Looking through my stash of recipes recently, I came upon this old favorite. I haven’t made it in ages, though I’ve no idea why. It’s adapted, with very little change, from Cooking Light. Choose firm, slightly tart grapes for best results. Either white or purple works for the grape juice, just be sure to get…

Balsamic Beets With Broccolini
Balsamic Beets With Broccolini is so easy, you don’t even need a proper kitchen! I know because the first time I made this, I didn’t have a kitchen at all. And I was on crutches. So we’re talking a really easy recipe here! Please forgive the lighting in most of the pics – the little…
Rosemary-Sage Pork With White Beans
The first thing you’re gonna think when you put this on the table is, “No way that’s for only two people!” Sure, if you want to split it between three people, be my guest. But two of you can lick the plate clean for only 500 calories apiece, and a whopping 21 grams of fiber…
Margarita Chicken
You’ve heard of umami, right? It’s been a big buzz word in cooking lately. It’s one of those things that can be really hard to define, but you know it when you taste it. Come to think of it, the other tastes aren’t much easier to describe. What can you say about sweet, other than…it’s…
Grilled Cumin-Sage Pork Tenderloin
What do you make when your sister is coming for dinner? It’s got to be special (because she is), but not so time-consuming that you’re stuck in the kitchen instead of enjoying her company. I thought I’d be brave and try something new that I found on The Spruce, with very few tweaks. I don’t…
Broccolini Farro Salad
Can we have this every night? It’s that good! As with many of my favorite recipes, this one originated at Smitten Kitchen. I rarely tweak anything from that site — Deb Perelman is just that brilliant — but here I opted for broccolini rather than broccoli. It’s a bit sweeter, and the stems are more tender. Otherwise, it’s…
Pork, Potato, & Fennel Sheet Pan Supper
Today’s sheet pan supper was inspired by a recipe from Cooking Light way back in 2001. It’s delicious, and someday I’ll make it again to post here. But today, I just wasn’t in the mood to sauté. Sometimes, I just wanna pile some stuff on a pan and stuff it in the oven, yeah?…
Carrots With Crispy Shallot Butter
Uh-oh, I’m out of chives! I’ve had mixed luck growing them in my Aerogarden because for some reason, they don’t always germinate. I had some leftover carrots from a sheet pan supper, and I wanted a quick and easy way to prepare them for dinner. Carrots With Chive Butter is my go-to for that,…
