It’s OK to Serve a No Bake Dessert. Really.
All moms struggle with perfection and trying to cram it all in. I’m learning how to LET IT GO…
risotto, beer, broth and bok choy
Because we still have SB beers around, my broth needs a purpose, and the bok choy needed to be used and I was craving risotto. Yes I know Bud Light probably isn’t the best option. Next time we’ll try Stella… I can make risotto with my eyes closed I’ve made it so many different ways…
turkey meatloaf with kickin’ sauce
My inspiration. Rain again. Wanting to make meatloaf since I realized last time around was two years ago. Sour dough bread around. Kickin’ sauce still available… Why not turkey loaf with kickin’ sauce? Of note, I’m not a fan of ketchup so using my own sauce instead is the plan. And since your own sauce…
not your mamas chili 2
I’ve got chili down and it is good… last time I made it (not your mamas chili) I used Not Your Father’s Rootbeer. So this time I opted to use no alcohol (shocking) and see if I could get good flavor anyway. I used ground turkey AND some of the leftover chicken from my broth…
bone stock does your body good
I’d been hearing the raves of the benefits of bone broth lately (google it there’s a lot out there on the topic!) and since my NY16 focus is to do my best to eat more healthy and fresh, I thought this was a good way to get that commitment into reality. Not hard at all-…

Turning up the classic a notch I wanted to spice things up, add some meat and play with the flavor. The result was the perfect blend for a comfort filling dish. Products from TJoes…
thanksgiving roll back- the bird, glaze and gravy – from scratch
Getting Bird Ready I’ve been waiting to post this one for so long! And by far it’s one of those moments in the kitchen I will never forget. One because my mom was in town to spend some quality time with me. Being the oldest of five kids alone time with mom is always special, and…
what to do to not waste and enjoy your veggies- hot and sour crockpot soup
When I thought about this post it was inspired by a few things. First, I confess, I have a major issue of buying too much food. Think it’s the history of being in a family of 7 (5 kids)… I don’t know how to think to buy for less than a family of 4, so…
Holy fish! Caribbean cayenne mahi and lemon almond kale
A game play delay resulted in a dinner unexpected a few days later… Planning to cook on a Friday when last minute plan changes came up, resulted in prepping the fish and then letting it sit for a few days. Mahi was prepared with olive oil and topped with a blend of “magical” Caribbean spice…
