Hearty and simple to make with few ingredients, you can’t go wrong with a frittata. Bacon, Potato & Cheddar Frittata will feed a small crowd or eat on it for leftovers. I love this served simply with a garden salad. This Italian-inspired dish is similar to a quiche minus the pastry, less custardy & more […]
Creamy Lemon Asiago Chicken Meatballs, big on flavor but easy on time making them a perfect midweek meal served with some pasta & a salad or steamed broccoli. Asiago cheese, from cow’s milk, was first produced in Italy. It has a bold, nutty flavor similar to a good parmesan but with bigger flavors. The lemon […]
Thai Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry is such a simple recipe to make & one that is so flavorful. The key ingredient in this stir-fry has to be the Thai basil. Use the basil leaves much like you would spinach: either leave them whole or a quick tear. I tend to leave them whole. Thai basil, a […]

This slow cooked beef can be made ahead for a cozy weeknight meal or cooked on the weekend for a night in with family or friends.

One Pan Lemon Shrimp & Zucchini Orzo, creamy in texture as the orzo cooks & releases its starch. Both lemon zest & juice give this one pan marvel brightness. Zucchini is plentiful & its mellow flavor is a perfect vegetable for pairing with shrimp. For me, orzo is the lazy person’s risotto – nothing wrong […]
Spicy Sticky Salmon Bowl is nutritious, filling, beautiful to look at & worth the bit of effort to make. Salmon cubes are tossed in a Korean ginger sauce & cooked until they’re sticky. The black rice, also called forbidden rice, takes a bit of forward planning but well worth it as it looks beautiful & […]

Chickpeas (garbanzo beans) tossed in hot sauce, honey & a smoky hint of barbecue sauce, spooned into lettuce leaves, topped with shredded carrot, thinly sliced celery & drizzled with blue cheese sauce. I prefer to make my own blue cheese […]
You’ll be making your own sun-dried tomato pesto for this simple and full-flavored Creamy Pesto Chicken. If this sounds like it’s too much trouble, then use store-bought but, you’ll probably only need about 1/2 cup at most as store-bought pesto contains more salt so keep that in mind. Now I know the recipe has 3 […]
