Nothing says comfort food to me like a roast chicken dinner. This delicious recipe is not only easy, but you can work it in during the week. A 12-inch cast iron skillet is a must or you won’t get the same resulting flavors. Definitely use Chibata bread for the stuffing cubes. If you have to […]

If a recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup this is the only way to go. Maybe you just want a hearty cream of mushroom soup by itself. Either way this soup is really scrumptious and super easy to make. You can make it even easier if you just use the presliced white mushrooms that […]
I know you have seen many recipes for “Oven Fried Chicken”, but this one is a “keeper”! What makes it unique is that instead of buttermilk, which of course would be easier, I use a combination of milk, lemon juice, sherry, and low fat sour cream. It gives it a very distinctive and moist taste. […]
Old Fashioned Chicken Soup Studies have shown that what your grandmother use to say was true! She would say, “If you are coming down with a cold or already have one, get some chicken soup into you! You can put a variety of vegetables into it – turnip, parsnips, or even kale! However, the ones […]
Whenever my husband would visit New Orleans on business he would eat gumbo on a daily basis. He was quite enamored with the dish. I had never tried to make it before. He helped, especially with the roux making (a little tricky). I took 3 recipes and gave it the ole’ college try and it […]
This is truly an elegant dish with just a hint of meat in the sauce. Of course if you want a truly vegetarian dish, then leave out the prosciutto. However, it does kick it up to another level! Notice that the eggplant is not fried, but baked. Another plus for this delicious dish. You could […]
Italian cooks call this “Pollo Alla Cacciatora” – a variation of “Chicken Caccatore” that’s made with bacon for a deeper, heartier flavor. I like to serve this with Barilla whole grain fettuccine, which really soaks up the sauce. I know I am adding carbs, but a hard crusty bread would go great with this dish […]
One of my favorite meals. This taco filling is not too spicy so the kids are big fans of it. You can always add hot sauce if you want to kick it up a notch. My family is in love with “Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce”, which is an Asian hot sauce found in most stores. […]

A simple dish that is so delicious. The fresh ginger and the red pepper flakes give it a smooth kick! Remember the best way to store ginger is to peel it, cut it into one-inch cubes and immerse in dry sherry in a plastic container. It will keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator […]
Believe it or not, I have not had much experience with curry as a spice. In fact, I thought my husband was not fond of it. I finally asked him what he had against curry and he said that he liked curry. His mistress must have been serving it to him – just kidding. I […]
Not being fond of the “musky” taste of salmon over the years, I have sought after recipes that disguise it! This one will melt in your mouth! Leftovers are great for salads. Skillet Baked Glazed Salmon Use a cast iron skillet, oven-safe non-stick or transfer to rimmed baking sheet after cooking on top of stove […]
