Slow Cooker Sausage, Mushroom and Orzo Soup
Spring is in the air in Seattle (well as much as Spring can ever be in the air in Seattle), so I thought I’d get soup out of my system until fall! This can be prepared stove top or slow cooker. Slow cooker works a little better because the sausage has time to marry with the…
Skillet Pasta with Italian Sausage
Another Skillet Dish recipe! The working girl (and guy) has gotta love these. One pan, a few common ingredients and dinner is on the table. I adapted this dish from Country Cooks magazine. A subscription I sometimes love. Not all their recipes works for me, which is a bit bizarre since the entire premise of…
Panini 101 – Make the perfect Panini! No Special Equipment needed!
You can use this basic recipe to make homemade Panini’s that are as good as any fancy sandwich shop or restaurant. I used fresh Mozzarella, Pesto and Roasted Red Peppers for a Caprese style Panini. I substituted Roasted Red Peppers instead of traditional tomato because I think it adds a lot more flavor and tomato’s can make your…

Crunchy Oven Baked Shrimp with Peachy Dipping Sauce
Crunchy Oven Fried Shrimp with Spicy Peachy sauce! I can’t get enough of them! I will make the peach sauce over and over again, I can already taste it with salmon and turkey burgers and pork chops and chicken and fish and…well you get the point. It’s yummy! The sauce is so simple, it is made out of peach…
Clean Eating Soup!
“Clean Eating Soup” – Okay, so the name doesn’t roll off the tongue like say…’Succulent Stuffed Pork Chops smothered in a decadent demi-glaze’, but sometimes (mostly on Sundays after a weekend of really good-bad food), you have to do something healthy for yourself and I do believe this soup may be the ticket! I was given…
Slow Cooker Pork Posole
Must be winter in Seattle! Everything I post latley is hot and in a bowl! Posole is a hearty stew from Mexico. Traditional accompaniments include chopped lettuce, cilantro and lime, but a dolop of sour cream would’nt hurt either. An unusual ingredient in this dish is hominy. Hominy is corn that has been processed to remove 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…
Cream Wafer Cookies
My grandma was a lousy cook. I mean spit it out in your napkin kinda bad. Everything was fried to a crisp in a cast iron skillet on her stove…you better have a sharp knife if you are going to dine with Grandma ’cause hackin’ through some of those pieces of chicken was a chore!…
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…
