Yes, pink-centered pork! If you learned to cook in the twentieth or early twenty-first century, or learned from someone who did, you probably learned to cook every last hint of pink out of your pork. And you probably used fattier cuts, because anything lean was like shoe leather when well-done. News flash: In 2011, the…

Turkey – Pea Alfredo with Linguine
Why on earth do people complain about turkey leftovers? I’ve never understood this. I love leftovers! When I was growing up, we always had Thanksgiving dinner mid-day, then had turkey sandwiches in the evening. I think I enjoyed that meal almost as much as the main one. Now that I cook my own turkeys,…
Chipotle-Orange Chicken With Rice
This incredibly easy, delicious treat of a dinner is my take on a recipe from Once a Month Meals. I resized it for two people, decreased the amount of liquid, cut the sugar and salt way back, and added some True Orange Ginger. The result is even more flavorful, and a bit less runny. As the…
Savory Pork Medallions With Apples
It’s apple season! I love apples. They are the perfect fruit: crisp, sweet, and tart. I’ve become spoiled living here. There are countless apple orchards where you can pick your own or buy them at the farm stand. Grocery store apples just don’t compare, so I get as many as I can while they’re in…
Carrots With Chive Butter
The very best carrots are the ones you pluck from the dirt, rinse with the hose, and eat raw. Since those aren’t always available, sometimes I do buy them from the grocery store. This is by far my favorite way to cook carrots. I don’t remember my mom ever making them any other way, and…
Sesame-Soy Chicken With Rice
I’m in love with Instant Pot Freezer Meals! I started experimenting with them as part of my “survive the kitchen & hip renovations” plan. All of which is progressing nicely. My new cabinets are going up, and the new range hood is on order. The appliance folks assure me this one will move enough air…
Indian-Spiced Beets
I went almost a month without making a new recipe. Must be some kind of record! The plan was to go three months, ha. I’m in the midst of kitchen and hip renovations, so I froze three months of dinners ahead of time. No cooking for me during the no-kitchen, no-weight-bearing period. Until all of…
Moroccan Lemon Chicken
This delicious dish is another one of my favorites. It’s definitely company-worthy but is simple enough to make for a weekend dinner at home. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour overall, but it’s well worth the time. You probably already have most of the ingredients. If you don’t have sumac, you can add…
