I some times wonder if I chose the wrong profession. Maybe I should have been an architect, a pilot, or possibly a chemist. I love design, travel, and experimenting. But alas, I hate math. So I’m a musician. This way I can count to 4, and start again….

Simply the Easiest Egg Bake
I am a morning person – – – – – please don’t hate me! I think this “morning disorder” comes from an intense need and/or desire to have some alone-time before starting a busy day. I light a candle, pour a mug of coffee, pull out my Bible and journal, and get lost in the … Read more Simply the Easiest Egg Bake
Pressure Cooker Baked Potatoes
Some times it’s the simplest things that are the best. What can beat a baked potato with butter, salt and pepper? Adding cheese and sour cream is a great treat. How about some crumbled bacon? Or that tiny amount of leftover chili? Or even better, some jalapeño cheese dip!
Pulled Pork
Some times the simplest things go unnoticed, fly under the radar. Just think how pleasant a chair beside a lake is, or the smell of autumn leaves, or the sight of winter’s first snowflake. Pulled pork is so easy that it’s hard to find a recipe in any cookbook.
Minnesota-style Manhattan Clam Chowder
I can’t help it. Even though I have flown through JFK many times, I have never been to Manhattan. Any time spent on the East Coast was when I was very young. BUT I have wonderful memories of making friends in Maine, eating fresh seafood every day, and Dad coming back with huge stories after spending a day on a lobster boat. My take-away from that trip? CLAMS. Steamed, stewed, or chowdered. Clams are the best.
Caramelized Salmon
Salmon is one of the quickest, simplest, healthiest foods to prepare. And I prepare it often! Obviously! There are so many salmon recipes on my blog that I’ve considered renaming it “The Salmon Concerto”.
Bourbon Chicken & Vegetable Stir-fry
This recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: chicken (my all-time favorite food is chicken caesar salad), vegetables (hello, baby corn!), and bourbon. Yes, bourbon. If you doubt my affinity for this Kentucky-made, corn-based, charred-oak-barrel-aged beverage, just search my blog. At least one dozen recipes using bourbon pop up. I love that stuff! The secret … Read more Bourbon Chicken & Vegetable Stir-fry
Comforting Turkey Noodle Soup – gluten free
The best phrase to describe this soup is “comfort in a bowl”. Even though “comfort in a cup” sounds better, turkey noodle soup is so amazing, you are definitely going to want more than a cup worth! Bring on the biggest bowl in the house!
Creamy Chicken Alfredo for Two
Friday night. Date night at home. Candlelit dinner near the crackling fire, cloth napkins, flowers in a glass vase, pretty dishes, something special for dessert, and no calorie counting – just food so delicious you can’t hold in that big sigh.
