Silvery? I know! It’s an unusual name for a supper, isn’t it? I was so in the mood for a sheet pan dinner that night (it had been a long day, & my neck was acting up), but I wanted something a little different. I’d seen & impulse-bought some cute little Brussels sprouts & a nice…

Sauerbraten Style Pork Chops
Just look at these chops, aren’t they gorgeous? They weren’t on my shopping list, but I had to buy them. I learned years ago from my dad that if the butcher says something is particularly good that day, you ignore your list & take the butcher’s advice. My sister gave me this recipe a long time ago…
Moroccan-Style Haddock
I returned this week from a cruise vacation, feeling rather…large. Too many calories, too much salt. I may have over-indulged my love of creme brulée. Let’s just call it “aversion therapy,” shall we? I know, you feel so sorry for me, don’t you? We did have a lovely time. Warm weather, the sound and smell…
Black & Red Chips
Don’t you just love crispy potatoes? You can get crispy potatoes without the deep frying, by roasting them in the oven. They’re not quite as crispy as fried, but darn close. Oven roasted potatoes are also a lot easier, less smelly in the house, and a whole lot healthier than fried. I’ve tried many recipes…
Baked Penne Casserole
So you’ve made a pot of Homemade Marinara Sauce. Now what? I almost always make Baked Penne Casserole as soon as I have a fresh pot of Marinarra. This is such an easy, quick dish to throw together, and it’s quite delicious. It freezes really well, too, so I always use two 8″ x 8″ dishes &…
Homemade Marinara Sauce
This marinara is so easy and delicious, I haven’t bought a single jar since I discovered it. I can’t take credit for the recipe, it’s from Cooking Light magazine. I’ve just tweaked the prep directions a bit, to make it faster & more efficient. I also eliminated the salt they used, since my favorite crushed tomatoes don’t…
Golden Beets Roasted With Spuds & Onions
I grew a new (to me, anyway) variety of beets last summer. It’s called Cylindra, and it produces long, fat red beets instead of round ones. The shape results in more beet meat per beet, which is important when garden space is limited. I’d been watching this one beet all summer. It was evident that it…
Sprinkle Cookies
I saw these cookies last week on the Smitten Kitchen blog, and simply HAD to make them. It was all I could do to wait until I found some Christmasy sprinkles. Then it was all I could do to make myself give them away (you know who you are, and you are loved!) So of…
