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…

Buttery Waffles
“A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.” — Mitch Hedberg Butter lovers rejoice! This one’s for you. Healthy eaters can just walk on by, there’s nothing to see here today. Or linger a moment, and take a walk on the wild side. These light and oh-so-rich waffles are a real pleasure. Plus…
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…

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…

Sautéed Green Tomatoes With Baby Beet Greens
You know that old adage, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”? It’s been a weird year, weather-wise, and a busy summer. So things weren’t quite perfect in the garden. My tomatoes were slower than molasses in January, for one thing. Well past the usual time of my first harvest, most were still green. Some of…
Madras Shrimp
Just tell your guests you’ve been at this for hours. They’ll believe you because that’s how good it tastes! Nobody has to know that this is an incredibly simple, fast dish to make. Don’t just save it for company, either. It’s so quick and easy that it makes a great weeknight meal, too. If you…
