Last week, I made a dish for dinner that we loved. I decided to make it again tonight and blog the recipe for you all. When I made this dish last week, I used only two portobellos, however, I did decide to use a lot more portobello mushrooms tonight. They are big, but they do…

Summer Bounty Tacos
Wondering what to make for lunch today, I searched my vegetable bin in the refrigerator and came up with a zucchini, an ear of corn, cremini mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and an onion. I decided to pull that all together to sauté and make tacos on corn tortillas. This is a great lunch or dinner if…
Rosemary Garlic Potato Package Recipe
Dennis and I were away in Texas last week visiting his brother and family. We had a fabulous time! I had a lot of things to accomplish today, as everyone does when returning from time away from home. Knowing this, I wanted to make something that wasn’t going to take too much time or effort…

Bruschetta Chicken and Balsamic Beans
Last week, I bought a bag of Trader Joe’s Sun Dried Tomato and Cheese Toasts. I thought I’d build a dinner based on these toasts. I’ve used them in salad before, but wanted to come up with something where I would bake them in the oven with chicken. I decided I’d put a bed of…

I put my flank steak (1-1/4 pound) into a shallow dish and sprinkled kosher salt and fresh ground pepper over both sides. I…
