Main Dish
Chicken Sausage Bombers (Easy & Lo Cal)
Right now, until the school year ends, I am living in pragmatic-land. It’s a place where–somehow–we manage to eat healthy and tasty food while engaging in, ummm, like 10 extra activities a day. It’s definitely a challenge… but today the food fairy came to visit! Yes, yes, I know there’s no food fairy, but the … Continue reading
All the Leftovers Chicken Curry
I have been struggling to blog lately. Between the kids’ busy schedules and the lack of fresh local food, it has been tough. Part of the problem is the fact that I get inspiration from beautiful local food–a crisp head of lettuce, a bunch of fragrant dill, or a blushing melon. Give me a full … Continue reading
Lime Coconut Chicken
Oh my! It’s been a week since my last post. And I’ve been planning this recipe the whole time. But I’ve been trying to think of something clever to say and I couldn’t think of a thing. When I finally made the dish, my youngest looked at the ingredients and wrinkled up her nose (the … Continue reading
Artisan Beer Cheese Fondue
I have been making the same cheese fondue for years. Loaded with Gruyere and Chardonnay, it brings the essence of Switzerland to the menu. But sometimes you just need to shake things up. I saw a recipe for beer cheese fondue recently and decided to give it a try—more or less. You see, I didn’t … Continue reading
Chicken & Avocado Salsa Sliders (Canned or Leftover Chicken!)
My middle daughter created this fun adaptation of a Martha Stewart recipe after requesting free reign to make lunch. Isn’t it nice when your kids want to cook! Martha’s spicy original was made with boneless chicken breast and served, sans bun, as an entrée; my daughter’s canned chicken, sandwich version takes on a more casual … Continue reading
Freezer Ham & Cheese Sliders (for the Desperately Busy)
It’s going to be a crazy week at our house. Our youngest is in final (read “longer”) rehearsals for the school play (along with a million lessons and um, school); the middle has added a two day Model UN event to two sports, dance and school. And our oldest—well thank goodness for college away! So … Continue reading
Whitefish in Dill Sauce
Fish is a delightful—and versatile—food . I first tried Whitefish in Dill Sauce at the Clearing in Ellison Bay, WI while attending a week long Photoshop Class that included a delicious daily lunch. This meal stood out, so when a local market had a sale on Lake Superior Whitefish, it was time to create my … Continue reading
Favorite Turkey Chili
Can you fall in love with a market? For me, it began [bleep] years ago with a high school English assignment. I chose the option to illustrate a song with photos and needed to find a merchant who would “roll his awning down” in a proxy Morning Morgantown. When morning comes to Morgantown, … Continue reading
Sloppy Chuck Sandwiches—All Natural & Easy!
Everyone can use a little help in the kitchen. In a pinch, even an Earth Mom like me may resort to those little packets of various-food-helper mix. But every time I buy one, I wince at the price, especially if the main ingredient is salt or flour. And don’t even mention the chemical ingredients I … Continue reading
Old Fashioned Stuffed Peppers (Better Than Mom’s)
The first frost hit southeastern Wisconsin last week. I really can’t complain. The rest of the state, unprotected by Lake Michigan, lost tender crops much earlier. As a last farewell to summer, I decided to stuff the final bell peppers (using some of my grass-fed beef) for a lovely welcome-to-fall dinner. My mother used to … Continue reading
