Being born and raised in Chicago, I’ve become accustomed to deep dish pizza. Then I moved up north and couldn’t find anything that remotely resembled the deep dish pizza I craved. While watching “The Kitchen” on television, one of my favorite chefs, Jeff Mauro, made a classic, Chicago style pizza. A few days later, I […]
On a recent quest in search for something different to serve for dinner, I came across this recipe in a Rachael Ray magazine. It looked appetizing so I thought I’d give it a try. I cut the recipe in half because there’s just two of us, and there were leftovers. So I would venture to […]
What could be more satisfying than tender nuggets of beef, drenched in a rich, thick gravy, served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes? I recently came across a package of beef stew meat that needed to be cooked up, but I didn’t want stew or goulash. So, I visited one of my favorite recipe sites […]

Nothing’s better than a hot bowl of soup, chock full of veggies and chunks of beefy goodness. This recipe was given to me by my youngest brother, who lives in a warm climate. His recipe calls for fresh veggies, which are available in his part of the country year round…no so in my neck of […]
When I was a little girl, we got to choose what we wanted for dinner on our birthday. My choice was either spaghetti or stuffed green peppers. Because there were 12 people in my family, Mom would make 2 trays of these. She would line up the peppers along the sides of the pan, would […]
Who doesn’t love a scrumptious dinner made in less than an hour? Sweet potatoes and chunks of chicken, lightly seasoned and roasted to perfection. But that’s not all…it’s sprinkled with cheese for a taste that’s divine. Who would have known a few simple ingredients tossed together could result in a dish fit for a Queen!
Love, love, love cooking shows. One day while changing channels, I saw Rachel Ray on the screen. On that particular day, Rachel was sharing some 30 minute meals…my kinda stuff.
