When was the last time you cleared out your pantry and refrigerator? Who knows what you’ll find. Probably 10 cans of something you always think you are out of and something that looks a little like that great meal you cooked for Christmas. My first clean out was in September. Time for another. According to [...]

Salmon, Green beans with Shallots and Red Quinoa
Tonight’s dinner was a quick fix with a enough leftover quinoa for other meals. I took advantage of a seasoning mix that is already combined so all I have to do is shake. Penzeys Spices carries many varieties. If you try any of the recipes on this blog please take a picture and send it [...]

Indian Spiced Turkey Legs with Lentils
I can thank my oldest son Andy for introducing me to Indian food. He’s a vegetarian and has found the greatest number of vegetarian dishes he enjoys are Indian and he asked me to cook them for him. He’s off at college now but I’m continuing on in learning to use different blends of spices [...]
Nora- America’s First Certified Organic Restaurant
No recipes from me tonight. I treated my husband to a night out at a wonderful restaurant in D.C. I choose Nora first because it gets rave reviews and second I like the fact that they buy from certified organic farmers and producers who do not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones or GMO’s. The [...]
Pork Tamale Casserole
I tried a new recipe tonight. The verdict from my husband: “tastes good but it’s like Mexican spam.” I’ve never made tamales before but I thought I would give a tamale casserole a try. It wasn’t too hard to mix up and I filled mine with cooked ground pork. The recipe is from Eating Well [...]

Sesame Crusted Tuna with Asian Vegetables

Prepping the vegetables takes the longest. Vegetables Ingredients: 2 organic baby bok choy cleaned and sliced [...]

Turkey with Dairy Free Smashed Potatoes & Gravy
Another busy day and one where I knew I would be away from home. You know what that means, Crockpot! I love turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy. I think I however alone in the love at my house. But since I’m the cook that’s what was for dinner. The turkey (organic of course) was [...]
Mushroom Green Beans with Meatloaf in Minutes
Tonight’s dinner was even easier to make because I just pulled out the half of meatloaf from the freezer that I had cooked a couple of weeks ago. If you’re going to cook it doesn’t take that much more effort to make twice as much as you’re going to eat in one sitting, especially when [...]
Meatloaf in Minutes
This is the easiest meatloaf I ever made and the juiciest. Ingredients: 2 pounds of ground meat- you can use a combination of beef, veal, pork or turkey and veal or just a single type. If you use only turkey make sure it’s a mix of white and dark meats so there is enough fat [...]
