Macaroni Pie

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 […]

Polenta Florentine

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. […]

Easy Quiche Florentine

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 […]

Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Skillet

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 […]

Loiusa's Cake

I made this cake the other day on a lark. It was described as a cake that could be served for breakfast so I made it for the boys. As is typical with many new things I make, the boys were skeptical that it was loaded with vegetables. I assured them that it wasn’t, but […]

Veggie Nuggets

This is another attempt to get my four picky eaters to eat more vegetables. Did I succeed? Nope!

I have made these several times now because I love them. The boys? Not so much. I think they’re crazy. I’m hoping that when they’re off to college, somehow their palates will miraculously improve.

Instead of using three cups […]

Sprinkle Cookies

We are in the throes of finals week in our apartment and it has been stressful. Our 9th graders have never had finals before and the thought of needing to know everything that has been taught since September is frightening for them, especially in subjects like biology and history where the minutia can be overwhelming. […]

Cacio e Pepe Potatoes Anna

This is one of those situations where I knew the recipe was going to be delicious (it was!), and I knew I wanted it posted on the blog so I could have the recipe on hand so I could make it again, but I also knew we didn’t have time to get set up to […]

Farro and Roasted Red Pepper Salad

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 […]

Veggie Balls

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. […]
