Chili with Beans for Recipe Friday

More snow storms are on the way on the east coast, and it’s not all the warm here in the Pacific Northwest, either. Winter still has a way to go before spring arrives. So here’s my chili recipe to go with it to warm you...

Toad in the Holes for Recipe Friday

This recipe is what we had for breakfast on Christmas morning. We talked about having French Toast, but we all agreed we had eaten enough sweets lately and didn’t really want something sweet for breakfast; especially since there was pecan pie for dessert later. I...

Baked Chicken Strips for Recipe Friday

Usually when I make chicken strips I pan fry them. But that requires closely monitoring the frying process and if I am distracted by other things can lead to burned chicken strips. My family will still eat them slightly burned, but last night I didn’t...

Shepherd’s Pot Pie for Recipe Friday

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE leftovers! Just kidding. But they can be pretty good when I can disguise them so that you can’t tell you had them the night before. That is how this recipe came about. The first time I made...

Stained Glass Cookies for Recipe Friday

Four or five years ago, I was baking cookies for Christmas and my son (who was 10 or 11 at the time) was helping. Although they are not a traditional Christmas cookie, I was making some peanut butter cookies because both my son and my...

Pecan Pie for Recipe Friday

I took the day before Thanksgiving off this year to hang out with my son and do some baking. I knew I wanted to make coconut macaroon cookies, but I also wanted to make a pie for Thanksgiving. After all, Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without...

Creamed Peas & Carrots for Recipe Friday

This is the vegetable we had with Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It is a modification of a recipe my son made last year for a French class project. It’s really easy, though I’m not sure how healthy it is with all the cream and butter! Oh...

Apple Stuffing for Recipe Friday

Last week I bought a package of stuffing from my local Safeway bakery. The other night I decided to make it to go with the Cornish game hens my son was making. The recipe on the package called for adding onions and celery, but I...

Polenta with Marinara for Recipe Friday

This is a new recipe that I just came up with the other night. I had purchased a roll of pre-made polenta at the store. I know, if you’re a purist you would cook your own polenta, but life’s too short and this stuff is...

Beef Stew for Recipe Friday

Last week I posted a new recipe for Moroccan Beef Stew. Today it’s back to one of my old standards – regular Beef Stew. I made this on Halloween and a friend dropped by with her son, who was going trick-or-treating with my son. She...
