Kale Pesto Pasta

An Easy and Inexpensive Kale Pesto Pesto is an expensive proposition. Sure, there are times during the summer when basil might be plentiful in your back gardens or at the farmer’s market. Even so, it’s quite an expensive endeavor when you factor in the pine nuts, heavy usage of extra-virgin olive oil, and the parmesan cheese at $20/pound. Then there’s the basil. Unless you grow it yourself, it can also be quite pricey to buy the volume of basil you need to make a good amount of pesto....

Key Lime Tart

First, let me get to the all-important question of which team you root for–Team Whipped Cream or Team Meringue. One entry from the meringue camp was the key lime pie at Blue Heaven: And one on the whipped cream side, Joe’s Stone Crab’s Key Lime Pie: Judy and I quickly identified ourselves as those of the whipped cream persuasion. We also decided that we NEEDED to have a homemade version when we got home....

Kung Pao Mushrooms Vegan

By using king mushrooms as the main ingredient, with their subtle mushroom flavor and meaty texture, this Kung Pao Mushroom dish definitely deserves status as a main dish on your dinner table....

Lemongrass Chicken

Chicken thighs are marinated in a delicious lemongrass marinade with fresh lime and ginger. It’s grilled until juicy and tender.

Mac Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

One thing you need to know about me is that I could literally live on macaroni and cheese. Any kind at all, homemade, frozen, blue box… you name it, I love it!

Repin Mac & Cheese Stuffed Meatballs Here I often serve homemade meatloaf with a side of macaroni and cheese and some salad… and the other day it occurred to me “Hey, Why not serve them together… like, really together!...

Peach Pancakes With Maple Cream Syrup

Going Peach Crazy When peach season strikes, Judy and I go a little crazy. Why buy a tiny basket of peaches when you could buy a whole BOX and treat yourself to peach pie, frozen peach mango margaritas, or a delicious stone fruit cake? For the girls (i.e., Sarah and Kaitlin), peach pie is king, but I’m all about cooking a stack of hotcakes for breakfast. Admittedly, peaches might not come to mind first in the lineup of fruit add-ins for pancakes....

Pork Holy Basil Stir Fry Pad Kra Pao

Thai Basil Vs. Holy Basil Okay, about to get real serious about basil right now. We’ve published several recipes on this blog that involve Thai basil, like this 10-Minute Chicken & Basil Stir-fry and this Thai Basil Beef. In said recipes, we used what our local Asian grocery store labels as, “Thai Basil,” which is actually a variety of cinnamon basil. This is also the kind of basil most commonly used in Thai restaurants here in the States, I believe....

Ranch Dressing Mix Ranch Seasoning

Posted Jul 14, 2023, Updated Feb 12, 2024 I used to use store-bought ranch packets often, until I read the ingredient label and was disappointed.

This ranch dressing mix recipe is made with real ingredients like organic dried spices, fine sea salt and organic buttermilk powder (optional, but recommended)....

Roasted Chickpeas A Versatile Recipe For Soups Salads Pastas

A Satisfying Vegetarian Heavy-lifter These roasted chickpeas are especially great for quick and hearty vegan and vegetarian weeknight dinners! Like many people, I haven’t totally foregone my love for meat, but I am always looking for opportunities to eat less of it and find equally tasty and satisfying plant-based protein replacements. (And while I do enjoy tempeh on occasion, I’d rather just skip the meat and go for the veggies than opt for too many soy-based meat replacements)....

Savory Maple Corn Muffins W Sage Butternut Squash Bacon And Cheese

Today was that day. I was standing in the supermarket, pacing around the produce department and wondering how I could jazz up our yearly Thanksgiving bread basket.
