My all time favorite quick dinner are Sloppy Joe’s, and as a result I always keep a can of Sloppy Joe sauce in the pantry. However to my horror, as I went to pull a can out one night, I realized I had been so busy with work that I didn’t even know I had…

Comfort Food is Turkey Bean Hotdish
Growing up my mom used to make the best comfort food. Now for me as an adult comfort food is turkey bean hotdish. This is a one pot meal if you choose, quick to put together and great to make in bulk for freezing for another meal. Normally this is made with ground turkey, but…
Oso Buco
This is a Suzanne Somers recipe. While I do not follow her food combining plan, I do very much enjoy cooking recipes from her cook books. They are usually easy and packed with amazing flavors. This recipe for oso buco is a fix-it and forget-it kind of recipe. Good for a night when you do…

Last time we visited with her she gave us this delightful cookbook from her local Scandinavian woman’s group. I thought it would be fun to try out a few recipes and…
Shepherd’s Pie

My best friend and college roommate was from London and I learned an appreciation for British foods while we were living together. When we were in college an authentic (by her London standards) British pub…
Shepherd’s Pie
The kiddo went to science camp in Yosemite for a week earlier this month. I asked what she wanted for dinner the two nights before she left. Her answer Shepherd’s Pie, and it was okay if she had it both nights! This is a girl after my own heart. I love nothing more than a…
