Taco Skillet

2019-12-15T13:58:35-06:00

My husband sent this recipe to me because he thought it looked interesting and I agreed with him. As usual, I saw plenty of things in the list of ingredients to tinker with. First off, the jalepenos and avocado were out; neither would go over very well with this family. To make up for [...]

CPS Strike Chowder

2019-11-11T12:16:21-06:00

This recipe was born out of the frustration of the Chicago Public School strike of 2019. It went on far longer than anticipated, and we got a bit of cabin fever while it wore on. I decided chew up some time by throwing together a new recipe that I'd had floating around in my [...]

Lasagna Rolls

2019-10-15T08:48:41-05:00

Looking for something that would be easy to make on a weeknight and provide some leftovers this is a good option. For my cheese adverse daughter I omitted the ricotta filling and just used sausage for a few of the rolls. Prep time – 20 minutes / Cook time – 50 minutes [...]

Baked Bacon

2019-10-15T08:55:33-05:00

I don't remember where I got this tip, but it's definitely my preferred way to make bacon. Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil, add a baking rack and lay the bacon on the rack in evenly spaced rows. Put the oven at 375 for 15-18 minutes and you'll end up with bacon that tastes a [...]

2019-10-09T16:53:28-05:00

Bread Salad

2019-09-29T13:19:45-05:00

I don't know what made me decide to put this group of ingredients together one day. But I do know that it's become a favorite for both me and my husband as a lunchtime snack. The bread is nice and crispy and pairs well with the softer and less strong tastes the fresh mozzarella [...]

Pistachio Chicken

2019-09-21T16:00:42-05:00

The combination of pistachios and chicken might sound odd to some people, but it's delicious trust me! As an added bonus, recruit a family member to help shell the pistachios or even quicker, buy them already shelled. Once that step is done, it's really just a fairly quick and easy weeknight dinner. [...]

Chicken Rollatini

2019-09-21T15:44:28-05:00

My favorite foods are always associated with a time or person in my life. In this case, Chicken Rollatini was a favorite of my Aunt Gerri, who was really a "great aunt" but was just Aunt Gerri to me. She made this from time to time and I've added it to my repertoire of [...]
