So, many years ago, while in college, I used to work at the Cheesecake Factory. *insert hundreds of people drooling here* Anyhoo….My favorite sandwich there was the Navajo. It was wonderful, on warm fry bread, a grilled chicken breast with tomato and avocado and lettuce and mayo. It was the bread that made that sandwich [...]

I happened across this recipe on a website that I’m really starting to enjoy. It also just HAPPENS to be a gluten free recipe, which I love, considering that a very good friend of mine has Celiac’s.  I don’t go out of my way to cook gluten-free, but I consider it a bonus when a [...]

Unfortunately, in this past week’s Menu Plan Monday, I neglected to include SUNDAY.  Nice. This is it! I got this recipe in a free magazine issued by Hannaford’s called “Fresh.” You can get it here on their website. 3 Tbs Olive oil 3 lb Boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut into 3/4 inch cubes 1 [...]

This is another repeat recipe for our table, but not for the Kitchen. It’s so much more than the sum of it’s parts, I can’t even tell you. If you have children, this is a must try. They will love the chicken! 4 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup buttermilk (I use [...]

This is a repeat recipe for us, even though it’s not on the site (which is why I didn’t label it as a repeat recipe QotD post). It’s fabulous. Usually, I don’t care for most Rachael Ray recipes but this one was amazing. It’s a go-to brunch recipe for me if I’m heading to a [...]

I am not really doing anything special to this. I’m essentially following the guide with the ham- it’s a spiral sliced ham and comes with the packet of glaze. I actually wouldn’t want to do too much with it since I am using leftovers later this week in a very savory dish, anyway!!!

Sometime, months ago, I was watching either the Travel Channel or the Food Network (I know, TOTALLY UNBELIEVEABLE, RIGHT?) and they were doing a Kentucky Derby thing. They showed Hot Browns and I about died right there. I immediately Googled them and put them on the “to eat” list. And finally, the day has come. [...]

I’ve always loved club sandwiches, since I worked my way through college at a 24 hour diner. (I did the overnight shift mostly, ugh). There is just something so satisfying about toast and turkey and well done bacon. I’ve never been really into mayo, so I substitute mayo with honey mustard these days. I change [...]

I found this recipe on a website that I discovered through my Menu Plan Monday site. It’s called Meal Planning 101 and I have been really impressed with the selection and variety of recipes there. Many of the menu plans I find quite boring (and I go through all 200+ of them every week for [...]

I have very rarely met a “chicken+fruit” recipe that didn’t “=good.” So I was intrigued by this one. Very simple, but I don’t use apricots often in the Kitchen. Not that we don’t like them, it’s just much easier to get sidetracked to other ones (apples, for example). 1 1/4 cups dried orzo  (8 oz.) [...]
