Once upon a time in America, the only thing open on Thanksgiving were grocery stores, and only in the morning for all those last minute Thanksgiving emergencies. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a few. Forgot the butter for the rolls. Forgot the yeast for the bread or the whipped cream for the pies.

Easy French Toast Cinnamon Sticks
Did you know that today is National French Toast Day? Like we need a reason to make French Toast! This year, it also happens to be Thanksgiving. We all know what that means – craziness in the kitchen.
Irish Pub Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy
Not far from our home in the valley, just up into the rolling foothills is the town of Murphys. I’ve talked about this sleepy little hamlet before. There’s an Irish Pub on every corner. What would you expect from a mining town with the name Murphys? And in between those Irish Pubs are wine tasting rooms. Vineyards are the new gold of the Mother Lode.

Spicy Mexican Pinto Beans
Usually, I’m pushing for refried beans, be it my Easy Refried Pinto Beans or Frijoles Negros. Refried beans with just about any Mexican Favorite is awesome, right? Yet every now and again, I like to serve up a side of whole spicy beans.
Pollo Asado Loco is a Work in Progress
Have you ever eaten at an El Pollo Loco? Good stuff, right? Ever since my first bite of their chicken, I have been searching for the real recipe. Believe you me, I’ve tried plenty and none has hit the mark. Guess what? Neither did this one.
Lemon Garlic Skillet Chicken and Dining with a Friend
On my desk is a calendar of National Dates, Church Feast Days and other Holidays. Whenever I am stumped as to what to share, I look at the calendar in hopes of inspiration. Sometimes it works really well for the blog as well as meal planning. Other times I just stare at it and scratch my head.

Quick and Easy Ham Omelette Perfection
This is one of those been there, done that tales. With a fresh cup of coffee in hand, I stood in front of the open refrigerator. I was hungry, but I didn’t know what I was hungry for. Pulled open drawers, moved things around on shelves. Hum, something light and warm and easy. The light began to flicker.
Holiday Candy Gift Platters made with Love
Do you give out tins of home-baked cookies for Christmas? Me, too. I can remember one year in particular, when Kiddo and I spend an entire weekend hand painting sugar cookie cutouts. Wow, I just looked at the pictures of Kiddo’s cookie artwork – that was seven years ago! Where did the time go?

Lately I’ve been cooking up meals that are super easy and super quick. Too many other projects going to like making Christmas Decorations to be bothered with long hours in the kitchen. Still, my guys are spoiled and they expect flavor.

White Chocolate Cashew Drop Cookies
Today is both National Cashew Day and National Espresso Day. That got me to thinking, why not have cashew cookies to go with my double shot of espresso? Okay, so a nice Biscotti with Chocolate and Pistachios might be better, but hey this isn’t Biscotti Day or Pistachio Day. So let’s work with what we’ve got here.
Skillet Oven-Barbecued Pork Chops
Imagine my guys surprise when I served up oven barbecued pork chops, corn bread with honey butter and some Ranch Beans. They could not believe their eyes – as Kiddo put it – normal food.
Sweet Cornbread with Honey Butter
Having a genuine Okie from Oklahoma as a dad, we grew up on cornbread. During the winter, when times were lean, big pots of beans and pans of cornbread were the norm. To this day, I love cornbread. I love it even more slathered with sweet honey butter.
Lickity-Split Quick Marinated Mushrooms
Today is National Cranberry Relish Day. So what does Cranberry Relish have to do with Marinated Mushrooms? Absolutely nothing. Well, one thing – I don’t like Cranberry Relish, so I haven’t a recipe to share.
Panchetta Fettuccine Bolognese
Italian cooking has to be my all time favorite. So many flavors, textures and aromas. Italian pastas are a great way to stretch the food budget, too. Pasta is fillings. Whenever I make up a batch of Fettuccine anything, we are bound to have several meals out of it.
