Something about the month of March makes me crave cooked cabbage. Corned beef and cabbage is a wonderful meal, but have you seen the cost of a corned beef brisket lately? A bit pricey, so I decided to go a different route. All the recipes I found on the internet had a tomato sauce, not …

Panko Crusted Deviled Turkey Breast
One of my favorite things to do is to cook for guys. It is fun to prepare something hearty and flavorful, and watch it disappear with second helpings. Recently, I had one of my husband's friends over for dinner while his wife was out of town visiting her family. DH and best car buddy had …

A Christmas Lunch Tablescape and Cookie Exchange
Holidays are so much fun, and a great excuse to ask a few friends over for a little holiday lunch and cookie exchange. Keeping these small and simple are my preference, and I only have to make 4 dozen cookies. The table is set in the informal area on the game table. I like a …

Rustic Egg Bread
I love the aroma of baking bread and there is nothing like fresh bread without preservatives. I used to have a bread machine, but when we moved to the NC mountains, the altitude didn't allow it to work well. Rising times take a little longer here. Some years ago I found a recipe for a …
Leftover Turkey – A Cornucopia of Ideas
So, how many of us will have turkey left over? Quite a few I would guess, so I thought it was time to share some of my leftover ideas. One thing I have done in the past was freeze cooked, leftover turkey meat in quart size zipper bags so I don't get too tired of …
