Tender pork, simmered to perfection, in a sauce made from roasted peppers, garlic, tomatillos, onions and spices. Wrap it up in a tortilla with a side of refried beans for a “south of the border” treat.

Pinto Bean Soup
Hands down, my sister Joan makes the best pinto bean soup I have ever tasted, and here is her recipe. It’s got chunks of ham and tomatoes and just the right amount of “spunk”. We like to serve it with a big old hunk of corn bread.
Pierogi
Years ago one of my customers, Geri P., shared her Polish Grandma’s Pierogi recipe with me. While I do have another similar recipe on this site, I want to include this one which has sour cream in it (the other recipe does not). I had a perogi “cook off” with a handful of friends, and […]
Sauerkraut Pierogi Filling
This is my favorite filling for pierogi. Nice and tart with bits of bacon. If you prefer a less tart filling, rinse the sauerkraut before mixing with the other ingredients and drain it well.
Pierogi Cheese Filling
This recipe is for a traditional cheese filling. There are many variations of cheese filling for pierogi. Some folks add some cheddar for color or some herbs such as parsley or an onion.
Pepper Steak
Want to turn that tough old round steak into a tender, tasty dinner fit for a King? This pepper steak dish, served over rice, will do just that.
Oven Roasted Chicken
This recipe is one of my very favorites and here’s why. It’s easy to prepare, its juicy, the potatoes and carrots all cook together in the same pan and the herbs and spices turn this dish into a true comfort meal. Best of all, the juicy leftover chicken can be used to make a dynamite […]
Onion Roasted Chicken & Veggie Bake
This one pan meal is beyond delicious. The juicy chicken has a delicious onion coating and the surrounding veggies just melt in your mouth. I found this recipe on the back of a Lipton’s onion soup box many years ago and have enjoyed this dish many times since. I often add other veggies, such as […]
No Peek Chicken
Years ago, you knew what day it was by what was on the dinner table…you know, Wednesday was Prince spaghetti day and Friday, grilled cheese. My sister Elaine was in nursing school back then, along with working full time, so she and her daughter moved in with me .One day she came home so excited […]
Stovetop Meatloaf
Forty years ago there was a sweet little old lady named Emma, who lived in the apartment upstairs of me and she would come over to chat now and then. One day she came and brought a plate of meatloaf surrounded with carrots and potatoes in a very tasty gravy. She was just bursting with […]
