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…
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Oh great pumpkin…moist and mysterious…okay, sorry, I got a little carried away. I am so in love with pumpkin flavored everything this year! We had this at Shuckers Restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle…it was to die! I knew I had to try to remake it…I think I came pretty close! Crust: 1 3/4 cups…
Orange ‘Brownies’
These are just decadent and wonderful! Blasts of sugar, butter and orange will fix that sweet tooth you have had hangin’ around. I heard some where that these won first place at a Pillsbury Bake Off contest but I can’t find any info on it. They are simple to make with only a few ingredients…hope…
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…
Cranberry Orange Chutney (Canning friendly recipe)

Bacon, Cheese and Onion Biscuits
I used to do a lot of event planning….and one of the places I looked forward to every year was the Mountain Springs Lodge in Leavenworth Washington…it wasn’t just because it is so beautiful, although it is…it was the scalloped potatoes. Little puffs of heaven. I told my friend Laurie, when my time comes, I…
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…
Pesto
Fresh Pesto! Since I was in my teens, I have been making pesto with my mom. This was way before I knew what pesto was, in fact, I believe it was before most people knew what pesto was! The recipe was from Gourmet magazine, and although I can not find the original recipe, I believe this…
