“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” — Unknown Don’t you just hate it when manufacturers change something in one of your favorite products, and not for the better? I used to buy a bean stew mix that was marvelously flavorful. It was one of those rare foods with easy preparation, easy clean-up, enough for…

Beet Greens With Garlic & Sage
I’m not big on impulse buys, but there are exceptions to every rule. When I was at the butcher recently, they had rack of lamb that was just gorgeous. I splurged and bought one. I’m usually a pretty strict grocery list follower, but it’s not rare for me to venture off-list at the butcher if…
Moroccan Lemon Chicken
This delicious dish is another one of my favorites. It’s definitely company-worthy but is simple enough to make for a weekend dinner at home. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour overall, but it’s well worth the time. You probably already have most of the ingredients. If you don’t have sumac, you can add…
Apple-Barley Chickpea Curry
Colorful, delicious curry! I started developing this easy recipe several years ago. I recall making it several times, adjusting the seasonings and refining the instructions, but never being quite satisfied. It went on the back burner, so to speak, for a few years. Long enough ago that I can’t remember what put the idea in…
Three-Bean Chili For A Crowd (Slow Cooker)
Nothing beats a hot bowl of chili on a blustery winter day. Plenty of things are tied, mind you, such as Homemade Hot Cocoa, French Honey Bread, and Beef Stew. But did you ever notice that chili is just as delicious in hot weather? There’s something about spicy food that makes you feel warmer in the winter and…
Beef Stew (Slow Cooker)
I love winter. I know, that makes my sanity suspect to some people. But I love the crisp air, the sparkly snow on the trees, the intensely blue sky, and the way you can smell the outdoors when someone comes inside. Mind you, I didn’t love it quite as much last week, when I was…
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Your grandmother was right! Chicken noodle soup really is good for what ails you! I’m sick this week. Adenovirus, if I’m right (of course I am). I won’t bore you with the details, for fear that I’ll ruin your appetite. I don’t want chicken soup today, I need it. I’m not a fan of that colored…
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 –…
