I honestly can’t tell you how many times a year he asks for it. I lose count. I want to be a good wife and give it to him but I just don’t like it very much. But as many of us know, you need to compromise in a relationship. So dutifully, I promised him …

Thai “Bolognese” with rice noodles
As much as I love to cook, I still have nights that it seems like a chore. I don’t think it is the actually process of making the food that wears me out, it is the fact that I’ll have to clean it up when it’s done. I’ve tried to leave clean up until the …
Provencal Chicken Soup
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 …

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 …
Grandma’s Manicotti-Part 2: The Recipe
I have received a bunch of requests for the recipe for the shells that I made in one of my earlier posts. I guess this was a bit of a blog cliffhanger but it I guarantee that it will have been worth the wait. Manicotti Shells Ingredients 6 eggs 1 cup milk 1 1/2 cups …
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 …
The Picky Eater Part 2…The Evolution
I discovered, as I got older, if I did the cooking, I could control the content of what was being placed in front of me at mealtimes. The added bonus was that my mom, who was a good cook, didn’t really like to cook. She did like to clean up. So our deal was whoever …
