Less Meat, More Protein
Not sure if it is true with all ladies, but I have found for myself, and from speaking with others, that even modest portions of animal flesh protein are becoming less and less appealing. There are so many options with … Continue reading

Black Beans Deluxe
NOLA Boy loves beans of any color, so I rotate them, but try to keep a supply on hand at all times. The InstantPot has made beans so very easy, it is nearly criminal not to enjoy them to the … Continue reading

Olive Omelette
On the inside were mushrooms, onions, and extra sharp Cheddar cheese. It was a good thing that I had my iPhone at the ready, because this baby disappeared right before my very eyes. The one-week report on the cataract surgery … Continue reading

Fancy Pants Chili con Carne
For some reason, when I fill my plate for a meal, I seldom remember that I will probably be taking a picture of it, so, as usual, the placement of the food in this picture is not ideal. Clearly the … Continue reading

A Penne for Your Thoughts
Remember the Eggplant Ragout and the Mini Penne? Well, of course there was leftover penne (so handy to have at the ready), so a quick lunch was available by sautéing some pasilla and red peppers, and scallions – then adding … 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

One Potato
Now that’s what I call a LOADED baked potato. Lunch was really late this day, so dinnertime rolled around, and neither of us was really hungry. I had put six large-ish baking potatoes in the Crock-Pot, just to have on … Continue reading

Easy Enchiladas
To make this delicious and quick lunch treat, I used leftover meatloaf, but you can start with ground meat, or shredded roast beef, or even bits of leftover pork. Seasonings are cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, mild red pepper granules, … Continue reading

Dip ‘n’ Crunch – Squawk-a-moley
I’ve been experimenting with my homemade hummus and other ingredients to make a more interesting dip than just the hummus on its own. You see the final (at least for now) result above. It is equal parts of hummus, sour … Continue reading

Tapenade in Dressing
This bottled tapenade was really condensed, thus VERY salty. I cut it with sour cream, and it was quite delightful on top of the roasted chicken breast the other night. A little goes a very long way to adding … Continue reading
Crispy Burrito with Squiggly Sour Cream and Spanish Rice
A sour cream container is slow to empty around here, so I thought that a squeeze container would be just the ticket. It keeps unwanted air and other debris from getting into the product. I thought it might … Continue reading
Aubergine Mediterranean (Eggplant Italiano)
We love eggplant, but I don’t always remember to start salting it down an hour ahead of time, but this time I did! I had about twenty beautiful tomatoes and a whole batch of red peppers, so with two of … Continue reading

Anasazi Enchilada
This is so named because I used Anasazi beans for part of the filling. Although this looks pretty fancy, it was dead simple. Inside there is the filling, which was merely the beans mashed up a bit with some of … Continue reading

Breaking With Tradition
Inspired by a friend’s (waving to Beverly) omelet yesterday, I decided to break with tradition and make myself an omelet for this morning’s SUNDAY SPECIAL. It is two eggs, lightly mixed with a generous spoonful of sour cream and poured … Continue reading
