When I had my last child, over 30 years ago, my boss Carol threw a baby shower for me (it had been 11 years since my previous child was born, so everything was long gone). Carol made two big trays of this tuna casserole, which was her Aunts recipe, for the shower guests and they […]
Nothing’s better than a meatloaf sandwich…problem is, there’s never any leftovers when I make this meatloaf. It has just the right seasonings and the sweet and tangy topping pushes it over the edge. Goes great with a baked potato!
Marinated in yogurt and spices, this dish is juicy and bursting with flavor. Serve it with a side of rice or Naan bread.
Years ago I found this recipe on the box of Bisquick. This pie is quick and easy to prepare and it tastes good too. Even the “picky” kid liked it. Sometimes I change it up a bit by adding an extra ingredient, such as a handful of frozen kernel corn or a sweet red pepper.
My old friend Sudesh shared this recipe with me almost 50 years ago. It’s a savory mix of chick peas, tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices…lots of spices, simmered to perfection. The chick peas are served with Roti or Naan bread. I cook the chick peas in a pressure cooker, but the old stove top method […]

She immediately started making the meat sauce and the aroma was tantalizing. When the […]
This stuffed squash is a meal in itself. The corn bread and sausage stuffing is moist and savory, with a touch of sweetness from the apples and raisins. If served as a meal, this will serve 2 people. If used as a side, it will serve 4.
Bite sized pieces of chicken, marinated in a delightful Asian type sauce, stir fried to perfection and served over rice. This is a great basic recipe that you can add more ingredients to make it your own. I like to add water chestnuts, snow peas and cashews. The skies the limit!
A friend of mine recently gave me this recipe. I was hesitant to try it because I don’t favor spicy dishes. Much to my surprise, the dish turned out delicious. The orange marmalade and lime juice balance out the heat of the Sriracha sauce, leaving you with a flavorful chicken dish. I like to serve […]
Rich, thick spaghetti sauce, chock full of meat and just the right amount of seasonings, slowly simmered for full flavor.You can add more spices or herbs to suit your taste.
