This texture of this cheesy casserole reminds me of a quiche…it just melts in your mouth. My family likes meat, so I sometimes add ham or bacon and I’ll toss in a few extra spices to kick it up a notch, but let me say, it is very tasty just as it is. I hope […]
Dinner
Zucchini Pancakes
Years ago I had a big garden which yielded an enormous crop of zucchini. Even after sharing with friends and neighbors, I still had tons, so I started my search for zucchini recipes. Luckily, I found this gem. I didn’t think my family would care for it as they are “meat and potato” folks, but […]
Turkey Casserole
I always struggled with what to do with leftover turkey. You can only eat so many sandwiches and bowls of soup. Several years ago my friend Norma shared this recipe with me. Its creamy, cheesy and so flavorful. You prepare it the night before, so it’s convenient as well.
Turkey and White Bean Chili
One day while watching cooking shows, Giada, a spunky little Italian chef, made a pot of chicken chili. It sounded different, so I thought I’d give it a try. I went to 3 different store and not one had ground chicken, so I settled for ground turkey instead. My family loved it, so turkey chili […]
Tuna Casserole
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 […]
Tangy Meatloaf
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!
Tandoori Chicken
Marinated in yogurt and spices, this dish is juicy and bursting with flavor. Serve it with a side of rice or Naan bread.
Taco Pie
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.
Chana Masala (Savory Indian Garbanzo Beans)
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 […]
Stuffed Zucchini
Years ago I was at a friends house and her neighbor brought over some zucchini, fresh from his garden. Jeanne was so excited because she couldn’t decide what to make for dinner that evening with the ground beef she had defrosted. She immediately started making the meat sauce and the aroma was tantalizing. When the […]
