So, I’ve made “black and bleu” burgers before.  I’m still working on getting it juuuuuuuuust right.  This time, it’s only a slight difference. I roasted some garlic over Thanksgiving and have been using it as a sandwich spread. I’ll be mixing that in to my sirloin this time, with some minced onion and butter. We’ll [...]

I know! A double QotD!!! Shocking!!!  But it’s the season of giving, and I’m feeling generous.
(Plus I have been planning ahead in anticipation of my upcoming vacation!!!)
Yesterday, I waxed poetically about my love for sandwiches using Thanksgiving leftovers. With regards to leftovers…I generally eat all my leftovers with sandwiches. But what I’d love [...]

So… in light of the recent holiday, I want to talk sandwich.
All year long, I *thoroughly* enjoy a “Thanksgiving” sandwich.  My idea is turkey, cranberry, stuffing (and that stuffing and the turkey better be at least warm), on a crusty, peasant-y bread or roll.  I will love you forever if you actually grill it like [...]

Today’s meal is a repeat that we enjoyed WAY more than we thought we would based on the ingredients. What’s your favorite type of pie? When I was pregnant with my children, I loved meatball. Typically, I get cheese or pepperoni. Never do I touch Hawaiian.
I’ll be curious to see what others [...]

Today’s recipe is a repeat and *might* just be suitNtie’s favorite one that I’ve found over the past 11 (yes, 11!) months of menu planning. Creamy peanut butter is just SO good no matter how you use it.
Many of us grew up with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as staples in our diets. [...]

Apples are very much in season here in New England. I have a go to Apple Pie recipe, I love this recipe for apples with chicken…but I’d love to have more diverse recipes using this very versatile fruit.  Quesadillas, beef dishes, seafood or pork…bring it on!
Please share your favorites!

Today’s meal is a repeat. Sloppy Joes are a great meal- usually quite popular with even very young children.  What meals were your childhood favorites? Or your own children’s?

Today’s dinner is a repeat. Actually, it’s the same meal, just that the recipe made so much, I froze a good half of what I made for another day.
Today’s meal is reminiscent of roast chicken and stuffing. A recent movie, Julie and Julia, is bringing a lot of Julia Child’s recipes back into [...]

When I first saw the recipe for these quesadillas, I thought it had potential but I definitely had my doubts. I was *very* pleasantly surprised.
The first time I made it, I used store bought pesto. Today, I’m making my own. Since it’s the end of summer and all our wonderful fresh herbs [...]

Today’s recipe is a great one from a fantastic blog that I affectionately call “the Crockpot Lady.” I’ve made it several times before because it is just so good and stays so moist and I LOVE that you can throw frozen chicken in it instead of remembering to defrost it.
I adore my crockpots. Yes, I [...]
