From the Recipe Box: Edition 2!
In this recurring series, I dig into my decades-old recipe box (I guess I should say boxes!) and share three tried-and-true recipes, which after over a dozen years, STILL haven’t made it to the blog. A little different than my usual posts, this is more like an old-fashioned recipe swap. (Feel free to rifle through…

Cold Pan Seared Pork Chops
No more tough, dry pork chops! A clever technique guarantees tender, juicy meat every time, and you won’t believe how easy it is. When cooked properly, a thick, lean pork chop can be juicy and so full of flavor. All of us, however, have likely been served more than one pork chop that’s dry…
Beer Bread (whole wheat or white)
Tender and lightly chewy, this fuss-free, one-bowl bread has the yeasty flavor of a risen loaf – and takes just 5 minutes to prep. Every summer growing up, I went to camp in Maine. I made wonderful friends there, and several of those friendships are still going strong. One winter, I got to visit…

Crispy Potato Peels
Instead of tossing the peels when preparing potatoes for mashing, save them. They make a fun snack that’s crisp and flavorful–and nothing goes to waste!

Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts
If you’re not careful, these magical bites will disappear from the baking sheet before they make it to the table! Who knew we had to guard our vegetables? I remember the first time my older son ate a Brussels sprout. A toddler at the time, he popped one into his mouth, and the edges…
