Tonight, it was going to be just Kylie and me sitting at the dinner table enjoying a meal. Dennis was going to be joining us later in the evening, but would miss sharing dinner with us. Knowing he’d be gone Monday night, I asked Kylie before doing my grocery shopping over the weekend, what she’d…

Turkey Chili
October is my favorite month! Once October comes around each year, I start making chili. I love chili, I love stew, all the comfort foods that we all enjoy in the fall. I made turkey chili the other night to celebrate the beginning of October and I’m going to share my latest chili recipe with…
Cajun Chicken and Chicken Andouille Sausage Over Peppers, Onion and Whipped Potatoes
I was feeling like having something a little spicy, a little cajun, for dinner. I picked up a package of Chicken Andouille sausage, along with a pound of chicken breasts a couple days ago at the market. Trader Joe’s had chicken breast that had already been cut into large chunks, so I grabbed that. I’d…
Grilled Havarti, Green Chile and Apple Sandwich
Wondering what to make for lunch today, I decided on a grilled Havarti sandwich. To the Havarti, I chose to add diced green chiles and a quarter of a sliced apple. I love to add an apple to my sandwich … something about that added crunch just does it for me. The diced green chiles…
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!”.

Beef Chili
Today there was winter storm that came through San Diego, our first winter storm of 2018. I knew we’d be getting rain and wind because I’d been watching it on the news for the last few days. I know it was nothing like the storms in the East, but when it rains in California, there…
Meatloaf
Wow! This holiday season just flew by. I can hardly believe 2018 is already here. For the first meal of the new year that I’d be cooking, I decided on comfort food … meatloaf. My Dad loved meatloaf, it was his favorite meal. He always said “the best beef is ground.” My Mom loves steak….
Italian Rump Roast
I spent the first half of this week with my Aunt Sheila and my cousins, Molly and Katie. We had such a wonderful time, as we always do. Aunt Sheila and Molly drove down from Los Angeles on Monday. We met for a wonderful lunch at a local Mexican restaurant and had a fun time…
Deli Rotisserie Chicken Tortellini Soup
Even though it was a sunny day in San Diego, I was in the mood for soup. I decided to buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli at our local grocery store and a bag of mini tortellini and make a chicken soup. I heated a few tablespoons of olive oil in my Dutch oven…
