It may be September, but since summer seems to have decided to stick around for another week, I think I can get away with one more summery recipe. Chilled soups are best in warm weather, of course. Don’t we always want what we don’t have? Cold soup when it’s hot in the summer, hot soup…

Pork Tenderloin Carnitas
Score another one for the Instant Pot! Since I bought mine, I’ve been adapting some of my slow cooker recipes for the pressure cooker. Beef stew was magnificent; black bean soup not so much. I think the bean skins need the long, slow cook, even if the bean innards don’t. Mind you, it’s still…
Homemade Applesauce
Fall is nearly here, and do you know what that means? Fresh, homemade applesauce! Definitely one of my favorite foods to make, and to eat. And soooo much better than canned! I’m fortunate to live in an area with several nearby orchards. Going apple picking is a favorite family and school activity around here, or you can buy your…
Sichuan Style Shrimp with Spinach
Szechuan? Sichuan? It’s all about which system is used to write Chinese using the Roman alphabet. Szechuan is the Wade-Giles spelling, from the system developed by British diplomats in China in the 19th century. It’s being replaced in many places by Sichuan, which is from the Pinyin system developed in and used by China in…
Genesee Valley Pork Medallions
Congratulations are in order: Today is my son’s wedding! It’s very exciting. We’re all so happy for him and thrilled to officially welcome her into the family. Of course, I’m not actually sitting at my computer today — I’ve scheduled this to post automatically. There are better, more important things to do this morning! I’ve…
Homemade Hummus
Hummus is one of my favorite foods of all time. I can vividly recall the first time I ever had it. Yes, there was a dark time in the US of A when “international foods” involved a bottle of Kraft salad dressing or a can of Campbell’s soup and a couple of pinches of something…
August Chicken
It’s August, for just a little while longer, which means the garden is full of vegetables just begging to be eaten. I recently made my first batch of Fresh Tomato Sauce; now it’s time to come up with ways to use it. I wanted a one-pot meal because my dishwasher is still broken. I don’t mind…
Greek Grilled Chicken
This easy, delicious chicken is wonderful by itself with a side of Tzatziki, or cut up and served in Gyros. You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe, which I’ve adapted from RecipeTin Eats, at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: 2 lb. (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs 3 large garlic cloves 1 lemon 1 bunch…
