It’s no secret that we love grilled cheese here at our house. But, I never make straight up grilled cheese with American cheese on white bread. Ever. I always mix it up with different breads, usually something really grainy with great texture, various cheeses, and other yummy fillings. This time, I went a pretty hearty […]
Olive oil
Winter Chopped Salad
I’ve said before that whenever we go to our friends’ Dave and Kylie’s for dinner, we bring a salad (or when they come over, they bring the salad). This was my most recent creation for dinner at Dave and Kylie’s. I have to admit, I am kind of a salad freak. I love them, and […]
Tomato Soup with Pesto Grilled Cheese Croutons
Happy 2013! I’d love to give some beautiful philosophical discourse, ticking off all of the memorable events of 2012 and wishing everyone all the happiness and success they desire in 2013, but I’m just not good at that stuff. I’ll just say that though 2012 had its ups and downs, all in all we feel […]
Cheesy Chicken in Poblano Sauce
I saw this recipe, as you might have guessed, on Rachael Ray. I originally saved it for my husband because he loves peppers and spicy food. Well, it actually wasn’t that spicy – I was totally able to tolerate the heat level. We both absolutely loved this and will definitely be making it again. I […]
Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Cannellini Beans
When I made this last week, it got absolutely rave reviews from both Tim and me. I knew he liked it when he took his first bite, said, “Yeah!” and gave me a high five. A few more bites into it, he asked me where I got the recipe. I replied, “Rachael Ray, my old […]

Baked Eggplant Parmesan
Eggplant Parmesan, and eggplant in general, is one of those things that I didn’t really like until I was an adult…like almost 30. But in my defense, I never really tried it until then, so I didn’t know if I liked it or not. It just so happens that eggplant is in season right […]
Mar-A-Lago Turkey Burgers
It’s been a while since I posted. Did you miss me? As you know, we’ve been remodeling our kitchen, so that is keeping us busy, plus we were out of town for a wedding last weekend. I apologize for neglecting you all. As a peace offering, please accept this delicious turkey burger recipe – my […]
A Peachy New Chicken Recipe
Peaches are in abundance right now, so I’m always looking for yummy ways to use them. I really love eating them al natural this time of year – they’re just so perfectly ripe and juicy and flavorful. I mean, let’s be honest, the rest of the year, peaches aren’t worth a darn. So this time […]
