Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet

All the flavor of traditional cabbage rolls in one easy pot – or skillet!   As the days grow shorter and the nights become colder, this is a meal we eat often. Comfort food for all the right reasons. It’s an economical, one-pan meal that can be assembled quickly and left to simmer. Hearty yet…

Whole-Can-of-Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

Last fall, a friend mentioned that when she uses part of a can of pumpkin, the leftover portion always seems to go bad before she gets a chance to finish it.  To avoid this problem, feel free to click on the link to my Pumpkin Roundup, below.  But also consider giving the following recipe a…

Pat’s Seared Sesame Chicken

With a syrupy glaze created by three basic ingredients and loads of flavor, this speedy meal is ideal for the weekly meal rotation.     When dashing out to buy a bottle of wine, the logical expectation would be to return with something that may complement a special dinner. Leaving the state store with a…

Tuna in Rustic Tomato Sauce

Quick, wholesome, and brimming with flavor, this one-pan meal makes a perfect dinner for two, but the recipe doubles easily.   As summer dwindles and the days grow shorter, I find myself savoring the many varieties of local produce that will soon be gone until next summer. Sad as I am to say goodbye to…

No-Sugar Homemade Jam (choose your favorite flavor-even use frozen fruit-in this easy, small batch recipe)

This flexible, small batch recipe doesn’t use pectin as a thickener, so there’s no need for a copious amount of granulated sugar as is used in traditional jams. Instead it relies on heart healthy chia seeds and a small amount of maple syrup or honey.     Healthy jam that tastes great…really?  The perks of…

Carrot Cake with Almond Flour

Perfectly spiced with a tender crumb, this carrot cake is a family favorite for birthdays, Easter, and just because. Naturally sweetened and gluten-free too.   Among my stockpile of much-loved recipes, there are a few I “save.”  I wasn’t sure exactly what I was saving this special recipe for–maybe fall when carrots are officially seasonal or…

Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

Whether it is kids’ sports practices, crazy work schedules, meetings, or a class at the gym, weekdays can be especially full.  Everyone seems busy, it’s just the details that are different! I often find myself cooking extra on the weekends to guarantee a couple of quick meals throughout the week.  There are many nights when…

Seven-Day Pickles

Seven Day Pickles have been a family favorite around here for too many years to count. The tried-and-true recipe originally came from the grandmother of a dear friend and offers a taste of summer all year long!       Every summer, I look forward to making seven-day pickles.  Although the name implies a long,…

Bourbon & Coca Cola Steaks

Typically, we keep steak preparation simple in our house. A sprinkle of spice rub is often as fancy as it gets. This clever steak marinade, compliments of Michaela Martin Kenkel (who has a delightful blog called An Affair from the Heart), earned points for originality. Until seeing her recipe, I thought of bourbon and Coke as…

Old-Fashioned Horseradish Pickles

Make crisp, tangy pickles just like your grandmother used to make them with these step-by-step instructions for naturally fermented pickles. It’s a truly simple process and you can taste and adjust as you go.    What is the difference between pickling and fermentation? Pickling involves soaking food in an acidic liquid – usually vinegar-based –…

Grilled Apricot Shrimp with Harissa Aioli

These flavor-packed shrimp will impress all who try. They’re equally perfect as an entree or appetizer and can be enjoyed hot off the grill or at room temperature.       From week to week I toil—probably longer than I should-over which recipes to share on this page. The decision becomes more difficult when a…

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

First, I must apologize to the readers who have subscribed to receive recipe posts via email. Yesterday, I inadvertently sent a draft of this post.   Although I am sure to make an occasional ‘woops’ (my family would tease that I make them daily!), it is truly my goal not to send pointless emails. The…
