The ultimate bar, for me has to be the Blondie. I’ve made so many variations of this but only blogged a few. Here is one that I know will become part of your repertoire. This time I’m using one of my favorite flavors - coffee. The better quality the better the taste (did I really [...]
I'd be lying if I said I didn't pay much attention to US politics. My nerves are on edge waiting for this day to be over - this week, this year! Not going to give you much of a preamble today, just hoping you have these ingredients in your pantry. This is a must try [...]
I heard the familiar sound of the garbage truck rounding the corner of our street, and sprung out of bed and ran to put out what we had. What a shock, it's not shorts weather in Kansas Dorothy! I wont complain though, there is still (even with all 2020 has thrown us) so much beauty [...]
Here’s a great Breakfast Muffin recipe. I like it because it has some whole wheat flour in it, and, the choice of flavorings can be anything you have in your pantry. I added a handful of dried coconut, dried blueberries and currants, as well as almond slices. I also made them in a mini muffin [...]

Here is a fun recipe to try this weekend, especially if you are having company (within the guidelines of course) [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love salmon! One of my favorite fish to cook and eat! So tasty, it’s really hard to screw it up and there are so many ways to cook it - baked, broiled, pan fried, bbq (among others) and of course, my favorite - poached! [...]
Whenever I get involved in a conversation on cuisines, I always poke fun of the number of ingredients it takes to make authentic Indian food. No matter the region, if there is a spice, it’s in the curry - blending, merging, enhancing, dancing with the other spices, no matter how little is used. It’s fiddly [...]
I must admit I am getting restless with all this baking. My “must try” recipe file is getting bigger than my waistline! It doesn’t help that I keep subscribing to interesting feeds from other feeds I normally feed off (no pun(s) intended) - a vicious cycle for a foodie. But while I see a lot [...]
A delightful tasting lentil (dal) dish that is vegetarian and tasty enough even for the carnivores to enjoy. It's a meal on it's own or can be a side to a meal. I’m using my favorite red lentils for this but you could use any type of lentil, just adjust the cooking time. You can [...]

Today I'm using sweet potato, yellow and orange peppers, onions, garlic, jalapenos, fresh basil and thyme. Below are some substitution/addition suggestions if you need them. I made this to [...]
