Tortilla Cazuela

Nice and light.  Not a lot of heat, and the chicken is very tender.  To complete this meal, be sure to serve a side of salad greens with Country Dressing.

Lasagna-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Love this recipe from thekitchn. I love pasta. I love lasagna. But… sometimes I could do without the carb content in the noodles. Spaghetti squash  provides the bowl AND the “spaghetti”! These are generous in size, so for the...

Chicken Marsala

An elegantly comforting dish. Creamy marsala and mushroom sauce atop tender juicy chicken breasts. Great for guests or better yet a week night dinner for the entire family.

Warm-Apple Salad

When apples are in season, use them in everything you serve. The options are endless. A simple salad upgraded with warmed apples accompanies all fall meals, thanks to Martha Stewart.

Open-Face Turkey Burgers w/Gruyere, Mushrooms, & Arugula Salad

A little something from each of the food groups is represented in this pretty little package.  Serve fresh cut-up heirloom tomatoes along side, sprinkled with fresh ground black pepper.

Spicy Beef and Sausage Tacos

Tacos are a bit more special with both beef and sausage. But it’s not complete without all the fixins’ included. Muy Bueno!

Coconut Rice

Perfect accompaniment to South Pacific dishes… Thai and Polynesian inspired foods especially.

Steakhouse Kabobs

Have a hankering for beef? Give this beef, mushroom and onion kabob a go. I certainly had a craving and this version rid me of it with complete satisfaction! Adapted from seriouseats.com… the only thing truly altered is that most of us with...

Sloppy-Sriracha Burger

Another ultimate favorite of mine.  The combo of the spicy Sriracha with cool, creamy blue cheese dressing, along with the salty bacon, swiss cheese and caramelized onions provide an even bigger flavor to this already zesty-infused burger.  Do you...

Tomato & Mozzarella Tartlets

Just like a warm caprese salad on top of delicate puff pastry.  Serve as appetizer or side.
