Are you ready for something lighter after the feast that may or may not have occurred over Thanksgiving? Maybe something that’s light, crisp and a little spicy? Or… maybe you decided to plan a party and need something more to serve than pigs in a blanket? I have a solution. But first let’s…

spinach and cheese lasagna rolls
My husband never wants lasagna. I’m not sure why, but whenever I suggest it, he suggests something else… Him: “What’s for dinner?” Me: “Lasagna” Him: “How about spaghetti?” So, the other night I just said: “Some spinach pasta dish I want to make” Him: “Sounds good, baby”
lemon dill salmon burgers
This is what I ended up doing with my salmon- I know I could have glazed and grilled them, herb crusted them, or- heck I could have just eaten it raw, sashimi style. But… I decided to make burgers. I’m on a burger kick. Just not traditional ones… I have been into the…
spinach “burgers”
I promised something a bit more “booty-friendly” and here it is! These are high in protein, low in carbs and absolutely delicious. Now, if you’re not fond of green things.. stick around. I have something pink and fluffy later. Mix well in a bowl like this: Now, form into burger-sized patties. (or you…
wet burritos
I had a craving for these yesterday, and kinda made the sauce as I went. Good thing it was yesterday, and I still remember! Sauce 1st: make a roux with 3 tbs butter and 4tbs flour to it, add- 1 8oz can tomato sauce(I used Spanish-style), 1 tsp cumin, 1 wooden spoon of…
broccoli cheese soup
Living in Florida, I rarely make soup. But, recently we have had some chilly days. We don’t have heat in our house, so I decided the best way to warm things up was to make bread bowls. Because I am usually still hungry if i can’t eat my bowl. Bowls are yummy. Now,…
gravlax
I got this recipe years ago out of a Martha Stewart Living magazine. Its basically a salt-cured salmon you make at home. It has a smooth buttery texture and a delicious salty dill flavor. I believe (I should Goggle it..when I have time!) it’s a Scandinavian dish. I am sure it is one…
spagetti pie
First of all, the photos here were done with my Canon point and shoot- long story, but- I am hoping to be back with Mr. Nikon very soon. ( we had a slight falling out) . I wanted someting in the oven, and the hubby wanted Italian… sooooo while I boiled up some…
my favorite sandwich
grilled eggplant, zucchini, red pepper, onion and mozzarella and basil. Really- this is a sandwich that will make you melt. Even if you aren’t a big veggie person. And, no you don’t HAVE to grill em. I did this one inside my tiny little kitchen. Peel and slice 1/3 ” thick assorted veggies-…

This is simplicity at it’s best. A leftover baked potato. Eggs, cheese, and bacon. cut the top off a potato and scoop out a bit of the inside. Add salt and pepper and a spot of butter. crack an egg into each potato and bake at 350 for 20min. Top with bacon, cheese,…
Fresh tuna burgers
As most of you know, my hubby and I and our 2 year old are avid fisher-people. ( my stepdaughter-not so much) Sometimes we get lucky and end up with Tuna. Blackfin and Skipjack-usually. Other times- we just end up with a bunch of saltwater to wash off the boat. This recipe is…
tandoori chicken
Tandoori chicken, I say is the equivalent to jerk chicken but with different spices. OK, so that kind defeats saying “equivalent”, huh? Yeah, I know… OK! About this concoction of spices: I have a recipe for true tandoori chicken, where you take the whole spices and roast them and grind them down, but-…
