I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes. Here you’ll find some great options to put a quick meal on the table, or a great recipe for Sunday dinner or entertaining. I live in a fairly rural area, and our grocery stores don’t promote gourmand tastes. Simple ingredients, great and easy techniques, lead to fabulous meals. Give them a try and please feel free to leave a comment!

I’m a big proponent of family dinner – at the dinner table – every night. We all lead extremely busy lives. Between school, work, sports, boy scouts, pets and maintaining a home, sometimes putting a meal on the table seems impossible – but it doesn’t have to be. In my opinion, the #1 tool to […]
This was dinner tonight – and it was seriously wonderful. The family was skeptical, as they’re not fans of curry – but this turned out to be a great meal – and one I’ll definitely make again. You can handle the sauce 2 ways – either marinate the chicken in it and then boil it, […]
