This might be the easiest, tastiest scallop recipe you’ll ever make. My Chief Taste Tester says these were the best scallops he’s ever had. Cleanup is a breeze, too! My stumbling upon the idea was purely pragmatic, although it seems so obvious in retrospect. Some months ago, I wanted to use up some leftover dilly-lemon…

Oregano Pork Chops With Zucchini & Caramelized Onions
Sticktoitiveness: noun. The quality of persisting at something; tenacity. I had the best fourth-grade teacher. The first time I heard her use this word is also my first memory of someone using a word other than “stubborn” to describe my unwillingness to give up; she made it into a compliment. I also loved her for…
Roasted Butternut Squash
Well, that was a longer blogging break than I’d had in mind. First, I took a week off to try to finish the wedding quilt I’m making for my daughter and son-in-law. I was sooooo close to having it done on time! But nope, didn’t quite make it. So then I thought I could finish…

Shrimp Garam Masala
Family favorite! This exciting dish has it all: Bursting with flavor, nutritious, quick, and easy! You’ll want to add this to your weeknight go-to list. I’ve skipped the onions and peppers more than once, either because I ran out of them or of energy, and nobody complained. I like it better with them, but sometimes…
Blueberry Balsamic Chicken With Bulgur, Tomatoes, and Kale
I know, blueberries on chicken, right? Not an everyday occurrence! My Chief Taste Tester (a.k.a. husband) is exceptionally open-minded about new foods, but even he was skeptical at first. Trust me, it’s yummy! The flavors in this dish complement each other so well, it’s almost hard to pick out the individual tastes. The result is…
Sautéed Zucchini With Tomatoes & Cumin
I bet you see tomatoes and zucchini and think, “Italian.” Not this time! The cumin and coriander make this dish a great accompaniment to Margarita Chicken or even a Middle Eastern style meal. The stars are the zucchini and red tomatoes. I tossed in a few green tomatoes because my garden is weird this summer;…
Chilled Cantaloupe Soup
“Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” — Ernestine Ulmer Chilled soup is so refreshing in hot weather, isn’t it? I love to order it when I’m eating out, but I don’t make it nearly often enough. Which is pretty silly, when you think about how easy it is to make if you have a food…
