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.

This spicy garlic shrimp stir fry recipe got a surprised “Wow that’s really good!” from him, even the zucchini’s were cooked […]

I first flew Delta airlines not too many years ago, and became immediately addicted to these cookies. Oh gosh! I was absolutely thrilled when […]
I was running late tonight. I was writing and had the “what am I going to do about dinner” thing nagging me in the back of my head. My plan was to make lasagna….but the need to write was stronger than the need to cook – so lasagna will have to wait. I was thinking of […]
