A Fall Dish

It was my turn to cook our main lunch meal today. I had no idea what I was going to cook, but I shook the freezer (old family joke!) and pork chops fell out. Ok. So…a base of pork. In the fruit bowl were a few apples that were needing to be used as wellContinue reading “A Fall Dish”

Healthy Eating: The Green Stuff

Have I turned into the big green guy that fights bad guys? Nope. Not at all. Ok, well, maybe I’ve been seriously annoyed, even angry this week, but I certainly didn’t go tearing around destroying things! I’m talking about spinach. That green stuff!

I was tired of beingContinue reading “How Goes the Journey and a Chicken Recipe”

All-In Pico de Gallo

Our family loves pico de gallo! What is that? Well, for the uninitiated, it’s a type of fresh salsa. It’s delicious! Only trouble is that it’s expensive.

Whathe Chicken Tortilla Soup?
