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…

Black & Red Chips

Don’t you just love crispy potatoes? You can get crispy potatoes without the deep frying, by roasting them in the oven. They’re not quite as crispy as fried, but darn close. Oven roasted potatoes are also a lot easier, less smelly in the house, and a whole lot healthier than fried. I’ve tried many recipes…

Golden Beets Roasted With Spuds & Onions

I grew a new (to me, anyway) variety of beets last summer. It’s called Cylindra, and it produces long, fat red beets instead of round ones. The shape results in more beet meat per beet, which is important when garden space is limited. I’d been watching this one beet all summer. It was evident that it…

Citrus Chicken With Chard

​What a colorful, flavorful dinner! Just bursting with a yummy citrus blend. It’s a great way to introduce chard if you or a dining companion have never tried it. You won’t even know it’s healthy, it’s that good! (Another good chard intro is Blueberry-Balsamic Green Beans & Chard, but most people have easier access to…

Grilled Rosemary Chicken With Balsamic & Shallots

The rosemary in my garden enjoyed remarkable success this year. I don’t know if it’s because the summer was so dry, or because rosemary loves the Earth Box, or if it was just dumb luck. Either way, I’ve been having a field day using rosemary in as many recipes as I can. Can’t say I’m…

Planked Babyback Ribs: Oh, My!

WHY did I wait so long to try this??? And when can we have it again? That’s what went through my head the first time I made ribs this way. I was planking all sorts of things all summer long. I can’t even begin to imagine why I didn’t just start with these! It just doesn’t get any…

PoTastys

  These little treasures are so tasty! They can almost keep you from noticing the rest of your meal. Almost. Unless your entrée is awesome, which it was. I stopped by Primal one day in September for a pork roast. It’s one of the first things I like to make in the Fall, to go…

Spiced Peanut Sheet Pan Chicken Supper

It’s Sheet Pan Supper season!  As much as I love Summer, I always enjoy the change of seasons. I’m sorry to see the warmth go, but I love crisp Fall & Winter days almost as much. And of course, there’s always food to go with each season. This yummy sheet pan supper that I made last…
