Pork Pot Roast...

It seems like whenever we think of pot roast we think of beef. But, I bought a whole pork loin at Costco and cut it in half to make two roasts. Since I had so much pork in the freezer, I thought why not do the same thing we do with beef and have pork pot roast!! So the other night...

Food For Thought ...

It seems like no matter how big the party, the majority of the people in attendance will crowd into the kitchen to hang out. Our current home has basically a galley kitchen but a large great room with vaulted ceilings. The galley is actually great for cooking because I can get to...

Oven Roasted Green B...

Oven Roasted Green Beans I haven’t posted a vegetable dish in awhile so thought I’d post this. It’s so easy that I hesitated to post it but is so good that I went ahead as you can see. This same procedure can be followed using frozen asparagus spears and they’re...

Moroccan Spiced Sala...

This is a wonderfully unusual salad. It’s a blend of savory spices, crunchy nuts, chewy raisins, rice, and beans with a hint of lemon and mint. The blend of rice, beans, and nuts makes it appropriate for a vegetarian main dish and it makes a great side with roasted chicken...
