Pennsylvania Dutch Pork Ribs – This recipe for braised country style pork ribs with sauerkraut and apples is without a doubt a close cousin to French Choucroute Garnie. During the summer, the country ribs are bathed in tangy barbecue sauce and served over spicy saffron rice or pilaf but when the temperatures dip, I prepare this version […]

Simple Beef Chili – It’s officially Fall and the temperatures drop as soon as the sun goes down. Time for beef chili. The temperature does not drop dramatically (we’re now starting the day in the ’40s rather than the high 70’s) but after a long Indian summer and what seems like endless weeks of brutal […]

Chunky Tomato Basil Soup Recipe – Most Sunday mornings are very busy. It’s usually when I purchase all the groceries Mom needs for the coming week. Busy too? Pin the recipe for later.

I also would venture to say there are as many variations as there are great cooks in Greece. Is It Eggplant or […]

It is easy to prepare an artisan pizza for those of us who are following a gluten-free diet. Our sample is a take on a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The crust (made by Schär® and found in the natural food aisle at the supermarket) bakes up crisp, crunchy but more importantly – flavorful. A year […]

I’m making my easy Italian meatloaf recipe! It was the first recipe that came to mind last week when I found a special on ground veal. One of Mom’s signature “entertainment” menus featured veal Marinara as the main dish. Not veal cutlets, but a thick, fork tender patties the size of a small saucer drenched […]

Home Style Pork and Beans – Let’s make that pork and beans with Applewood smoked bacon! You might wonder why anyone would be cooking pork and beans in August when the temperature’s rising and a summer storm front is brewing.

This recipe for curried chicken thighs could be prepared in the slow cooker but I had the time and took the opportunity to use one of my favorite 5 quart dutch ovens – part of my vintage, hard anodized, commercial quality, Calphalon® cookware collection from the mid 80s. It’s much like using cast iron cookware. […]
