My kitchen is always calling me. With a few shared recipes, I hope yours will call you, too!
Serves 12-16 Fall is my favorite season. Spring has its charm, but there's just something extra special about throwing on a sweater for crisp outdoor walks, colorful leaves, outdoor markets with an abundance of delicious produce. The pears that inspired this recipe actually came right off a tree in my daughter's yard; sure can't beat... Continue Reading →
Serves 2 Tip: I almost always have homemade basic vinaigrette on hand in the refrigerator. I did when I made this hearty salad, but wanted the red wine vinegar kicked up just a little. I simply added that ingredient to my prepared vinaigrette making this recipe come together even more quickly. Simplify, simplify, simplify. :)... Continue Reading →
6-8 servings Tip: If you're not into making pie crust, keep things simple and purchase one. Another option is to make the quiche without crust. It would be equally delicious. I had 2 small bundles of dough scraps in the freezer from a previous pie bake, so decided to patch them together for this quiche.... Continue Reading →
4-6 servings Tip: This salad can easily be a vegetarian dish. Just leave out the bacon or pancetta, add some toasted almonds or cashews and serve it up. We had Homemade Caesar Dressing in the fridge and liked this salad so much we made it once to serve with grilled chicken breast and once to... Continue Reading →

Tip: This recipe uses 3/4 of a whole fresh pineapple, possibly less if it's particularly large. Of course, the remaining fruit can be enjoyed on it's own, but if you haven't tried grilling pineapple, please do! It's delicious grilled (or roasted in a hot oven) with chunks of bell pepper, red onion,... Continue Reading →
2 Entree portions Tip: Roasted cauliflower steaks have been popular for several years and are terrific served as an entree.

Makes 12 muffins or 6 jumbo muffins (shown) Tip: As with most of my recipes, this one is all about your personal tastes. Use ingredients you have on hand, or shop for your favorite veggie combination. You may prefer to spice things up with a hot pepper or you may wish to add meat... Continue Reading →
1 serving Tip: I like hot cereal for breakfast, but it gets a little boring sometimes (my own fault, I'll admit). I'm going to work harder at making hot breakfast more interesting and nutritious. I think my body will thank me. 🙂 If you'd like to join me in one new creation, give this oat... Continue Reading →
3-4 servings Tip: I do eat meat, but continue to look for meatless options and find them very satisfying when they include hearty, textured vegetables and beans. Of course, you can add meat or other proteins to this recipe, but we found it to be quite tempting and flavorful. If you haven't already, give meatless... Continue Reading →
