Have you ever seen ginger that was grayish-blue? While preparing my stir-fry tonight I started to peel the ginger and noticed the unusual color. I don’t know that I have ever seen this before. So, I google “blue ginger” and sure enough Cooks Illustrated had a short article about it. Apparently, if it is stored … Continue reading
My first thought was how delicious a stew using pork and apple cider would be. I mean I have lamb and beef recipes so why not add pork to the list. Apples are an ingredient which makes this the perfect Fall recipe. Be sure to serve it over egg noodles or at the very least … Continue reading
Sheet pan recipes are so convenient and actually fun to make. Pork tenderloin, or “Gentlmen’s Cut” is a great candidate for this type of cooking as well as the three veggies I’ve used (technically, potatoes are a stem vegetable) Then I also love, love balsamic vinegar and rosemary!

I just love these baby carrots which are perfect for grilling in just 10-15 minutes. I found some seeds from the Chas. C. Hart Seed Co. in Connecticut. Only 3-1/2 to 4-inches long and 3/4-inch around. Maybe a fall crop… In the meantime I will buy these sweet little veggies.

This is a simple side dish that you can make ahead of time and freeze for up to 1 month. So, I have already made it and popped it in my freezer; come Thanksgiving day I will see how good it tastes then (see comment below). I believe in homemade recipes and getting dishes done … Continue reading
I like to prepare these ribbons ahead of time and then cook briefly in a butter/olive oil mixture. This recipe is quick and is a very tasty side dish that goes well with any entrée. The second recipe is from Midwest Living magazine and the third is a Weight Watcher’s recipe which includes goat cheese. Just … Continue reading
This is one of my favorite vegetable combinations to make in the microwave. A great side dish when your oven and stove top are busy – like on Thanksgiving.
This dish goes back a long way and was one of my Dad’s favorite meals that he prepared for his family, usually during the holidays or for a special occasion. Actually, I should say he supervised his three daughters in making it; Mom had the night off… I have combined my Dad’s recipe with Ina Garten’s recipe for this … Continue reading
