Green Chile Chicken Chili Football is not really my thing. I don't really mind watching games, but I couldn't tell you the difference between a tight end and an end zone. I know those are both football references, and I could think of at least 3 tight end jokes, so at least that's something. As long as the chips & dip are within easy reach, though, I would happily sit on the couch for at least one... quarter. And yes, I just Googled that. Inning didn't sound right. But something I do love is getting together with friends and family and food. Football is as good an excuse as any for doing just that. Although maybe we have to Zoom watch Keep Reading
Ground Chicken Meatballs with peanut sauce (dinner or appetizer recipe)
Ground Chicken Meatballs with Sweet Peanut Dipping Sauce I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong decade. I prefer real paper books and check out movies from the library. I write all important dates on my spiral-bound calendar and send people cards in the mail. I read magazines and rip out DIY projects or travel destinations that look interesting. These are all neatly filed away in my handy accordion folder, of course. Eh, what's that... Pinterest? You'll have to speak up. Apparently I'm 50 years older than I appear. My favorite is ripping out recipes that sound good. I have them stacked on my desk and stashed in my recipe binder (for the love, I Keep Reading
Blackened Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
Blackened Salmon with Roasted Vegetables Sometimes frugality has its' concessions. My husband and I are big fans of wild salmon, but somehow paying $14.99 per pound (and up) for it doesn't really have a place in our food budget. Purchasing clearance fish has never been my thing, and I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the only wild salmon we would be consuming came in a can from Costco. New Seasons Market sent me a little sample of two affordable varieties of wild salmon to try: Pink and Keta. One serving of Pink salmon actually contains 107% of the daily recommended value of vitamin D, which I'm pretty sure we are all deficient Keep Reading
Healthy Coconut Chicken Soup recipe (Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free)
Coconut Chicken Soup My friend Rebecca has been raving about this Coconut Chicken Soup for years. I couldn't take it any longer. Friends don't let friends describe delicious food without inviting themselves to dinner, so naturally I suggested she make it for me. Last month, she did just that. I ate one bowl and decided she was definitely onto something. Then I ate a second bowl just to be sure. My husband was equally as thorough in his taste testing. Instead of dropping by for dinner each month, I decided it was time to learn how to make it myself. This healthy soup is creamy and flavorful, thanks to the base which combines chicken broth, Keep Reading
Grilled Beef Gyros
Grilled Beef Gyros Today I am posting about beef (specifically, grilled beef gyros). After all, it's what's for dinner. For you meat lovers out there, check out Lynn Curry's new cookbook, Pure Beef: An Essential Guide to Artisan Meat with Recipes for Every Cut. It is organized by cut, with techniques and recipes for each one. Brilliant! I just got my hands on a friend's copy, and it is an excellent resource. Back to beef! This grilled beef gyro recipe is perfect for summertime. Pita bread stuffed with flavorful beef and thinly sliced vegetables, then drizzled with cucumber sauce. Yum. Both the marinade and the sauce ingredients are whirred Keep Reading
Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad
Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad I have been making this Ina Garten recipe on a weekly basis. My husband is a big fan, and it receives rave reviews anytime it hits the road, potluck style. This Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad is a great end-of-summer recipe because it highlights vegetables that are coming out of the garden at the end of the summer: tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley, and basil. However, I'll often mix and match vegetables based on what I have on hand; zucchini, green beans, olives, artichoke hearts, or avocado all complement or substitute for the tomatoes and cucumbers. Or whatever you can find at the store. I've only made slight Keep Reading
Vegetarian frittata (seasonal vegetable recipe)
Vegetarian Frittata Recipe I had never made a frittata until I met my friend Elizabeth seven years ago. It seemed like every time I stopped by her house, she was pulling a skillet loaded with eggs and vegetables out of the oven. We'd stand around her kitchen talking, taking piping hot bites of whatever the special was that day, while our children ran wild around the house. She was onto something good. Frittatas are Italian-style omelets, a healthy, filling crustless quiche that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. I find myself going back to this kind of cooking quite a bit lately. Just good honest food, created from a combination Keep Reading
