A family favorite for years! This is a one-bowl dinner that everybody likes. You can even do the prep ahead of time; then just assemble the packets & bake. And clean-up is a breeze. The chicken is incredibly moist & tender. I’m not usually a huge fan of zucchini, but I really love it in…

Homemade Mac & Cheese
This is the cheesiest, stick-to-your-ribs-iest, comfort-food mac & cheese you’ll ever make. It’s not health food, that’s for sure, but is it ever delicious! MyNetDiary gives it a D, no doubt for the high fat, which is nearly all saturated. This recipe makes a lot. You’ll serve 8 – 10 as a main dish, 12 –…
Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce
I have a treat for you today: My mom’s Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce (shown here on Vanilla Frozen Custard). This was one of her favorite recipes. She used to make it well in advance of dinner, and just leave it sitting on the stove with the spoon still in it from stirring in the…
Black Bean Enchiladas
Happy Meatless Monday, a day in advance! You will surely be happy eating these hearty enchiladas. We were almost done with dinner before my chief tester noticed there was no meat. They’re that good. They go great with Sweet & Spicy Pickled Peppers if you actually have any left. So many meatless recipes end up not being…
Great Green Sauce
I had an overabundance of green peppers & green tomatoes that I brought in just before a hard frost last week. I froze quite a few of them, used some others in Green Tomato Sauté, and still had some left over. So I thought, you can make sauce from everything else (tomatoes, Basil, dill, roasted…
Freezing Green Peppers Galore!
Here it is, mid-October, and I still have peppers in the garden! Green tomatoes, too, and just a few snow peas. I’ve only had to cover the garden once so far, for a light frost. The other night, though, a hard frost was predicted. I figured I’d better just go ahead & harvest them, or I’d end up having…
Basil-Walnut Pesto
How can such an amazingly simple recipe produce such mouth-watering results? Fresh ingredients, that’s how! I had the incredibly good fortune of having an abundance of fresh basil from my Aerogarden at the same time my garden’s snow peas were ready, on an evening of perfect weather for eating out on the porch. With very little time and effort, we…
Green Tomato Sauté
We had our first real frost this week. Considerably later than usual, so I’m not complaining! There’s still a lot left in the garden, though. I figured the Swiss chard would be okay with a light frost, as would beets & carrots. The rest, I covered with frost covers & an old duvet cover that fits…
