Pork Dumplings–Yum 😋

February 23, 2022March 2, 2022 Barbara

I guess I waited a long time to try making dumplings, but you can’t find dumpling wrappers in this backward town. I finally ordered them from Amazon, which required express shipping because the post office can’t be trusted anymore (that … Continue reading Pork Dumplings–Yum 😋

Fancy Scalloped Potatoes

January 30, 2021March 20, 2021 Barbara

Who knew that just by putting sliced potatoes on end you’d turn an old-fashioned, homey side into the glamorous center of your table. I made these scalloped potatoes with only a few changes: I used red potatoes, sliced with the … Continue reading Fancy Scalloped Potatoes

Roasted Garden Panzanella Pasta

August 11, 2017June 24, 2018 Barbara

I tried to get the essentials into the title—roasting, garden harvest, classic panzanella, and pasta. From the garden, I’m roasting tomatoes and green beans. My husband doesn’t care for tomatoes, but he tends the garden—sometimes you have to eat what … Continue reading Roasted Garden Panzanella Pasta

Ricotta-Velveeta® Mac ‘n Cheese

June 26, 2017December 28, 2021 Barbara

You can never have too many mac and cheese recipes. Sometimes you might be in the mood for a sharp cheddar or a nutty Gruyere or even a little blue, but you just about always want a creamy texture, not … Continue reading Ricotta-Velveeta® Mac ‘n Cheese

Penne, Peas, and Ricotta

June 11, 2017 Barbara

A dish for two, unless one of those two has lactose intolerance, in which case I get to eat it twice. To make a sauce, half the ricotta and peas are pulsed in a food processor until green and creamy. … Continue reading Penne, Peas, and Ricotta

Taco Meatballs and Black Bean Spaghetti

May 20, 2017 Barbara

My taco meatballs are made with venison and pork, but you could substitute your favorite meatball ingredients. It all started with a box of black bean spaghetti, which is made with nothing but black beans. I’m always looking for ways … Continue reading Taco Meatballs and Black Bean Spaghetti

Mexican Venison Chorizo and Potato Tacos

May 13, 2017 Barbara

Even though we still occasionally eat cheese, with the help of those lactase pills, I don’t use it as much anymore, looking for ways to eat the kinds of things we like without it. I had some venison chorizo in … Continue reading Mexican Venison Chorizo and Potato Tacos

Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder and Sweet Potato Hash

January 30, 2017June 26, 2018 Barbara

A snowy cold January Sunday seemed like a good day to have the oven on for eight hours. I usually make pulled pork in a slow-cooker (about 5-6 hours on high), but was in the mood for some crispy pork … Continue reading Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder and Sweet Potato Hash

White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

September 9, 2016October 29, 2016 Barbara

I’m reluctant to call this dish chili, even though I know lots of people do just because it’s a combination of beans and meat. I think it’s a stretch, though, and like so many other dishes, I wish some inventive … Continue reading White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Brown Rice Pudding, Low-Sugar, Lactose-Free

June 26, 2016October 29, 2016 Barbara

There are so many things you can do with a batch of rice pudding, sort of like topping a sundae. Just set out lots of options—nuts, dried or fresh fruit, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, M&Ms, whatever might appeal to your … Continue reading Slow Cooker Brown Rice Pudding, Low-Sugar, Lactose-Free

Baked Rice with Roasted Pepper Sauce

June 6, 2016 Barbara

This sauce is a nice change from tomato sauce—actually, we hardly ever eat tomato sauce, but we’re not normal. The roasted pepper sauce is mild and sweet, but if your peppers are red, you might just fool your family into … Continue reading Baked Rice with Roasted Pepper Sauce

Dishing Out the Holiday Food

May 29, 2016February 11, 2020 Barbara

First, I have a hard time calling Memorial Day a holiday, having had a parent die in a war, but while it’s not all fireworks and getting drunk around here, I do make food like I would make for any … Continue reading Dishing Out the Holiday Food
