Food development efforts
Early during quarantine I decided that I really wanted to be able to fry particular thing like egg rolls, fish and dumplings. To make this possible I bought a pot with a basket for frying. As fourth of July neared I thought that it might be fun to make some hush puppies in the fryer. […]
A friend of mine has decided to go gluten and dairy free for an extended period of time. We normally meet up for lunch but going out right now stresses her budget and has meant her mostly eating salads when we’re out. So I decided I’d invite her to my house for lunch and make […]
I have a package of store bought gnocchi that has been sitting in my cupboard for a while that needed to be used. Tonight seemed like a good night to use it up since Tuesday is pretty much pasta night at our house. I also have quite a bit of sausage in my freezer that […]
Some nights I just want something relatively easy to make for dinner because I’m tired or because I have to take el nino (aka my son) to swimming lesson. Last night was one of those nights. The previous evening I’d planned on grilling steak but the weather didn’t cooperate. As a result I had a […]
I’ve made Pork Chile Verde before when I have the time to make the green sauce from scratch. However, sometimes I’m too busy or lazy to make the sauce and I really really want this dish. That prompted me to see if I could make a simple easy version of this. The answer is yes, […]
I’ve been terrible about posting for a while due to trying to cope with holiday stress. I did fortunately take lots of picture of my tasty food. So I have the start to several nice posts. That is if I can find the time to write them! This ham and mushroom quiche with warm spinach […]

[singlepic id=232 w=320 h=240 float=left] Last week while I was visiting my folks my mom asked me to make dinner one night. I decided to make something simple because I wanted to be able to spend the day visiting not cooking. What I chose to make was Grilled Garlic Basil Pork Chops and a Southwest […]
[singlepic id=227 w=320 h=240 float=left] Tonight I had intended to make breaded chicken breast and some grilled vegetables but after a very long work day I just wasn’t up for pounding and breading the chicken. So I decided I’d make Pasta Primavera with Chicken instead. One of the things I like about this type of […]
So one of my favorite things to make when I have a little extra time is Roasted Spatchcocked Chicken with Herbs. What herbs I use depends on what I have in my garden and at my disposal. [singlepic id=218 w=320 h=240 float=right] This year I have a plethora or herbs at my disposal including Basil […]
