I love salads. This is one of my favorites and I make it a lot in the summer. You can work with whatever you have on hand. If I have left over corn on the cob in the summer, I will slice it off the cob and add it to salads. I also like to […]
I love homemade salad dressings and I am here to tell you, it is so easy and no big deal to make your own homemade dressing. Most will keep for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator and when you make it yourself it isn’t going to include all kinds of weird chemical ingredients that […]
I have a secret……..I have a new love in my life….De Cecco pasta. Any kind. OMG. Yes, it’s that good. I tried it last week for the first time, spaghetti. It was life changing. Serious. If you had told me before a brand of dried pasta could totally make the difference I would believe you..to […]
You know the delicious salad dressing you get on the salad at your local Japanese steak house? This tastes just like it but you can make it at home. There are quite a few ingredients and you can work with it. For example, the lemon is a nice touch but not necessary. This makes a […]
Sometimes it’s fun to mix up the side dishes. I don’t know about you but during the week, mine can get a little hard to mix up. Potatoes, rice, pasta, trying some new grains. My biggest challenge is making something delicious, healthy, that everyone likes. If you are a parent, the “everyone” likes can be […]

I call it fresh tomato pasta because you are cooking the tomatoes very briefly, 10 minutes so they still have that fresh taste. They cook long enough to break down some of the juices and the fresh tomato juices make the […]

These are Bill’s absolute favorite for a Sunday morning. I have made these so many times, I could make them in my sleep with my hands tied behind my back! Ok, maybe not. They are super easy to make and so delicious. DO NOT try to cheat by buying pre-shredded frozen potatoes. They are not […]

Day 3 of back on track eating, I made this new recipe last night from a Blog called Just a Taste. It was delicious. Quick and Healthy! The only change I made was to use 1/2 cup brown sugar, the sauce was still great. The recipe says it serves 2 but with a pound of […]

Char Siu Pork is Chinese Barbeque. Although there is a little ketchup in the recipe, this is not American BBQ. The soy, hoisin, ginger and 5 spice give it a savory Asian flavor. This is super easy to make and so delicious. Serve with the shredded pork on top of your favorite rice and some stir […]
This was so flavorful and a great way to spice up your chicken dinner. 21Day fix approved. Kid and Bill approved. Julie approved. It’s a winner. Leftovers tasted great heated up with some zucchini on the side. If you want it to cook faster, cut the chicken into bite size and it will probably take […]
