Healthy Mac ‘n’ Cheese
The perennial favorite comfort food . . . Between the rainy and chilly weather (yes, I am a weather wuss!) and my continued inability to walk very far, I haven’t been to the grocery store for nearly three weeks, so … Continue reading

Shaved Parmesan and Fontina

Vindaloo
It started out as Split Pea Soup, but things have a way of morphing in my kitchen. I had a lovely vat of home brewed chicken broth, and it was a chilly (for Arizona !) day, so a nice bowl … Continue reading

Italian Meatballs and Stir Fry Peppers

Intense Carrots
This dish is not what it probably looks like . . . it is not pasta with a tomato/meat sauce. As the visible jar would hint, the “sauce” is simply some of the red pepper and eggplant spread that I … Continue reading

Eggplant Ragout and Mini Penne
Eggplant . . . not my favorite food, but WOW – this turned out great. And unexpectedly easy. I read somewhere years ago that it improves the stringent feeling of eggplant if it is salted and drained before cooking/roasting it. … Continue reading

Versatility
Freshly sautéed veggies, leftover noodly shells, boneless chicken thighs from the Nesco Roaster, and some fresh salsa from the deli. We generously sprinkled freshly-grated Romano over the top. I N S T A N T F E A S … Continue reading

Pasta Pasilla
You probably can’t tell from this picture, but this is a tiny little dish – about the size you would eat a small portion of ice cream out of. This was an emergency grab of a picture of this delicious … Continue reading

Pepper Steak Times Three
Pepper steak is a big fave for a quick, healthy dinner (or lunch). We never seem to tire of it, and this week, we had it three different times. Not consecutively, mind you, but we did have it on three … Continue reading

Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Steamed Cabbage and Heavy Veggie Sauce
Not sure why I don’t make it more often, but the homemade Rice-A-Roni shown above is one of my favorite side dishes. It looks so plain, but oh, boy, is it ever flavorful! The boxed version is disproportionately expensive, full … Continue reading

The End of the Rana

Turkey Cacciatore
This looks like a really simple dinner, and it was. BUT the flavors were oh, so lovely together. The turkey was from a turkey breast that I baked when we were expecting some company, and there was some leftover. I … Continue reading

Stir Fry with Orecchiette
I just love the bright colors of any stir fry, and this one was especially good. I wrapped a piece of bacon around already-cooked boneless chicken thighs, reheated them enough so that the bacon cooked, and served them with the … Continue reading

Stir Fry Soup
This looks more noodle-y than it really is because I just tossed the noodles on top. I refrigerate the soup separately from any kind of grain or pasta because it soaks up all the broth, making the grain/pasta too soft … Continue reading
