Chicken and Dumplings

So recently I saw a recipe pop up on my Facebook feed for Chicken and Dumplings. It looked pretty easy and quick, so I decided to give it a go. The recipe is from EatingWell.com, who provides healthy recipes, or at least “healthier”. I didn’t have any whole wheat flour on hand, I found out [...]

Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu

Well, here’s a new recipe I tried tonight:

Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu | Eating Well

Thought it sounded good. Chicken. Ham. Cheese. Breadcrumbs. Seasonings. How could that go wrong? The chicken breasts from the market were a bit large, about 1.8 lbs for 3 breasts with the tenders attached. I cut them in half cross-wise [...]

Pumpkin Fudge!

So a couple of months ago, a friend of mine shared some pumpkin fudge that he had made. Wow, delicious! I had to have the recipe. And finally did get it and wanted to make it for Thanksgiving to take over to my mom’s and share with the family.

Now I’ve never made pumpkin fudge [...]

Pork Loin Roast with Dessert Wine Gravy and Pumpkin Saute

Tonight I made a pork loin roast and served it with steamed green beans and a delicious pumpkin saute. My new 12-inch cast iron skillet arrived today from Amazon.com. I’ve been using a 10-inch one for a while now, and it is finally getting a real good seasoning on it and I’m now able to [...]

Italian Sausage and Bean Soup with Kale

Homemade Biscuits

Today I was making chicken, slaw and biscuits for dinner. Well, I wanted to make Cowboy Biscuits, which I have made before and are delicious. But when I went to the cupboard and looked for yeast, I saw that all my yeast was VERY old. Like a good year or more past “use by” date, [...]

Fabulous Cake

I must make this cake: Harvest Cake with Vanilla Cream

It is grain, gluten, dairy and processed-sugar free. Uses honey. Has grated carrots, zucchini and chopped apple in it. And a vanilla cream made from raw cashews, dates and honey. Wow. The pictures look fab.

Garlicky breadcrumbs add zing to pasta

A few nights ago I made this recipe from Mark Bitten of the New York Times:

Spaghetti with Broccoli Rabe, Toasted Garlic and Bread Crumbs

It was very good and the family enjoyed a dinner with Broccoli Rabe in it (astounding!).

Well, tonight I had some arugula to use up from my weekly CSA farm [...]

Lettuce “Gyros” With Spicy Halibut

Here’s a great looking recipe. Appears healthy and low-cal but yummy: Lettuce “Gyros” With Spicy Halibut and Feta-Mint Tzatziki

I could definitely use this as inspiration and make something adapted, if not making the exact recipe.
