I made this using sliced almonds and they over cooked in the blink of an eye. The heavier blanched slivered almonds are the way to go and do keep a close eye on them. You just want then a nice light golden shade when done. MAKES: 4-6 servings INGREDIENTS: 2 cups jasmine rice 1/2 teaspoon saffron thread 2 tablespoons orange [...]

Even though we still have 2 feet of snow covering my part of the world. This creation has a taste of Spring with great savory sweet elements. It’s a always enjoyed in our home and I hope that it will be in yours also. MAKES: 2 servings INGREDIENTS: 2 pork loin chops, 3/4-1 inch thick and well trimmed [...]

If you enjoy scones you’ll really want to try these. They have proved to be a must at our house. This is a little different in that you make the scone dough into a round loaf to cut after it’s baked instead of cutting the scone shape before baking. The scones are wonderful in and [...]

My hubby thinks that these are one of the things that make life worth living. He has a pineapple passion and recipe satisfies it very well. When I make them he keeps finding a reason to come into the kitchen and somehow they seem to jump into his hand as he passes the counter, it’s [...]

I had half of a 1 pound package of veggie crumbles, 1/3 of a can of stewed tomatos and a very small amount of cheddar cheese in the fridge. All of which were ready to be used. Rather than making more leftovers and adding to the collection, this is how what I had in the [...]

I made this tonight and served it warm beside a simple meatloaf and this salad really stole the show. It has great flavor that just keeps improving with standing time. This is lighter in fat and calories than the heavy mayonnaise based salads. MAKES: 6 servings INGREDIENTS: 2 lbs tiny Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed well 1/3 cup garlic [...]

This is a very adaptable dough that will make a wonderful bread loaf, sandwich buns or small dinner rolls. It’s very easy to work with and there is no need to change the recipe to make which ever variety you want to make that day. It also has a wonderful aroma when baking that will [...]

This makes a very big cake that is perfect for a large family or when your expecting guests. I make this in either a half amount or make the full amount and bake it in two smaller cakes, one for the freezer and one for Hubby to enjoy right away. For the best results take [...]

This soup isn’t hard to make and it’s a delicious meal when you want something healthy and light. MAKES: 2 servings INGREDIENTS: 8 ounces sea bass or sole or other fish fillets (fresh or frozen) 6 ounces peeled and de-veined shrimp (fresh or frozen) 2 cups water 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and cut up 1 cup thinly sliced carrot (2 medium) 1/2 cup [...]

This is a grand soup to make with leftover chicken from any source. If your feeling frugal you can even use a leftover roast chicken carcass in the pot to add meat and flavor. On the other hand you can add raw chopped chicken to the pot along with the onions and mushrooms to lightly [...]

I love, love, love this!. Lots of flavor, easy, and can be made ahead to allow a marinade time if desired. This is a great side dish but in the warmer months will be a welcome lighter meal in it’s self. It can be served as soon as it’s made at room temp or chilled [...]

This simple cake is loved by the men around here. It’s made with ingredients that are commonly kept on hand, nothing exotic or hard to get here. It to go to cake when your having coffee with a friend and discussing that person down the street. Baking choices are given at at the bottom of [...]

I just got home from a road trip last night and wanted I something light after restaurant fare for 4 days. This fit what I was looking for perfectly, it’s light of the tummy and wonderful on the taste buds. I stopped at the organic market coming home and my purchases included some great looking [...]

This is so named because it loves to travel! It’s a favorite at home or make it-take it recipe that can be very easily altered according to what you have in the house. Feel free to experiment and to use your favorite fruits, nuts and juices (dried fruit works best if you intend to take [...]

What a truly wonderful soup. So much flavor from a few healthy ingredients. If you are looking for a light low calorie lunch or meal starter you have found it! The light touch of lemon really sparkles. It’s ideal for a light summer lunch, I haven’t tried it chilled but I think that it would [...]

These great tasting peas that are one of my family favorites. This recipe is written using frozen peas for year round use but for a real treat use fresh peas when you can get them in season. Just cook them lightly before adding them to the pan, you don’t want them to be mushy. This [...]

A tea bread that is truly good for your body and your spirit (because you’ll beef no guilt for enjoying it!). Even though it’s made with whole wheat it has a light texture and almost flakiness in the crust portion. While I made this using a 9×5 loaf pan this time, I now recommend a, [...]

These muffins are unbelievably good still hot from the oven and the butter melting beautifully. You won’t be unhappy with the fully cooled muffins either. These are made with natural wheat bran and are much lower in fat and sugar that the “bran cakes” sold at the fast food and donut places. These muffins are [...]

Good home cooking with an a flavor that will please the family. This could also be easily done in the crock pot while you are away (or just busy). Just put it in the pot and set on low for about 6 – 7 hrs and pull the bones out while you have the noodles [...]

A basic but delicious chicken dish that you might encounter in Eastern Europe. I believe that the sour cream is a classic ingredient in that part of the world.
