These taste almost identical to PF Changs but are half the work and very low calorie. I use Yoshida’s sauce for a lot of the flavor and the water chestnuts are essential to this recipe or you won’t have that wonderful crunch! I know there are some who would turn their little foodie noses up at the…

Baked Ziti with Sausage and Bechamel
Cooked ziti pasta mixed with sausage, marinara sauce and topped with a creamy bechamel. I love me some tomato and cream flavors and this made my heart go zing! Don’t be intimidated by the bechamel, it’s just a simple white sauce…and if you have never made white sauce before, this is going to improve your cooking…
Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup
This Gnocchi Sausage Soup will quickly become your fave soup! We started calling this ‘shut up soup’, because we took one bite and said “Oh shut up!, that is so good!”. I am a soupateer, a soup savant, a master of the broth!….(you could say, I love soup 🙂 and this soup is a 5 spoon…
Eula’s Casserole
I’ll bet most people have a ‘go to’ casserole in their family recipe box…they almost all include a can of cream of ka-ka (cream style soup), and this one is not much different, but every time I make this, I get asked for the recipe! It feeds a crowd and has a fresh flavor that not all creamy…
Sugar Seared Salmon with Pineapple Salsa
I have never seen another recipe like this one. We were in Maui and I was watching one of those tourist channels and they were preparing this salmon at a restaurant in Lahaina. I have been making it ever since! This is one of those recipes that works during the week but is also a show…
Quick Chicken and Corn Chowder
Ahhhhh, just in time for the wet weather here in Seattle! This is so easy and so darn good. I was so glad the photo came out, ’cause I just ate the last bowl for lunch! Use a cooked rotisserie chicken from your local mega mart to make it even easier to prepare. Top with…
Marinara Primavera
This is a simple marinara packed with veggies (hence the Primavera)…now why would you make a homemade marinara when there is all that bottled stuff on the grocery store shelf, you ask? Quite simply, flavor, texture and nutrition…it is low in calorie and has half the sodium and who doesn’t need more vegetables in their diet. I…
Crockpot Turkey Chili with Sweet Potatoes
Great start on a Sunday morning when you know you won’t feel like cookin’ on Sunday evening! The sweet potatoes add a punch of flavor but can be excluded if you prefer. Chili is a dumping ground for your fridge…if you’ve got some carrots, zucchini or most any other vegetable that has seen better days…
Asian Style Turkey Meatloaf
Note to self: If one wants to be a successful food blogger, be sure to take photo’s of food before serving to your hungry family. This is all that is left… a meatloaf carcas, but this recipe is too good not to share so here goes, Ingredients 1 1/2 pound ground turkey or chicken 1…
Tortilla Soup
Tortilla Soup! A yummy take on an old classic. This recipe truly is the BEST tortilla soup you’ll find! I know, I know, there are hundreds of variations of this recipe, all just a little different. But I think what knocks mine out of the park is to saute chopped up tortilla’s with the onion…it…
