I remember this as one of my dad’s favorite lunches. Well, minus the whole wheat bread. He liked his sandwiches on swirly rye. As a kid, I didn’t much care for green olives. It was a rare thing to be granted food preference concessions in our house. You ate what was served, period. Egg salad was…

Cilantro Rice
This is an easy, versatile side dish. I love it with nearly everything Mexican (especially in burritos) or Southwest style, or even with other things if I have some cilantro I want to use up. Depending on what else I’m serving, sometimes I make this with water & sometimes with broth. I usually use Uncle…
Hard-Cooked Eggs
I never really thought about why I don’t cook hard-boiled eggs very often. I love them: deviled, in Egg & Olive, sliced on buttered toast, even plain for a snack or quick breakfast. In retrospect, I think it’s because cooking them is a bit of a pain. I can use exactly the same technique, and for every…
Pork Medallions With Grainy Mustard Sauce
Have you ever noticed how some of the most wonderful foods are rather plain-looking? There’s a lesson in there somewhere, as you could say the same thing about towns, restaurants, even people. This is such a quick, easy dish to throw together, but don’t let that fool you. It works great as a weeknight meal, but it’s also…
Cooking Dried Chickpeas
I bought an Instant Pot® about a month ago. I’d been flirting with the idea of a pressure cooker for ages. I recently read an article that says not only are they faster than other methods, they actually can do a better job. That’s what really got me interested. Time is not an issue for me. I’m fortunate to…
Garlicky Pasta With Beans and Broccoli Rabe
This is one of our favorite Meatless Monday dishes. So much flavor for so little effort! It’s an adaptation of a recipe I first saw on Smitten Kitchen, one of my favorite food blogs. I rarely tweak anything Deb publishes, as she’s brilliant and always spot-on. Really, all I’ve done is add the beans for…
Santa Fe Stew
Here is one of my favorite recipes of all time! It’s so yummy, very filling, and really easy to make. This definitely falls into the category of comfort food in our house. But unlike a lot of comfort foods, this stuff is actually good for you! No matter how often I make it, we…
Golden Sheet Pan Supper
I do love my sheet pan suppers! They’re so quick and easy, and there are endless variations you can come up with for seasonings. Having named one of my sheet pan suppers “Silvery,” I thought it would be fun to have a golden one as well. With so many vegetables, this sheet pan supper is…
