If you’re wondering what a Sloppy Tom is, you’re not the only one. Before I found this recipe in a collection aboard the USS Iowa, I had never heard of a Sloppy Tom. Turns out it’s just a Sloppy Joe made with ground turkey instead of ground beef. It’s just as good as the classic,… Continue reading Hatch Chile Sloppy Toms

Grilled Tuna with Parsley- Caper Sauce
I’ve talked before about how Hubs loves to fish. Some fishing trips have been fruitful, and some… not so much. He’s been on trips where he’s barely gotten a bite. But the last trip he went on, over Memorial Day, he came home with quite the haul. We had so much fish, we still have… Continue reading Grilled Tuna with Parsley- Caper Sauce
Grilled Marinated Halibut
Hubs likes to fish. He didn’t used to, but one of the dads on the block is a huge fisherman and has been taking the guys out a few times a year. So, Hubs joined the party and turned into quite the fisherman. Unfortunately that friend moved away, but as a good-bye, he took the… Continue reading Grilled Marinated Halibut
Chicken with Green Tomatoes and Peaches
My favorite season of the year is here: peach season. I feel like I’ve been waiting all year for peaches, nectarines and apricots to show up at my farmer’s market. Well, I’m happy to report that they’re finally here. There’s nothing better than a sweet, ripe peach, especially the yellow ones. I love eating them… Continue reading Chicken with Green Tomatoes and Peaches
Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza
The weather is so weird! Last weekend it was in the 60’s in the South Bay and the past couple days it’s been in the low to mid-90’s. I guess with no warning we’re officially into summer. And if there’s one thing I love about summer it means more cooking outside. And by cooking, I… Continue reading Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza
Shrimp Scampi Pasta Bake
I love food. Almost all food, in fact. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, there really isn’t a lot I won’t eat. Two of my (and my family’s) favorites are shrimp and pasta. We usually eat them separately, but every so often I’ll put the two together. The classic choice for a shrimp and pasta dish is… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Pasta Bake
Cedar Plank Miso Salmon
Did you know that this weekend is officially the start of summer? Okay, I know that summer officially starts June 21st, but a lot of people consider Memorial Day the beginning. It’s a three day weekend, people go away and there’s a lot of barbecuing. While barbecuing is becoming more and more of a year-round… Continue reading Cedar Plank Miso Salmon
Broccoli and Celery Pesto Pasta
As a mother of two very busy boys, I’m always on the lookout for easy dinner recipes. If those recipes can be on the table in 30 or 40 minutes, even better. One of my standard go-to’s is pasta. If there’s one thing I can always count on my picky eaters eating, it’s a pasta… Continue reading Broccoli and Celery Pesto Pasta
Roasted Garlic Chicken
One of my favorite food items is garlic. I just can’t get enough. I like it so much in fact, that whenever a recipe calls for a clove or two, I double it. Most recipes call for the garlic to be either minced or chopped, but every so often, there’s a recipe that roasts the… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Chicken
Cheesy Stuffed Shells
I love cheese! I don’t care if it’s hard, soft, or slices. It could be brie, gouda or feta, I love them all. I’ll have it plain right out of the fridge, melted on a sandwich or crumbled over salads. But one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheese is in a pasta dish. It… Continue reading Cheesy Stuffed Shells
Spiced-Lamb and Potato Pie
Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner everyone is seeing green. Shamrocks and leprechauns are in every store window. Corned beef, Guinness and Irish Whiskey are in all the stores and kids everywhere are working hard on their leprechaun traps. While corned beef and Guinness are obvious choices during the green holiday, I… Continue reading Spiced-Lamb and Potato Pie
