I watch NFL football in style. So today, I made tuna poke. I am fortunate that my local Costco carries very good grade ahi tuna, and a small package caught my eye this weekend.

It occurred to me that I have not posted a recipe lately.

I made this Roasted Lemon Chicken the  summer of 2011. This weekend I craved the same chicken, but with vegetables available in our local Boise stores. I used acorn squash, parsnips, and brown mushrooms. I actually tweaked my original recipe and went crazy with the lemon zest and sage. What the heck, they are my... Continue Reading →
I found myself attending the usual amount of holiday parties this season, but this year the need for taking a dish to add to the event was in order. My favorite ingredients play a role in this dish: orzo pasta, spinach, Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomatoes. I looked online for a similar salad that... Continue Reading →
I gave this a lot of thought this morning. What do I do with leftovers, and how can I make a super simple frittata? Bake it, is that possible? Why not try! Ingredients:  8 medium eggs 1/3 of package of light cream cheese -  I don't keep milk in my fridge, but I sure do... Continue Reading →
I don't know why I just cannot seem to follow a recipe these days! I combined two different recipes, added or took out a few ingredients, and the result is below for you to try. This is a dish I made last night for an Idaho Smart Growth house party at Rachel & Tim's. It... Continue Reading →
