I love winter. I know, that makes my sanity suspect to some people. But I love the crisp air, the sparkly snow on the trees, the intensely blue sky, and the way you can smell the outdoors when someone comes inside. Mind you, I didn’t love it quite as much last week, when I was…

Golden Sheet Pan Supper
I do love my sheet pan suppers! They’re so quick and easy, and there are endless variations you can come up with for seasonings. Having named one of my sheet pan suppers “Silvery,” I thought it would be fun to have a golden one as well. With so many vegetables, this sheet pan supper is…
Silvery Sheet Pan Supper
Silvery? I know! It’s an unusual name for a supper, isn’t it? I was so in the mood for a sheet pan dinner that night (it had been a long day, & my neck was acting up), but I wanted something a little different. I’d seen & impulse-bought some cute little Brussels sprouts & a nice…
Herbed Rack of Lamb With Beets
“What’s good today?” I asked the butcher. Pork chops were on my list, lamb was not, but that was irrelevant. I learned early that when it comes to meet, the grocery list is…more like guidelines. My dad was a very organized person: A Place For Everything, and Everything In Its Place. Mom would write up the grocery list,…
Sauerbraten Style Pork Chops
Just look at these chops, aren’t they gorgeous? They weren’t on my shopping list, but I had to buy them. I learned years ago from my dad that if the butcher says something is particularly good that day, you ignore your list & take the butcher’s advice. My sister gave me this recipe a long time ago…
Moroccan-Style Haddock
I returned this week from a cruise vacation, feeling rather…large. Too many calories, too much salt. I may have over-indulged my love of creme brulée. Let’s just call it “aversion therapy,” shall we? I know, you feel so sorry for me, don’t you? We did have a lovely time. Warm weather, the sound and smell…
Soy Sauced Chicken With Olives
This recipe has long been a favorite in our family, and it just keeps getting better. I’ve tweaked it over the years to improve the flavor, decrease the sodium, and streamline the preparation. I think you’ll really enjoy it. It’s quick & easy enough to make after you get home from work, but it tastes…
Baked Penne Casserole
So you’ve made a pot of Homemade Marinara Sauce. Now what? I almost always make Baked Penne Casserole as soon as I have a fresh pot of Marinarra. This is such an easy, quick dish to throw together, and it’s quite delicious. It freezes really well, too, so I always use two 8″ x 8″ dishes &…
