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 …

Banana Coffee Cake
I have been experimenting with recipes for coffee cake recently and wanted to do something with bananas. When I have bananas, I usually make banana bread, but this time I wanted it to be lighter and more cake-like, yet substantial enough for breakfast. My mother-in-law gave me a recipe long ago for a Sour Cream …
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 …
The Sharper Your Knife The Less You Cry
Foodie books are a real delight for me. I enjoy reading the stories behind the scenes, especially for places I will never go, like Le Cordon Bleu.

A Weeknight Fish Dinner
I really enjoy eating fish, it is easy to prepare and light. It is a go-to meal for weekdays because it is fast. Here is one of my favorite ways to cook it. This works well with just about any kind of fish. I like tilapia and swai the most, while my husband prefers cod …
Around the World in Salt
It was quite a revelation to me last year on a cooking forum that there were a lot more types of salt in the world than just regular table salt and sea salt. I was fortunate to have a generous benefactor send me a number of different ones to try. These are finishing salts, some …
Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup with Gouda
I adore tomato soup, and there is a restaurant in town that makes a super version. They call theirs Gouda Soup, and it is a tomato and roasted red pepper soup with Gouda cheese grated on top. I just had to figure out an acceptable recipe to make at home. Several tries, but I think …
