Food the way it is meant to be.
I made Mark Bittman’s “Quickest Chicken Stock” over the weekend, which left me with 12 cups of chicken stock and 4 pounds of cooked chicken. I used some of the stock in split pea soup and froze the rest for later. The chicken got turned into chicken salad!
I’m personally not a fan of chicken salad, but [...]
This recipe was another replacement for a staple for me growing up: the pre-packaged beef stroganoff.
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon beef bouillon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 cup water
1 cup sour cream
2 cups noodles or rice, cooked
3 tablespoons unbleached flour
Directions:
Cook and stir the meat, onion, and garlic in a large skillet until the meat [...]
I attempted a split pea soup nearly a year ago with awful results. There wasn’t enough liquid and I didn’t have an immersion blender. It was disastrous, but my friends choked it down.
Now, I have a new recipe, an immersion blender, and pretty green soup! Friends, you can come back now…

My grandmother can’t remember where she found this recipe, but it was definitely on a box for something from a long time ago. At least while I was a child, she always made this as a frosting for angel food cake for my mother’s birthday. I think I probably enjoyed it more than my mom did, which [...]
This spinach and artichoke recipe is my “go to” recipe when I need to bring something to a party or a dinner. It is simple to make and only takes about 30 minutes to finish. Plus it is filled with all kinds of splurge things like butter, cream cheese and sour cream. This particular batch [...]
I didn’t actually make these biscuits, but my husband did! (I did take the picture…) He’s a man of few words, but did say that these were fun and easy to make. I can tell you that they tasted amazing. Much better than store-bought and just as good as your favorite breakfast place. What else [...]
The finder’s fee for this recipe actually goes to Ben, but it’s become a favorite in our house, too. Orzo gets sauteed in butter, simmered in chicken broth, then combined with Parmesan cheese and basil. It’s a really simple and satisfying side dish.

This was one of those use up some stuff in the cupboard recipes. The chicken needed to be used up and the vegetables had a layer of ice an inch thick on them. Still, this made for a simple and fast casserole with plenty of leftovers and fufilled the task of emptying out some of [...]
I got the bug to make pudding from scratch this week after the husband bought some Jell-O pudding cups for his lunch. My favorite pudding is butterscotch, but I settled on vanilla because it seemed easier. (When trying new recipes, sometimes I have to play confidence games with myself.)
This was a messy experience, but overall [...]
This is another side dish (like the mac and cheese) that is really easy to make and for whatever reason is always what I am hungry for when eating steak. This was a New Year’s Eve side dish to go with the beef tenderloin. We always have the ingredients for this handy which is what [...]
