so I receive a bulging padded envelope full of recipes that she has torn out of newspapers and magazines. I love receiveing them! This […]
The photo isn’t so great, but this is a dish I make regularly, so I wanted to add the recipe to the blog. My husband and I love this dish. It uses something that for years I walked right by in a supermarket without paying any attention to it – a tube of polenta. […]
I love experimenting with veggie burgers, and in my book, this recipe is a winner. It’s very tasty even without condiments and when you first make them, they hold together pretty well. My husband and I ate them for a couple of days, because of course, the boys wanted nothing to do with them. When […]
If you’re looking for a quick, vegetarian, weeknight meal, this is it. A can of beans, some pasta and a simple beurre blanc sauce combine to make something marvelous.Don’t let the directions throw you. After the beans and pasta are cooked, don’t drain the pasta water. Much will have evaporated or will have […]
I have made these tacos quite a few times now. They’re part of our regular dinner rotation. My vegetarian son LOVES them, and I have to say that I do too. I don’t even notice that they’re meatless. The tofu, when shredded and browned, is somewhat similar to ground meat, and once it’s covered in […]
This is definitely the easiest quiche I have ever made, and it’s really delicious. The ingredients can be thrown together in under 15 minutes. I had the quiche ready to bake before my oven preheated. I have made this quiche will all kinds of cheese. I use whatever I have on hand. It’s delicious with […]
My husband said that this is one of the best chicken dishes he has EVER eaten! How’s that for an endorsement?
For me, this dish is reminiscent of the birthday meal that I chose year after year as I was growing up, Chicken Divan. for decades, it was my favorite, until I switched to my mom’s […]
Yotam Ottolenghi is an Israeli-British chef whose vegetarian recipes are some of my favorites. With a strong focus on fresh, varied flavors, his dishes are always more that the sum of their parts.
If you’re not used to cooking with farro, give it a try, it’s an “old world grain” that is becoming increasingly popular. It’s […]
This recipe is apparently a take-off on a dish served at P.F. Chang’s, a Chinese restaurant chain. The recipe is easy to throw together and you get a big bang for your buck in terms of flavor. It reminded me of an Asian sloppy Joe (Sloppy Joe’s were one of my favorite school lunches growing […]
Although the photo doesn’t do it justice, this is one of my new favorite recipes. Because my husband and I were the only ones in the family to eat these, and the recipe makes a generous quantity, we ate them for several days in a row and I didn’t get sick of them at all. […]
