You gotta love a man who is secure enough to give you a wicked sharp knife as a gift along with a book on how to use it. I have long known by watching the Food Network and lots of PBS cooking shows that I don’t chop an onion ‘properly’, and maybe I never will. …

Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies
Recently I had a pot luck lunch to attend, and I wanted to make something special. I learned how to make chocolate covered Oreo cookies last year through some trial and error. I think I have it down now, and can share it with you. So here is how to make Chocolate Covered Oreo cookies! …
Pan Roasted Chicken with Asparagus Dinner
Fast and easy recipes for a weeknight dinner for one or two are on my mind lately. I shared the Fish with Spinach Dinner recently, and it got me thinking about using chicken. Then, on Pinterest, I saw a pin for pan roasted asparagus. Well, I knew that, but haven't done it in a long …
A Perfect Picnic
We have picnics quite often here in the lovely mountains where we live. We go to lots of shows and festivals through the summer and autumn, sometimes to show our car, and sometimes just to drive someplace pretty, or hike to a waterfall. We mostly enjoy just getting outside, seeing beautiful places and enjoying the …
Leftover Pork Roast Pot Stickers
I pulled out the last of the pork roast to make a new leftover pork roast dish that won't taste like a leftover. This Asian flavored dish can be a main entree, or used as an appetizer for a larger group. Here's what you need. One cup of shredded pork, mixed with green onions and …
Banana Coffee Cake

Next dish for the leftover pork, a stovetop noodle dish, simple to make and quick! This recipe will make enough for two, with just a bit leftover to take for lunch one day. All you need is the leftover pork, pasta, a can of mushroom soup and a few more staple ingredients and you have …
Leftover Pork Roast Nachos
Now that there is a bunch of pork roast leftover in the frig, and some in the freezer, it is time to start using it in dishes that have a different flavor than the simple original roast. Remember, the spices and onion used to cook it originally will go many different ways for the leftovers. …
Pork Roast and more
My husband went with me to the grocery store last week, and he was shocked at how much prices have gone up. It is getting ridiculous! But it got me thinking about how large the lower priced cuts of meat can be. Those big pork roasts called Boston butt roasts are flavorful, but way too …
