I had a hankering for gnocchi with a deep flavored sauce and spinach. Then I thought, wait, I can add a few other ingredients for a skillet lasagna, right? By trial and error, I found the perfect size cast iron skillet for my gnocchi lasagna. 10” was a tad small, 13.5” was a bit too... Continue Reading →
Some mornings, especially the weekends, I make a breakfast dish so that I have leftovers for the week. That way I don’t necessarily have to think about what to eat to start my day out right. I used to be of the mindset of skipping breakfast, but to be honest, protein is a good way... Continue Reading →

Since I love hash browns and green onions, I went to work and grabbed my box cheese grater.... Continue Reading →
Okay, truth be told, I love tzatziki dip and I was introduced to raita sauce a few weeks ago. One more confession: the local Whole Foods has elevated my taste because their version of tzatziki is spicy, a trait I willingly confess to. I just love spicy and savory rather than sweet and whatever. And... Continue Reading →
My post op recovery time was and still is literally a breeze thanks to meal prepping prior to my heart surgery. I love my slow cooker, love the food aromas when I get home from the end of the day. And, I love making up recipes! I do not have heart disease; my condition is... Continue Reading →
