Dinner
Flounder with Fennel
Fish has never been one of my favorite foods, so when we decided to eat healthier, I picked up some flounder at the market. I scoured through my church cookbooks (that’s where you’ll find the best recipes because no one wants to put their name on something that’s not tasty) and came across this dish. […]
Five Hour Stew
Back when my children were young, I used to clean houses for a living. Sometimes, when I arrived to their homes and I would be hit with a most tantalizing aroma when I reached the kitchen. Of course I would inquire what it was and would ask for the recipe. This is one of those […]
Double Crispy Chicken
Who doesn’t like crispy chicken? This juicy, lip smackin’ good chicken is smothered in crushed corn flakes and baked to perfection. I found this recipe on a box of corn flakes years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. You can “make it your own” by adding herbs or spices that your family enjoys.

Oven Roasted Chicken
Succulent chicken, with just the right spices, surrounded with carrots, onions and potatoes and baked to perfection. And best of all, its quick and easy to prepare.
Chicken Vesuvio
Juicy chicken, bathed in herbs, simmered in wine with capers nestled around the potatoes. (I double the wine/broth mixture as we like extra “sauce” to dip our Italian bread in).
Oven Fried Chicken Thighs
These flavorful oven fried chicken thighs are crispy on the outside. juicy on the inside and no oily splatter to clean up!
Chicken Tetrazzini
My sister Kathy shared this recipe with me back in 2006—seems like just yesterday. She had made this dish for a family get-to-gether and it was a huge hit. The creamy sauce, the tender chicken and parmesan cheese …what more could you ask for! Just a quick note: I recently visited my sister in Colorado […]
