Doesn’t this look yummy? Yeah, wish I could take the credit for this picture, but in all honesty, I can’t. As I mentioned before, my poor lap top is in the hospital for brain surgery. Until I have my own system up and running again, I am stealing pictures from the world-wide-web rather than down-load my own pictures. Still cooking, still snapping away, just keeping my pictures for another day. Maybe someday soon, I’ll go back and update with my photos.

Cooking Made Easy
If it’s Thursday, it must be Italian – or whatever Thursday means to you. I know this is going to sound crazy, but one of the ways I’m keeping track of the days is with the use of a weekly menu planner. It’s on the refrigerator. I have a little circular magnet that is moved from one day to the next. My family knows what to expect for dinner, and I know what day of the week it is and what I need to prepare.
Simple Mashed Potatoes
There are some very scary things coming across my feeds – chefs teaching people how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Really, just a simple grilled cheese sandwich. We aren’t talking gourmet cheeses and fancy techniques, we are talking slap some butter on a couple of slices of bread, put American Processed Cheese between the slices and cook on a griddle until golden with the cheese melted.
Slow-Simmer Cilantro Chicken Tacos
Have I mentioned that I love – and I do mean L-O-V-E my Instant Pot. It just sits there, on a table in the corner of my kitchen, waiting to hum to life and bring us something delightfully delicious. You can do everything from saute to bake to pressure cook or slow-cook. It’s a one-stop shop for so many things.
Slow-Cooker Mongolian Beef over Rice
I have been craving Chinese-Asian food. It is making me crazy. I don’t care what dish we have at this point – Lemon Chicken, Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli. It all sounds delicious. Hubby and I were talking that I might need to whip up a giant batch of chicken and make different sauces – one Sweet and Sour, one Lemon and one Orange Chicken.
Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken Dinner
So very sorry I’ve been away. My computer (my life!!!) decided to stop functioning. I took it to a repair shop, they ran all sorts of tests, tried CPR and finally had no choice but to pronounce my baby dead. Thank goodness the hard drive was fine. Have ordered a new lap top, but it’s on back order (like everything else) and so I’ve been without a way to connect to the rest of the world. I’m using a friend’s system, so it will be a hit and miss since I won’t always have access, but I’m here for now. I’ve so missed everyone!
Green Chili Four Cheese Enchiladas
Happy Friday! For some of us, that means something – like the end of another grueling work-week. For others, Friday is just another in a long line of endless days. In our house, it means a meatless meal.
Friday and National Cheese Ball Day
Wow – do you realize we are over half-way through April? How the heck did that happen? Oh, I know – it’s flying by because March was unusually long. Am I wrong, or were there something like 200 days in March? I don’t know if time moving swifter is a good thing or a bad thing. I can’t tell anymore if we are running toward a bottomless cliff. Do we hit the breaks or keep on going? Your guess is as good as mine.
The Classics Never Get Old
Don’t you just love it when things come together so perfectly? Right on the heels of Easter, with that delicious ham and all those left-overs is National Eggs Benedict Day. What a great way to utilize at lease some of that ham!
Mushroom Chicken Thighs
Today is the Day of The Mushroom Day. This is not to be confused with National Mushroom Day, October 15 or National Stuffed Mushroom Day, February 4. How many days can fungi have? Looks like at least three to me. Now Stuffed Mushrooms, I get the distinction. But Mushroom Day and Day of the Mushroom – come on now. That’s really pushing it.
Would You Believe?
Today is National Glazed Spiral Ham Day. Yeah, a little late for Easter, I know. However; since Easter can fall as late as April 25, maybe the Ham people were rolling the dice in that April 15 and Easter might be one and the same. Mind you, that hasn’t happened since 2001. Of course, with the popularity of an Easter Ham, it’s not like we aren’t going to think Glaze Spiral Ham even without a National Day.
Titanic Remembrance Day
Today is Titanic Remembrance Day. No surprise there, for it was in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912 that the unsinkable Titanic ended her maiden voyage at the bottom of the sea. She wasn’t the first ship to sink, nor the last. Yet the Titanic is that tragedy that we seem to be drawn to, seeing her through Rose-Colored glasses and a romantic heart.
Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce
On Easter Sunday, Hubby made a request. He doesn’t ask much of me in the kitchen, let’s me be the one to plan the meals and eats what’s placed before him. However; that morning he did make a request. He wanted steamed rather than roasted asparagus, and he wanted me to make a silky Hollandaise Sauce.
Liquid Smoke Spice Rubbed Country Ribs
I can think of a host of reasons to be bummed during this Pandemic Isolation. I miss all the weekend fairs and festivals, especially the little Farmer’s Markets and Antique Street Fairs. I miss walking about up in the foothills, exploring all the quaint little mining communities. I miss wine tasting and the fellowship of Sunday Mass.
Change it Up Beef Burgundy Pearl Onion Stew
When this whole Pandemic lock down began, Hubby and I took stock of everything we had in the house. The more meals I could create using what was on hand, the less times we would need to be exposed to our fellow shoppers at the grocery store. It just made sense.
