Why on earth do people complain about turkey leftovers? I’ve never understood this. I love leftovers! When I was growing up, we always had Thanksgiving dinner mid-day, then had turkey sandwiches in the evening. I think I enjoyed that meal almost as much as the main one. Now that I cook my own turkeys,…

Praline Bars
These decadently rich cookies are surprisingly quick and easy. You’ll have people thinking you spent a lot of time in the kitchen — if you can bring yourself to share them, that is! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of this page. Adapted from The Gift-Giver’s Cookbook, by Judith Choate…
Chipotle-Orange Chicken With Rice
This incredibly easy, delicious treat of a dinner is my take on a recipe from Once a Month Meals. I resized it for two people, decreased the amount of liquid, cut the sugar and salt way back, and added some True Orange Ginger. The result is even more flavorful, and a bit less runny. As the…
Buttery Waffles
“A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.” — Mitch Hedberg Butter lovers rejoice! This one’s for you. Healthy eaters can just walk on by, there’s nothing to see here today. Or linger a moment, and take a walk on the wild side. These light and oh-so-rich waffles are a real pleasure. Plus…
Indian-Spiced Beets
I went almost a month without making a new recipe. Must be some kind of record! The plan was to go three months, ha. I’m in the midst of kitchen and hip renovations, so I froze three months of dinners ahead of time. No cooking for me during the no-kitchen, no-weight-bearing period. Until all of…
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…
Chilled Cucumber-Avocado Soup With Mint
It may be September, but since summer seems to have decided to stick around for another week, I think I can get away with one more summery recipe. Chilled soups are best in warm weather, of course. Don’t we always want what we don’t have? Cold soup when it’s hot in the summer, hot soup…
Pork Tenderloin Carnitas
Score another one for the Instant Pot! Since I bought mine, I’ve been adapting some of my slow cooker recipes for the pressure cooker. Beef stew was magnificent; black bean soup not so much. I think the bean skins need the long, slow cook, even if the bean innards don’t. Mind you, it’s still…
