Happy Halloween – 2011
Saturday was our annual Halloween party! We had a great time with friends, playing games and eating food. I decided after last year to do another giant pot of chili as the main food dish. It worked out great, and anything left over I’ll freeze and use over the next few months. As for the…

A Taste of Fall: Stuffed Acorn Squash
I am not a big squash fan. Just the name of it sounds kind of gross. Squash. But, it’s supposed to be healthy and as a fall fanatic, something always draws me to the piles of squash at the farmer’s market. Along with pumpkins and gourds, squash is a symbol of fall. Usually I just…

A Garden Dinner
I’m not yet to the point of growing enough in my garden to make a whole meal out of only home-grown foods, but I do love it when I can incorporate veggies from my garden as a main part of my dinner. Last week I tried something new: homemade spaghetti sauce. For some reason, I…

Kung Pao Chicken
I have been trying to get this recipe right for some time now. Kung Pao Chicken is my favorite dish to order at a Chinese restaurant, and I still dream of the amazing Kung Pao at the restaurant we used to frequent in my home town. Without a decent Chinese restaurant in our area now,…

Pineapple-Jalapeño Chicken
This is another one of those recipes from necessity…you know, where I have a few ingredients lying around that I need to use up, so I decide to make up a new dish. This time, I had jalapeños from the garden that I needed to use up, plus some orange bell peppers. I had some…

Fruit Pizza
Fruit pizza is a dessert that has been a tradition in my family for a long time. The original recipe came from our family cook book, but my mom and I have re-vamped it a little so that it’s more to our liking. It’s a delicious dessert that’s great for summertime, when there are lots…

Salad, Breadsticks & Smoothie
I found this recipe for Garlic Dill Twists—breadsticks, essentially—a while back and have been dying to try it. I finally had (almost) all of the right ingredients; step two was trying to figure out how to justify making breadsticks for dinner. I decided if I paired them with a big green salad and a healthy…

Today was one of those days. I was thinking…

Crab-Couscous Stuffed Tomatoes
I had seen a recipe for stuffed tomatoes a while back, but couldn’t remember where. I also remember seeing some recipes that combined tomato and crab (imitation) and thinking that sounded good. Going off that and a couple of recipes for stuffed tomatoes, I decided to make up my own recipe, using what I had…
