Berry Pudding Volcanoes for Recipe Friday

Last weekend we had company over and so I decided to make something special for dinner, plus dessert. I made my Turkey Meatballs, modified slightly with added Italian sausage and adjustments to the bread crumbs, cheese, and tomato. I served it with ravioli, Sesame Garlic...

Cauliflower Garlic Rice Skillet

I’ve been trying to decide all week what to post for Recipe Friday, but we really haven’t had anything new all week. Monday we had Fajita Tacos, Tuesday we had Goulash (albeit with rotini noodles instead of macaroni, which my husband says makes it not Goulash,...

Pan-Fried Oatmeal for Recipe Friday

I am not a huge fan of breakfast. Except for Toad in the Holes, I don’t care much for eggs. I don’t like maple syrup, so pancakes aren’t my favorite either. Plus I’m usually just not that hungry in the morning. But I do love...

Chili Mac Dogs for Recipe Friday

Okay, so this is kind of a silly recipe (actually two recipes), but it is surprisingly tasty, and has a story to go with it. Several years ago, I suggested to my son that we have Chili Mac and he thought the idea sounded gross. But...

Meatloaf for Recipe Friday

I have always loved meatloaf, and my mom used to make the best meatloaf ever. Unfortunately, I never got her meatloaf recipe before she died. I’ve tried a number of recipes that have been okay, but not great. Then I’ve winged it a few times...

Two for the Price of One Potatoes for Recipe Friday

I was planning to post my meatloaf recipe, and even took pictures, but it’s been a crazy week and I just didn’t get it done. So I decided to post the side dish of Garlic Mashed Potatoes first, then I’ll post Meatloaf next week. I...

Barbeque Corned Beef for Recipe Friday

Last weekend during my weekly shopping trip, I was trying to think of something new to make. I noticed that corned beef brisket was on sale so I bought a 3 pounder. I also bought carrots and always have potatoes and was planning to make...

Swiss Coleslaw for Recipe Friday

Portland, Oregon has already exceeded the average rainfall for the month of March, and we are only halfway through the month. The forecast calls for more rain for at least the next ten days. It’s getting slightly warmer than it was in February, but I’m...

Madeleines with Lemon Curd for Recipe Friday

Last Saturday afternoon, right before his friend came over to hang out, my son said, “I need to make Epicurean Creamed Peas this weekend.” “What for?” I asked. “For French class,” he replied, “but I need three people to evaluate it. I guess I’ll have...

Pan-fried Pork Chops for Recipe Friday

When I was a kid one of my favorite meals that my mom made was pork chops. She always made thin cut pork chops and fried them to what I affectionately call “shoe leather.” I suppose my mom cooked them this way because she and...
