Grilled Potato, Veggie & Herb Packets
I have often drooled over recipes of “packet”‘ fish or “packet” veggies but I never NEVER seem to have heavy duty aluminum foil to make them. I guess I could […]
Herbed Soufflé Omelet with Ham and Mushrooms
I do love me some eggs. Haven’t you noticed? But tonight I didn’t want to make the “same old omelet” or another frittata. I contemplated a quiche but realized that […]
Lemon-Herb Grilled Chicken and Maftoul
The May Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by the incomparable Sawsan from chef in disguise. Sawsan challenged us to try our hands (literally!) at making maftoul – hand-rolled Palestinian couscous that […]
Red Thai Curry with Chicken (Gaeng Ped Gai)
I love curry dishes. SOOO very much. Especially when they contain coconut milk and chicken. It’s one of my all-time favorite combinations. I first fell in love with this tantalizing […]
Spaghetti Carbonara

Leek, Mushroom and Orzo Soup
Another wonderfully delicious and comforting soup recipe for another cold winters day here in Buffalo, NY. Using up a bunch of leeks (left from making Spanakopita last week), a batch […]
90-Minute Sausage Lasagna
I have a tried and true lasagna recipe that I had turned to time and time again. It has a flavor-packed, thick meat sauce, alternating with layers of ricotta, mozzarella […]
Spanakopita
The February Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by Audax of Audax Artifex. The challenge brought us to Greece with a delicious, flaky spanakopita – a spinach pie in a phyllo […]
Prosciutto Cream Pasta with Peas
So many of my recipes seem to come from a necessity to make something out of nothing. Well not out of nothing, but out of little bits and pieces of […]
Egg and Hash Brown Breakfast Pie
This is so good. I guess you could call it a hash brown casserole but i think breakfast pie is much more fun. Who said that having pie for breakfast […]
