Here are some great little corn muffins that are beyond simple to make. I usually make most of my baked goods from scratch (half the time you scratch your head wondering what the hell am I doing when there are very good mixes out there that will accomplish the same result).  However, I  recently cooked [...]

There is something warming about a cup of chili. I am not talking about the added spices or the heat used to create it. I am talking about the soothing effect it has on one’s being. Troubles seem to slip away, though I must admit that food tends to do that for me anyways.   [...]

Italian food always seems to be a favorite of most people, especially in the winter months where comfort food is a plus. I know it is summer, but, I for one, need comfort all through the year. I know I wouldn’t be making this on a stifling hot steamy day, but there are plenty of [...]

Meatloaf is often the butt of many jokes, but in reality it is a very tasty dinner if prepared correctly. I have been using this recipe for years and it has never failed me. The best thing about meatloaf: there is no problem getting rid of the leftovers. They make perfect sandwiches, especially when topped [...]

Tuna Wiggle? That’s right. It is the epitome of comfort food. There is no rocket science to this recipe. It isn’t really very healthy for you though if you drink lots of water the sodium will wash out kind of quickly. It is the meal to make on a cold winter’s evening when the wind [...]

I love turkey dinner and I always need to have cranberry sauce to accompany it. [...]

Zucchini time is here. This is such a versatile vegetable as it can be part of every meal. Cook it in a sweet bread, a stew, by itself, or baked as an entree for dinner. There are also many varieties of zucchini. My neighbor, Lise, gave me a very huge zucchini and informed me that [...]

Talk about heat! Whoa. I am not one that usually complains about the weather as I live in New England and if I wait a minute it’s going to change. No surprise there. But, sometimes it can get a little too muggy for my pleasure. Those are the days when I just about forget cooking. [...]

I love mangoes and I love salsa so what would be better than combining the two? There are many ways to make it and many ways to utilize it so that it improves a favorite dish. It is quite scrumptious just sitting on a white corn nacho or as a topping for a fajita, which [...]

One of the things about growing old is that we tend to look back over the years. One of my fondest memories is the Sunday dinner with family. I don’t have much family around here anymore, the kids have grown and moved on to better places. However, I still have my husband and luckily, my [...]
