We have been really busy with end of school stuff here. My oldest is home from college and my middle son just graduated high school and my youngest is moving up from middle to high, so I haven’t had much time to take pics and write recipes…. but hopefully back to it now. I haveContinueContinue reading “Lemon Chicken Wraps with Garlic Tahini Sauce”

Potato, Bacon and Gruyere Galette
Galettes are so much fun to make. They have crust similar to pie, but since they are free form it is a lot less effort. You still get the wonderful buttery, flaky crust, but in a more rustic form. I have a couple other galette recipes on here you can also try. Spinach and ArtichokeContinueContinue reading “Potato, Bacon and Gruyere Galette”
Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce
These Thai basil rolls with ground chicken were pretty quick to make, but they have a lot of flavor from the Thai basil, cilantro, ginger, garlic, jalapeno and the dipping sauce. They were tasty and we all enjoyed them. I used raw/cook at home tortillas for the wraps for these and honestly I think theyContinueContinue reading “Thai Chicken Basil Rolls with Hoisin Dipping Sauce”
Romaine Salad with Toasted Pepitas, Blue Cheese and Pickled Red Onion
My favorite kinds of salads are the ones that have lots of interesting flavor, texture and brightness. This salad was simple, but it still met all of those criteria. The romaine is fresh and crunchy, the blue cheese is pungent, the toasted pepitas add good crunch and flavor, and the pickled red onions and radishesContinueContinue reading “Romaine Salad with Toasted Pepitas, Blue Cheese and Pickled Red Onion”
Chicken in a Pot with Orzo
I used to watch Ina Garten on TV back in college, along with every other cooking show I could find. She was really accessible when I was learning to cook, because her recipes tend to be pretty simple and straight forward. This chicken in a pot with orzo is both of those things. I likedContinueContinue reading “Chicken in a Pot with Orzo”
Spanish Style Tortilla
I have been making this easy cheater Spanish style tortilla for years since I first saw the recipe on Serious Eats. I say cheater because it uses a little trick to save time and effort that I love. Instead of thinly slicing potatoes for the dish, it uses salt and vinegar potato chips! I knowContinueContinue reading “Spanish Style Tortilla”
Marinated Tofu Sushi Roll Bowls
This is totally my kind of a dinner and I could eat this all the time and be happy. Even though I called this a sushi bowl, there isn’t actually any raw fish. You could add some sashimi though and it would be amazing… I might do that actually next time 🙂 I love tofuContinueContinue reading “Marinated Tofu Sushi Roll Bowls”
Patty Melts
One of my kids likes to watch youTube food videos and give me new cooking ideas, and one those lately was these smashburger patty melts. These were definitely not health food, but they were so delicious! We often eat homemade hamburgers, and my husband grinds the beef for those from chuck, sirloin and short ribs.ContinueContinue reading “Patty Melts”
Lasagna Soup with Garlic, White Beans, and Whipped Ricotta
We went out with our neighbors to try a new winery that opened near us last night, so no cocktail today. Instead I’m sharing this recipe for lasagna soup with white beans, garlic, and whipped ricotta that I made for dinner this week. This soup has the flavors of a lasagna, but it is lighterContinueContinue reading “Lasagna Soup with Garlic, White Beans, and Whipped Ricotta”
Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì
I’ve seen variations on a tofu bánh mì online occasionally and my family loves both bánh mì and tofu. I was still a *tiny* bit skeptical about whether this sandwich would really feel like a banh mi without the meat. I am happy to say that we really loved this, and didn’t feel anything wasContinueContinue reading “Marinated Tofu Bánh Mì”
