I love making and having pork tenderloin for a weeknight dinner. It’s quick, easy and healthy. Kylie’s boyfriend, Jacob, brought us grapefruits and lemons from his paren’t fruit trees in their yard. I used one of the lemons as a garnish for my soup the other night and knew immediately I wanted to use the…
Turkey Soup
Coming up with what to make for Easter dinner this year was easy for me … even though at this time it’s definitely not easy to find what we may be looking for at our grocery stores right now. Luckily I had a 25 pound turkey in my freezer from the holidays that didn’t…
Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage, White Bean, Tomato and Kale Stew
This morning we woke up to rain in San Diego. It was chilly, rainy and all around gloomy – which makes for the perfect day to make a stew for dinner. I decided I would make a sweet Italian chicken sausage, white bean and kale stew on this chilly day and my husband, Dennis loved…
Tomato Tart
As I cleaned and reorganized our refrigerator on Saturday, I noticed I had a Pillsbury Pizza Dough to use. I didn’t really feel like making a pizza, per se, so decided I’d make a tomato tart that we could use as a side to our leftover chili as well as a main course for lunch…
Beef Chili
Yesterday being Sunday and also Packer Sunday, Dennis and I thought chili would be the perfect playoff game dinner. When chatting with my mom on the phone on Saturday, she mentioned adding a dash of cinnamon to the chili. Well, I did, and everyone loved it. After sautéing an onion and several stalks of celery,…
Turkey Meatballs
Are you looking for a hearty appetizer to add to your New Year’s Eve party or even your upcoming Superbowl Party? I made an appetizer twice this Holiday Season and it was a hit both times. I made it once for my annual Christmas Party and then yesterday to bring to a friend’s house. These…
Green Chile Cheese Crisp
If you saw the recipe I posted on my blog from last night, you’ll remember that it was for Chicken Tortilla Soup. I had mentioned in my blog post that Dennis and I were looking forward to enjoying that same soup again tonight for dinner. In wanting to make sure the dinner was a little…
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Who doesn’t enjoy soup on a fall day? Even if the weather doesn’t feel particularly fall-like in the area you live in, you know it’s still fall and comfort food always sounds good at this time of year. I knew we’d be home to watch Sunday football today, in particular the Green Bay Packers, so…
Ground Turkey Asian Lettuce Wraps
I love lettuce wraps. I wanted to share my version of ground turkey lettuce wraps for you all. I love the flavor so much in these (OMG! They are soooo good!) I started by making my sauce. To a large measuring glass, I combined water, reduced sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, the juice of…
Whole Grain Beef Lasagne
Yesterday was our daughter’s first day of school … her first day as a college junior. I can’t even believe she’s 20 years old and in the second half of her college career. As I always do on the first day of school, I asked her what she’d like for dinner. Kylie requested to celebrate…
