I love soups that can be considered a meal. They are warm and completely satisfying while only dirtying one pot. Plus it gives me an excuse to eat with a spoon and I love to spoon! To me, there is nothing better than homemade soup. In canned soup, the flavors seem to mush into each …

Tangelo-The Original Hybrid
Recently, my in-laws sent us a ten-pound box of tangelos from Florida. I thought it was wonderful to have some wonderful, fresh Florida fruit to brighten our winter. But then I was honest with myself because I didn’t know where a tangelo fit in the citrus family. Why hadn’t I heard about this “black sheep” …
Okra’s Gook Club
I have found as an ex-picky eater that the more I learn about a food, the better odds I will have to prepare it perfectly. But what do you do with a food that has a bad reputation like Okra. It doesn’t matter what I read about okra, someone will mention the “slime”. I’m …
Shepherd’s Pie
Do you ever see a dish on the television that looks so good you just have to eat it? You may know nothing about what is on the plate but the yummy noises coming from the chef making it has convinced you that you want that meal. I am one of the thousands of people …
Spicy Hunan Chicken
The more I write about food, the more I realize that I am polyamorous. I love so many different types of foods from so many different regions of the world. One of my many loves is Chinese cuisine. I think most of people just lump it all together but did you know there are technically …

Stuffed Chicken Breast-It is what it is
In honor of my last blog, I thought I should share a really good chicken breast recipe. I love stuffed chicken breasts because they really are simple to make but still have a rich taste. The other thing I like about a stuffed chicken breast is it is exactly what the name implies, a stuffed …
Race to Valentine’s Day Dinner
For most people, preparing for Valentine’s Day dinner is a “sprint”. On Valentine’s Day, you go to a nice restaurant, pick your meal off of a menu, and call it a night. For me, it is a “marathon”. I start thinking about Valentine’s Dinner in the middle of January and “train” a little until the …
Love at First Bite
It only seems right that I would fall in love with a new recipe the weekend before Valentine’s Day. I received my weekly “erecipe” from Cuisine at Home (more on this publication in future blogs) on Thursday and my mouth started watering. It was for “Broiled Citrus Seafood in Bouillabaisse Broth.” It had everything I …
Still learning…
Being that this whole blog thing is still new to me, I feel that I am still trying to figure things out to make it perfect. With that said, I should have posted the recipe for the artichoke/spinach dip. I came up with this recipe last year during the Superbowl when my husband, Earl, asked …
