Chicken with Ham and Cheese
Every NEW recipe I try, I follow the cookbook instructions exactly. It's helps to understand where the recipe creator was going before I detour off on my own the next time. IF there's going to be a next time. There are certain rules, I created years ago, to help me sift recipes that work. For this recipe, I put the rules aside and started cooking. My dear friend, Anna, came over so we could explore... More...

Baked hams are not just for special occasions. Of course, it seems we can always get them at a better price around the holidays. I love a good sale, one that makes me want to stock up. Oooo, the word "Clearance" really makes me stop what I'm doing. Have you ever been in a Target and tried NOT to glance over or peruse their $1 corner? It's like the ultimate test of self control for shopping gladiators;... More...

fish that's been baked, broiled, blackened or fried is fine with me. It's truly my favorite food, next to spinach, goat cheese, and dark chocolate. NO, there's not any chocolate in this recipe...eww. The other night, my husband called to report he was trapped in traffic and would pull over to grab Chik-Fil-A. That gave me the chance to experiment with the Tilapia I picked up on sale. HERE'S WHAT... More...

This is a quick and easy dinner that my husband and I scarfed down with pure glee. My kids wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole; my son takes his pasta with a traditional red sauce. And my daughter, well, let's not go there. This recipe was created only to bring two distinctly different pastas together. I'm talking about traditional semolina pasta and whole wheat pasta. If you haven't tried... More...

This is a really easy, simple dinner recipe, we ate for Sunday lunch. It was a cold Sunday morning and we slept in. We decided to do what we always do on Sunday mornings; lounge around drinking lattes, reading our favorite blogs. The kids were already glued to the SpongeBob marathon. There was a nice roast in the frig, I got on sale, waiting to go in the slow cooker. But I realized,... More...

This is a beautiful and delicious meal made on the fly. Let me tell you, I had no plans to put this together. I was at the grocery store and happened to see they had boneless sirloin steaks on sale. I picked up one small steak (.88 pounds for $4.83) to feed two adults and two small child. My kids didn't touch the salad or the guacamole. They enjoyed a side of black beans with a dollop of sour...

This creamy penne pasta and chicken was a HUGE HIT with the family, particularly my picky daughter. After two bites, my son asked if there was enough for leftovers. That should count for extra points, right? The picture above shows the adult dinner; topped with sliced grape tomatoes and sprinkled with red pepper flakes. Naturally, I left them off the kiddo's plates. The cream sauce is flavored... More...
