Potato Leek Soup
I love leeks. They have a very rich but mild onion flavor. I worked on this recipe yesterday and was pleased with the result so I thought I'd share. If you decide to try it, I hope you'll enjoy! Prepare the leeks first. What I didn't show in this picture is something...
Pasta In Pictures: {with color commentary}
Quoting my granddaughter, "I hope you wike it!" The more freshly minced garlic the better I'd say! A little red pepper... Red bell peppers, your favorite noodles cooked in salted water. {My favorite noodle is Tinkyada Joy made from brown rice.} Fresh basil!...
New Slow Cooker Steak
This turned out to be delicious! And is there anything easier than putting something in the slow cooker in the morning and adding fresh salad and vegetables and rice to it later? Voila! Dinner is done! Toss the steak in a bag with cornstarch or arrowroot powder. Grate...
Caprese Salad Tostada Twist
I'm kind of crazy about avocados and basil. How about you? I had cooked several extra tostada shells (corn tortillas fried on both sides in olive oil until they are crispy), and we had avocados that needed to be eaten quickly...so this was born! ~Mashed avocado spread...
Asiago Mushroom Burgers
("Ah-see-ah-go") Oh, these were good! And simple. Make hamburger into patties and season with salt and pepper. Saute fresh, sliced mushrooms in butter with 2-3 cloves of garlic for about a minute. Remove from the pan. Cook the patties on both sides until cooked...
Chili By Pictures
We had a lot of chili this holiday season, so I thought I'd pass on the recipe that seemed to go over well! Start with browning turkey or beef with garlic and onions. If you prefer a meatless chili, just lightly cook an onion and a few cloves of garlic. Add veggies...
Pan Seared Salmon
I love salmon, and this recipe makes it even more lovable because it is moist with a little crispiness in the outside texture and garlic in the flavor. I hope you like it! Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and rub onto 4 salmon filets along with a little olive oil, salt and...
Ham & Potatoes
It doesn't get easier than this! Thinly slice yams and potatoes. Stir together with cream, (sour cream would work too), salt, freshly ground pepper and butter. Put a ham steak in the bottom of a crock pot. Pour the potatoes on top and cook for 4-6 hours. The...
Lime Fish Taco
A friend shared this recipe with me a while ago and I just got around to trying it! And of course I tweaked it. The flavor is amazing! I hope you love the fresh lime and cilantro! For the slaw: 3 cups shredded green cabbage 1/2 cup diced red onion 1 cup sour cream 1...
Tara’s Quiche!
Oh my goodness, we had a treat this week! It has an almond crust, which you could certainly play around with and see what texture suits you. I think this would be good made with a gluten-free blend, with whole wheat or a combination of whole wheat and white flours....
