Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
My friend brought this dish over for dinner last week and I keep thinking about it. I love the simplicity of the recipe, but the number of steps makes it really special, and the fact that she took the time to make this for us is so kind. Chicken Picatta 2 lbs chicken breasts, pounded... Continue Reading →
Recently I read an article about a way to improve communication that seems so simple but is really profound. The next time you are sharing a table with several people, agree to not break off into smaller sub-groups. You don't need to make a proclamation about it, just see if you can steer the...

Five years ago I attended a cooking class with a friend and this dish was on the menu. Since then it has become a family favorite because of it's deep flavor and ease in preparing. The trickiest part is finding Asian chili paste, I ordered it from Amazon when my local store stopped carrying it.... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe in my latest Bon Appetit magazine, looked through the ingredients and determined I only needed to purchase eggplants and went for it! Unfortunately, I didn't read the recipe closely and the whole thing took close to three hours to get to the table. Halfway through the job, I decided it wasn't worth... Continue Reading →
We have so much swiss chard in the garden these days! I planted five plants and expected it to act like lettuce did last year, one big return and that was it, but this stuff is hearty and keeps replenishing every couple of days. I found a cookbook called Jerusalem last week that has beautiful... Continue Reading →

This is a quick one to put together, start the sauce first because the 'pasta' takes five minutes! In the summer months I don't really even... Continue Reading →

I found the original recipe here http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/08/warm-baked-goat-cheese/ I like that there are very few specific details, just do what you like. When you serve the goat cheese with raspberries and balsamic, the combination is delicious. I have also done this... Continue Reading →
I follow a food blog called Kevin and Amanda's Recipes and they have some unusual twists on good food. I made this recipe for a small group, doubled it for about 20 people, not one burger was left at the end of the night, and several people asked me for the recipe. Party Cheeseburgers 1...

Recently my daughter had a friend over to our house and he had dinner with our family. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this meal, but he remarked to our daughter that it was very different from what he was used to. I'm not sure what he meant but the comment made me... Continue Reading →
My friend Kristy and I discovered this pizza at Mellow Mushroom somewhere in Georgia a few years ago. She loves caesar salads and I like anything different, so we had to try it. Apparently it is not available at all Mellow Mushrooms, only those who have met certain quotas and such. It doesn't matter to... Continue Reading →
