Through the years I’ve made my share of stuffed green peppers. My dad always had a garden and a never ending supply of green peppers. When life gives you green peppers, you make every kind of stuffed pepper imaginable! While I consider all the versions amazing, I come back to this my tried and true … [Read more…]
Who knew a simple, little turkey muffin could be so tasty? They are similar to meatloaf, but much, much better! Not a meatloaf fan? I understand, but I’m calling all you meatloaf haters to try these. Don’t let the humble appearance turn you away. The muffin tins allow a crispy coating on the outside, and the … [Read more…]
So you ask, “What is this contraption?” It looks like it belongs more in a mad scientist’s lab than in an everyday kitchen, right? This nerdy little apparatus is your alternative to all those over-priced espressos at the local coffee shop or even the new-high-fangled, high-priced espresso machines. I got your back. As long as … [Read more…]
Lunch doesn’t have to be boring! Let’s face it…two slabs of bread and lunchmeat can be rather blah. Now a wrap, that’s another story! Just like the name implies, you can wrap one of these bad boys up in mere minutes. It’s so appealing−not only to the eye−but to the tastebuds too. No need to … [Read more…]
My husband is not the fish eater. He does eat tuna fish from a can, but he’s not getting any points for that. However, he scored big when he told me he wanted to try salmon. Whaaat!?! My non-fish eating husband just said he wanted to try salmon! In a flash, I was heading to … [Read more…]
It’s officially spring, but we got snow and more snow! When life gives you snow, break out the instant pot (or crock pot) and make SOUP! No snow day is complete without a heaping bowl of Pasta E Fagioli or as we like to say, “Macaroni and Beans”; somehow that just doesn’t have the same … [Read more…]
Last night’s dinner conversation topic was: “What’s your favorite kids movie?” Without hesitation, I quickly rattled off, “Toy Story”. Some of the other titles that got the thumbs-up were Madagascar, Up, Iron Giant, Frozen (my vote again!), WALL-E, Despicable Me and Finding Nemo. When a kids movie succeeds, it usually targets young and old alike and … [Read more…]
As I was about to take my first bite of this delicious, protein-packed frittata, my husband came stammering down the stairs and into the kitchen. Yes, the aroma led him right to my plate. He said, “Whatever that is…it looks and smells amazing.” It’s a frittata! (Basically just an Italian version of an omelette) And … [Read more…]
Potatoes are definitely a staple around our house. When I pass the potatoes at the grocery store, they automatically go straight into the cart. That auto-pilot maneuver, somehow got me about 25 pounds of potatoes. Yikes!! What am I going to do with all of those potatoes? Potato Soup, of course, and not just any … [Read more…]
Today was the ice storm of the century. Call me crazy, but all that ice got me in the mood for a frozen smoothie. Maybe I’m subconsciously thinking spring because this smoothie contains all the flavors of a classic carrot cake: fresh carrots, Greek yogurt, yummy pineapple, and of course some carrot cake spices. There’s … [Read more…]
