My rhubarb produced enough harvestable stalks for me to put some in the freezer, and to make some jam. I love strawberry and rhubarb together and it tastes like summer to me and reminds me of my grandmother. Here’s how I made it: Ingredients: 4 cups of crushed strawberries 2 cups of rhubarb cut intoContinue reading “Now is the PERFECT time to make Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam”

Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Honey and Balsamic Glaze
One of our favorite restaurants in Chattanooga, TN (The Feed Table and Tavern) has some delicious crispy brussels sprouts, so I went about to try to replicate them. First I pared the brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Then I brought salted water to a boil and blanched them for 5 minutes and drainedContinue reading “Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Honey and Balsamic Glaze”
Meal Prep–Vegetarian Burrito Bowls
This is going to be a busy week because I am going out of town for a couple of days and the weather is nice, which always puts us into turbo project mode. So, I decided that I would do some meal prep to make lunches and dinners super easy and convenient (and healthy). MyContinue reading “Meal Prep–Vegetarian Burrito Bowls”
Last minute gift from the kitchen….
I am NOT a fan of fussy recipes. It’s not that I can’t do it, I just don’t want to. I have been making this particular recipe since I was in high school, so a LONG time. It’s great because you literally just cook it until it is brown–no thermometer, no testing in a glassContinue reading “Last minute gift from the kitchen….”
A Holiday Treat that starts with a mix
First, I mixed up two packages of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix using the recipe for rolled cookies–two packages of mix, 2 sticks of softened butter, 2 eggs, and 6 tablespoons of flour. I rolled the dough into about tablespoon sized balls and placed them into well greased mini muffin pans. I flattened them intoContinue reading “A Holiday Treat that starts with a mix”

A PERFECT Sweet Potato Dish
This is one of my husband’s favorite dishes, especially for Thanksgiving, or anytime we have ham or pork chops. It’s pretty easy to make–and the secret is to roast the sweet potatoes and the apples separately so that the apples don’t steam the potatoes. Unfortunately for you, I didn’t write down exact quantities this morningContinue reading “A PERFECT Sweet Potato Dish”
Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
I have been making cinnamon rolls for years. The boys used to take them for boy scout camping trips and we brought them to all the boys’ regattas. Chris and I made hundreds of pans of them to raise money for his trip to Europe when he was in 7th grade. In fact, they wereContinue reading “Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls”
Chicken Pot Pie with Herbed Biscuit Crust
My husband has been craving chicken pot pie, probably because I haven’t made it in a while. This recipe makes a big batch because we sent leftovers home with my husband’s Dad. Season 6 bone in/skin on chicken breasts liberally with garlic salt on and under the skin. Roast at 350 degrees until the skinContinue reading “Chicken Pot Pie with Herbed Biscuit Crust”
Chicken Soup (et al) Base
I roasted 4 chickens the other night for a chicken pot pie (recipe post to come), which was more chicken than I needed for just the pot pie, because I wanted to can some broth with chicken in it for recipes. First step was to pull all the meat off of the bones. Then IContinue reading “Chicken Soup (et al) Base”
