Pecan Cheese Cake Pie

Do you have pies on your mind, like I do? I think about pies and other baked goods in the weeks before any holiday. Even though I try to think of something very new, I often end up making the same stand-bys again and again. There is nothing wrong with making an old favorite, but… Continue reading →

Sausage and Vegetable Soup

This week I organized my freezer to see what I have on hand so I can make a meal plan for the week. In exploring the bottom of my freezer I discovered several different types of sausage that I had bought some time ago and never got around to using. I found kielbasa, andouille, and… Continue reading →

Ham and Potato Soup

I love cruising grocery stores and finding things I haven’t noticed before. A couple days ago I was walking in the deli section and noticed some small packages of cooked ham that were only about one pound each. This seemed a super-convenient size for making different meals during the week. Once I bought a couple… Continue reading →

When I was working for the university I used to create many soup recipes for use in the fall and winter. We went through vast quantities of soup as it was consistently a popular entrée. Every day we offered multiple soups especially as we needed to cater to students who may be vegan, vegetarian, or… Continue reading →

This week is all about cooking quick and easy meals in our house. I made Mapo Tofu recently where I used only half a pound of pork. I had another half pound to play around with. I thought of many things to make but settled for pork fried rice. It’s simple to make and easy… Continue reading →

Begun Bhaji (Fried Eggplant)

I love eggplant for its delicious taste and smooth and velvety texture. It doesn’t hurt that it’s healthy too. Growing up, my Mom used eggplant in many dishes. She would either deep fry it in a chick pea flour batter, stir fry it, or pan fry it in a skillet. The pan-fried version of this… Continue reading →

Chai tea muffin

One of my favorite drinks is chai tea, which I think tastes like nothing else. It is amazing to me how dramatically the taste of black tea changes once you add spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and star anise.

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

I love a good fried chicken sandwich once in awhile. To me the chicken needs to be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the buns need to be toasty while the condiments are fresh and evenly distributed. It is no surprise that fast food restaurants often fail in one of these areas,… Continue reading →

Honey butter chicken biscuit (Whataburger)

Have you ever heard of a “honey butter chicken biscuit”? Apparently it is a thing at some restaurants. My son came across this recipe and asked me to make it. I watched the video and thought “hmm … too complicated”. But I decided to give it a try, because the sandwich does look good!
