Tonight, I was going to be having dinner alone, which …. I’m not gonna lie, I was looking forward to, just a bit. I was looking forward to eating dinner while doing a little reading for my upcoming bookclub. Knowing I’d be having dinner alone, I wanted to pick something that I would really enjoy…
Healthy Egg and Arugula Open Face Breakfast Sandwich
As I was making my husband his egg sandwich to go this morning, I thought about what I’d want for breakfast. Usually it’s eggs with turkey bacon and either toast or a Trader Joe’s bagel (on the days we aren’t at Einstein’s for our usual bagel breakfast). As I was pulling the eggs out, I…
Cast Iron Lemon, Fennel, Date and Rosemary Chicken Thighs
Lemon, garlic, fresh rosemary, fennel, onion and dates …. don’t those ingredients sound like the perfect accompaniment to boneless, skinless chicken thighs? I thought so, and that’s why I chose to make my chicken thighs with just those things for last night’s dinner. Next week, I will be hosting a birthday dinner for three of…
Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
As a kid, you would never find me eating mushrooms. However, as I grew up, my tastebuds changed and I now love mushrooms. As I was making out my grocery list a few days ago, I knew I wanted to buy sweet Italian chicken sausages. I love the ones they have at the meat counter…
Let Me Introduce You ….
Hello to all my readers! I just wanted to announce a second blog that I’ve started. The blog is not about food, it’s about my love for a good book. I love to read as much as I love to cook and entertain so decided to start a second blog called “Passion for Pages. Please…
It’s National Grilled Cheese Day!
Many people, when asked what they consider to be their favorite, or one of their favorite comfort foods, will immediately respond with “Grilled Cheese!”. Maybe it’s because it’s something we eat when we’re kids, so it takes us back to a time when things were simple. Grilled Cheese and a bowl of tomato soup, what’s…
Sriracha Orange Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Thighs
When I opened my refrigerator this morning to pull out my creamer for my coffee, the first two things I spotted were a bottle of sriracha and oranges, front and center in my fruit drawer. I was trying to decide how to season my chicken thighs for dinner tonight and when I saw those two…
Avocado, Grilled Corn and Grilled Radish Tacos
I meant to post this recipe last night, which would have made it a “Meatless Monday” meal. However, I decided to spend time with my daughter and run an errand with her so it has now turned into a “Taco Tuesday” meal. It was going to be a win-win either way. A friend of mine,…
Sugar Snap Pea, Endive and Prosciutto Spring Pasta Recipe
How do the following ingredients sound to you – sugar snap peas, endive, prosciutto and gorgonzola cheese, along with caramelized red onion and sliced garlic? Those were the ingredients I decided I’d mix together to make a spring pasta dish. I opened a bag of sugar snap peas to have with my lunch today, which…
Grilled Ham and Irish Cheddar with Sauerkraut on Pumpernickel
I had the best day today! My very good friend, Pam (marshmallow blogger Pam …) asked me if I’d like to go to a movie, shopping and lunch. I love the days Pam and I spend together. First of all, we love shopping for the same things. Second, we can chat for hours so lunch…
