Quick. Easy. Delicious. These are the words I like when doing a weekday dinner. This moist delicious chicken is all three. I make it all the time. It's one of my go-to "I don't really feel like cooking tonight" meals. Throw it in a dish, dump sauce over it and done. No chopping, no prep… Continue reading Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Meatball Sub Sandwiches
I've heard stories about the appetites of teenage boys for many years. All of my friends with older man-children talk about the heaps and piles of food they plow thru. I have to admit, I didn't really believe all the tales. Then, I had my 14-year-old nephew stay with me last week. I'm a new… Continue reading Meatball Sub Sandwiches
Marvelous Marinade
It's grilling season! Woo-hoo! This tasty marinade is quick and easy and will turn just about any cut of meat into a tender, flavorful mouth party. I know, it's supposed to be meatless Monday. And obviously that's a picture of steak. Be patient. I love to soak some big chunks of steak and chicken in… Continue reading Marvelous Marinade
Smothered Pork Chops
Smothered is such an excellent word. Say it slowly with me. Smothered. Mmmmmm. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love meals that have so much good stuff covering your plate, you can't even really tell what kind of meat is underneath. Careful not to overcook your pork (that is what's hiding under… Continue reading Smothered Pork Chops
Honeyed French Toast
I've been making french toast the same way for years. Eggs, a little milk, some sugar and vanilla. Beat, dunk, pan fry. Nothing to write home about, but good enough. Until I made THIS recipe I didn't know just how delicious french toast could taste. I guess I never realized what good french toast was… Continue reading Honeyed French Toast
Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
You could eat an old shoe with this marinade and it would be delicious. Which is perfect, since that's how some people think of mushrooms anyway. In my quest to have a meatless meal once a week, I stumbled upon these meaty mushrooms. They would be an awesome substitution for your burger, or sliced up… Continue reading Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Granny Smith Apple Salsa
This is not your granny's salsa. I know it isn't because it came from my friend Theresa. And she's nobody's granny. Actually, her sister's husband made it so I guess it's his salsa. Even better. I know for a FACT that HE isn't your granny. I had it at a bridal shower over the weekend… Continue reading Granny Smith Apple Salsa
Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter
Do you want to know why your steak at a restaurant is a taste explosion drenched in awesome and your BBQ beef is just passable? Come on. You know you're dying to find out. It's because chefs aren't afraid to douse your meat in butter and most of us home cooks think it's beyond decadence… Continue reading Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter
Spinach Artichoke Pasta Bake
Meatless Monday strikes again! This is one of my very favorite pasta dishes. Full of veggie flavor and rich creamy pasta. It comes together quickly and is good for parties, potlucks or just an evening at home with the family. Not the most photogenic dinner in the world but oh so tasty. Enjoy! Spinach Artichoke… Continue reading Spinach Artichoke Pasta Bake
Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
My first experience with fish tacos was in Maui. My husband and I went to a little dive in Kihei and drank Mai Tais and enjoyed numerous fish tacos. It was bliss. I was hooked (ha-ha-ha) at first bite (ok, I'll stop now). Since returning from our second honeymoon, I've tried recreating the delicious spice… Continue reading Fish Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
