Fudge-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies

I am so excited for this recipe because I think I’ve hit upon something truly new. Although I love to cook from scratch, sometimes it pays to “cheat” a little and use a premade ingredient from the store. The secret ingredient of these awesome cookies is Hersey’s hot fudge topping. This comes only in a… Continue reading →

Sweet and Spicy Turkey Burger

Most of us crave a burger once in a while. I like creating new types of burgers at home. Recently I saw that Bon Appétit magazine is sponsoring a blended burger recipe contest. The rule is to incorporate mushrooms into the patty. This sounded like a delightful challenge to me.

Stir Fry Pork with Cabbage

I usually have some sort of cabbage in my refrigerator. You can do a lot with a head of cabbage, like make crunchy cole slaw, a soup, salad, or a stir-fry. This week I have decided to use the cabbage in a stir-fry.

Fried rice is one of those dishes that you can make in no time if you have some leftover rice in your refrigerator. You can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want. I don’t know about you but I like to eat rice pretty much every day, maybe because I grew up… Continue reading →

Mapo Tofu (Tofu with Pork)

A dear friend brought me a jar of Trader Joe’s Chili Onion Crunch seasoning a couple months ago. This interesting concoction is great to drizzle over rice, egg, and vegetable dishes. It has a mild but delicious combination of spices. I thought this would add a really nice flavor to a Chinese dish I like called… Continue reading →

Red Curry with Tofu

It has been hot outside recently so I’ve been cooking meals that don’t require me to turn the oven or stove on. I’ve made lots of salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup

When I grew up there was a different set of vegetables and fruits for each season. A favorite season of mine was when the cauliflower were ready. We ate it in many different ways. Although cauliflower is probably no one’s favorite vegetable, it can be terrific with the right combination of spices and cooking methods.

Curried Asparagus Soup

One of the spring vegetables I really like is asparagus. I also really like curry, which is basically a combination of spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, fennel, cinnamon, cloves, and chili. I’ve been making a lot of soups lately, as my family just really likes that style of meal. It’s also less work quite honestly.… Continue reading →

It is hard to come up with interesting and tasty recipes sometimes. It’s like hitting writer’s block. In that case I ask my teenage son what type of recipe would be interesting. He likes things with sauces and so we have been trying to perfect a truffle honey mustard sauce recipe he saw. There wasn’t… Continue reading →

My family likes to eat sandwiches and salads that are both healthy and flavorful. We don’t really get excited by standard salad dressings from the store. My son and I like to come up with a sauce or salad dressing according to what other ingredients we happen to be using on a given day. For… Continue reading →

Brownie Bites with Peanut Frosting

My house has a pretty decent sized pantry. It’s both a curse and a blessing. I buy lots of stuff and usually forget about them. I’ve decided to organize it once a month. I don’t want things to expire on me! Since it was that time of the month, I was rummaging around my pantry… Continue reading →
