Rogan Josh

Oh, I do love comfort food! This is one of my favorite Indian style dishes. The flavors are so deep and rich, it really is quite a treat. I’ve tweaked it a bit over the years to reduce the fat and sodium. I think it’s one of the best examples of how much flavor you…

Cranberry-Orange Pork Roast

So, you made Homemade Cranberry Sauce; now what? You could just eat it, of course. If that’s the case, then make a double batch, because you’re going to want to make this pork roast! Not only does the slow cooker do its magic on the pork, it also mellows the cranberry & orange flavors until they are smooth…

Great Green Sheet Pan Chicken Supper

A quick, easy, and delicious meal! The Great Green Sauce is easy to make and freezes quite well. When you’re ready for the sheet pan supper, just grab a ziptop bag of the sauce from the freezer, and thaw it in the fridge overnight. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of…

Chipotle-Mint Shrimp With Chorizo

I’m still not sure what prompted me to try pairing shrimp with chorizo. (It’s Mexican style chorizo, by the way, not Spanish.) I’m so glad I did, though, because it was delicious! There’s something about the heartiness of the sausage that’s a perfect complement to the lightness of the shrimp. Each holds the seasoning a…

Let’s Go, Orange! Sheet Pan Supper

Clap clap clapclapclap! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. My husband & chief taste tester came up with the name for this delicious sheet pan supper. Can you tell we’re both Syracuse fans?  I was out in the garden earlier, doing a little clean-up. I’m amazed at how much is still out there, considering it’s October. I decided…

Bicentennial Pork Tenderloin

One of my favorite go-to recipes when I’ve no energy to cook, or more important things to do. So fast, so simple, so delicious – it’s even fit for company! And because it’s grilled, no clean-up. Many thanks to Penzeys for inventing this great rub. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of this page. Ingredients:…

Plank Grilled Shrimp With Summer Veggies & Pasta

Summer splendor on a fork! This is the perfect meal for a hot summer day. Fresh, with a delicate balance of flavors. A little smoky from the planks, but not so as to overpower the veggies; a little subtle sweetness from the balsamic, peppery zip from the basil, and mini mouth-explosions from the salt. It…

Grilled Moroccan Style Pork Tenderloin With Warm Bulgur-Vegetable Salad

Wow, is this ever tasty! A great example of how healthy food definitely does NOT need to be boring or taste like sawdust. And you get a pretty big plate of food for under 600 calories! High fiber, low fat; if you’re watching your sodium, you could easily decrease the salt. Once you’ve done a little chopping,…
