Dr. Martin's Mi...

Dr. Martin's Mix This is pure comfort food and is a dish that I remember well from my childhood. When I was old enough, I took over cooking dinner for my family since my mom, by that time, was working full-time outside the home. This is one of the first dishes I learned to make. We...

Spicy Breakfast Saus...

Spicy Breakfast Sausage I have a friend who just discovered she is allergic to a bunch of different foods which makes it really difficult to use prepackaged foods and mixes or to eat out in restaurants. She came to stay with us for a week while in town on business and I wanted to...

Napa Cabbage Salad...

Napa Cabbage Salad I recently made this for an after theater potluck with a bunch of college students and there was not one piece left at the end of the dinner. I thought this would be a good recipe to post while I’m on vacation in Cancun since it is a nice light salad. Napa...

Food For Thought: Th...

This quote seems relevant as I head to Cancun on vacation tomorrow. I expect to eat a lot of fresh fruit and other yummy things while there but it seems that I all too often don’t remember those who have contributed to making what we eat possible. I think of those who prepared...

Oven Fried Chicken...

Oven Fried Chicken When my kids were growing up this was one of their favorite dinners. We’d have baked potatoes with sour cream and a vegetable along with this chicken and it was a most satisfying meal. Just last week one of my daughter’s neighborhood friends facebooked...

Ravioli with Brown B...

Ravioli with Brown Butter and Sage This is a fantastic dish composed of only four ingredients – butter, cheese ravioli, fresh sage, and walnuts. I had made some spicy pork sausage and had fresh sage left over but it is worth it to splurge on fresh sage in order to make this!...

Honey Mustard Beet S...

Honey Mustard Beet Salad This is a great winter salad that is very colorful and tasty. It makes a lot but is the kind of salad that gets better the longer the beets marinate in the dressing. My friend with all the food allergies was able to enjoy this because there are no additives...

Wild Rice & Mush...

Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup The other day I ran across an old folder of recipes I had clipped from newspapers and magazines most of which I never tried. I bet all you foodies out there have the same kind of file laying around! It was fun to go through the recipes to see if there...

Food For Thought...

Folks who don’t enjoy cooking or who see cooking as a utilitarian act do not understand the satisfaction that is felt by those who see cooking as a creative act. My husband constantly asks me why I’m going to all the “trouble” to fix homemade food for church...
