This recipe was what I would call a good try but not quite right. The recipe was probably doomed from the beginning. The heavy cream that was destined to be used here was bad and so it was replaced with skim milk (the only milk we had in the house). Now, normally I would say [...]

Good Eats Meatloaf
I enjoy Alton Brown’s TV show Good Eats, but the recipes intimidate me, even when they shouldn’t. Maybe it’s because Alton is so smart and precise? I don’t know. At any rate, I’ve been doing enough successful cooking lately that I had the confidence to attempt Good Eats Meatloaf.
My confidence has not been shattered (yet). [...]
Tater Tot Hotdish
This is the epitome of an old fashioned meal at home: a hot dish. The ingredients are simple and there were plenty of leftovers for the week. This meal took about an hour to make and running the oven was perfect for heating up the house now that it is getting cooler.
Just for the record, [...]
Ground Beef Barbecue
We wanted to try something a little different than the typical can of barbecue mixture and pound of ground beef for our barbecue sandwiches. I found this recipe in one of the many recipe files that I keep on my computer. The recipe calls for using a slow cooker and letting the meat cook for several hours but we [...]
Shrimp Fettucini Alfredo
This recipe comes from my mother-in-law. We had it once with them and I have been craving it ever since. The recipe is so much easier than I thought it would be. It only took about 30 minutes to make the entire meal. Perfect for a week night meal and best of all there are [...]
Baked Ziti
On the list of things Mark Bittman has taught me to make, you can now add Baked Ziti.
Like the recipe states, this is basically a short-cut lasagna with less hassle. The most involved part of the recipe is getting all the ingredients ready to go. I made this on a weeknight and would do so [...]
Parmesan Chicken Breasts
I always used to feel like Sunday night meals should involve warming the whole house up with the oven or running the slow cooker all day. Probably not such a great idea in the summer but now that the fall weather has taken hold, it definitely felt like we needed to get the oven running.
In truth the oven [...]
Spinach Quiche
“I’m strong to the finich / ‘Cause I eats me spinach”
This was my second attempt at this Spinach Quiche. I think my first attempt was better, but this was no failure.
I followed the recipe exactly, except for the crust. The recipe calls for Martha’s pâte brisée, but I’m just not ready for that. Maybe next [...]
Sour Cream and Paprika Chicken
What could be a better combination than chicken and a rich sour cream sauce. This recipe is the basis for the sour cream and paprika chicken recipe that I made here. As always, anything that has onion in it will certainly taste better with a bit of garlic.
The recipe with my modifications is below:
4 skinless, [...]
