I’ve been eyeing marinated goat cheese medallions at Trader Joe’s for several months now and finally decided to pick up a container. I used them as the basis for my homemade pizza last Saturday night. This, along with a jar of roasted red peppers was all I needed to make a wonderful pizza that…
Chicken Kabobs
The last time I had kabobs was last year at my sister’s house. They made them for dinner and it was one of my favorite dinners ever. I don’t know why I don’t make kabobs more often, I seem to forget about them and then a little reminder goes off in my head and I…
Tequila Citrus Shredded Pork Tacos
I have a great recipe for your Taco Tuesday, or any other night of the week. This shredded pork can be used in mini street tacos, burritos, on a salad, on a bun … you name it. I think you can eat this in so many ways and I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to make it…
Mexican Lasagne
Are you looking for something tasty to include in your Mexican Monday or Taco Tuesday rotation? I have a recipe that I think will satisfy your tastebuds for either of those nights, or any night, actually. I’d been wanting to try and make a Mexican lasagne for a couple weeks now, so finally got around…
Plum Tomato and Burrata Pizza
Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. For all that celebrate, I wish you a wonderful Lenten season. On Fridays during Lent, and on Ash Wednesday, we don’t eat meat, which means I need to come up with recipes that are vegetarian for those Fridays, and, of course, today. Dennis and I would…

Mediterranean Angel Hair Pasta
It’s always great to find things in your pantry in which you can pull together a dinner in a quick and easy way. The dinner I made last night was just that type of dinner. I had everything I needed, but the chicken (thawed, at least) so when I was at Trader Joe’s grabbing a…
Chicken Apple Sausage, Leek and Tomato Flatbread Pizza
I’ve been looking forward to making this flatbread pizza for dinner all day – mostly because I know Dennis has been looking forward to having this for dinner tonight. He works really hard for our family and I like to work hard at home to make sure everything is nice for him, and I especially…
Pasta with Ground Turkey, Carrot and Fennel
Are you looking for a pasta dinner that’s packed with flavor? This dish may be just the pasta for you if you like a lot of flavor and a pasta dish that packs a punch. I did add a good amount of red pepper flakes, which really added to the taste of the meat mixture….
Rump Roast
Winter is the perfect season for cooking a roast. We’ve been having quite the chilly and rainy weather in San Diego this week, so decided it would be the perfect day to cook a rump roast. As luck would have it, the sun was actually shining for most of the day, but that’s OK ……
