This easy seasoning goes great on just about anything you’d like to grill. It makes enough for one pork tenderloin or two to four burgers.

Taco Pie
Why’s the plate messy? Because that’s my second helping, that’s why. This is one of my favorite recipes, and I was hungry! It’s my adaptation of a recipe my mom used to make. I’ve changed a few things from the way she made it. One was to make my own seasoning for better flavor and…
Sweet Potato Dog Treats
I’m a dog person, have been since I was five or six years old. Before that, not so much. When I was a tiny tot, a Saint Bernard greeted me a bit over-enthusiastically. I was too little to understand that knocking me to the ground and towering over me licking my face was the dog’s…

Orange Snowball Melt-Aways
I just love orange in baked goods, especially during the holidays. These delightful little cookies melt away in your mouth, with a burst of fresh orange flavor. The tradition of oranges in Christmas stockings goes way back. In my family, it was said to be for good luck. And when my great-grandmother Mary Ann Duncan…
Beef Tenderloin Roast With Cracked Pepper
This elegant yet simple dish from The New Basics cookbook (1989) has become the traditional star of our Christmas dinner. If there’s one thing our family agrees on, it’s beef. This roast is really easy to prepare and can be assembled several hours ahead of time. The seasonings complement the meat perfectly, neither overpowering nor…
