Low Carb/Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche
January means three things to me; it’s cold, I have a birthday, and it’s diet season. I always diet in January. It’s the easiest time of year to try to lose a few pounds because everyone else is also trying to get rid of the holiday love handles. This year is a little different because I actually started last month (because I love to torture myself and be surrounded ...
Italian Braised Beef Shanks Recipe
I vividly remember saying to someone in conversation just a few months ago, “I hope we have a cold winter. We sure do need it.” We need it because it’s good for crops and bug suppression and because I love fruit and I want fresh, juicy local peaches come Summer. But I would be a big, fat, liar if I said that I am enjoying getting just what I asked for. January is shaping up to ...

Sheet Pan Garlic Butter Salmon
Even though Christmas is over, we all still have a little time left to celebrate friends and family. (Our family especially has reason to celebrate since I became a Great Aunt to beautiful baby girl.) But let’s be honest, by the time we all get through the hustle and bustle of Christmas we all want to be a little more relaxed to ring in the new year. That means celebratory ...
Upside Down Pear Cake
I’ve been on a pear kick lately. This is a strange thing for me because, well, I don’t really like pears. I mean they are kind of like an apple but not an apple. They are juicier which is good, but they sometimes have a weird grainy texture that makes me cringe a little. I don’t mind cooked pears but this fat bottomed fruit is not the first thing I reach for in the produce ...
Ham Broccoli and Potato Chowder
The tree is up, even though it leans precariously to one side as if tempting one of the new kittens to bring it all down in a blaze of silver tinsel and glory. A small smattering of precisely wrapped and bowed packages are waiting patiently under the leaning tree tempting the children to wonder what could be in them. In the kitchen, the last vestiges of Thanksgiving dinner – ...
5 Minute Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Several weeks ago, my husband and I found ourselves lying in bed at 10AM, recuperating from a very long, very busy week. My feet throbbed with exhaustion, my stomach reminded me that we were too tired to eat dinner the night before and I discovered that somewhere along the way I had picked up a family of chiggers. It was at this point that my husband, not in much better shape ...
Maple Pecan Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
Now that the pumpkins have been carved and the only thing left in the candy stash is a couple of Smarties and a boat load of Tootsie Rolls, it’s time to turn our attention to the fast approaching holiday season. I know this year has zoomed by, but nevertheless, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. November in our family is also a heavy birthday month. My Mom, my ...
Muffin Tin Eggs Sardou with Quick Hollandaise
The Big Easy is known the world over as a city full of music, culture and booze. But even more than the party-all-day persona, New Orleans is loved for its food. In our distant past, my husband and I made a few vacations down to NOLA to test-drive our new love (and our livers) in the city that never seems to sleep and while we had more than I fair share of Sazeracs and ...
