We eat a lot of pasta in our house, because it is quick and the kids like it. The standard tuna with noodle casserole is too heavy for me, but this one is less creamy and has more vegetables. The other thing I like about this recipe is that I almost always have the ingredients […]
Pomegranate Pork Tenderloin
I made this last week based on a recipe at allrecipes.com, my favorite online site for getting recipes. I had to change it up because we were out of some of the ingredients, but it turned out pretty good. The sauce made a nice addition to the meal, since pork can get kind of […]
Clam and Corn Chowder Recipe
Late we have been having lots of soups, they just seem to go well this time of year. This is a recipe for a typical clam chowder, but with corn added in. I like the corn since it adds another taste to the chowder and makes it unique.
Butternut Squash Soup
I made this for dinner on Halloween and it was delicious. I’m not a huge squash fan, so I like it when recipes add extra flavors so the squash flavor isn’t too overwhelming. We served this with pumpkin bread and it was an excellent and seasonal Halloween meal.

My oldest daughter is a senior in high school this year, and we have been doing college visits almost every week this fall. Two weeks ago we stopped at The Olive Garden to eat after a college visit and I had Zuppa Toscana soup and loved it. I can’t believe I’ve never had this soup […]
Crab Cake Recipe
If you read my post about our fun crabbing last week it makes sense I’d post our crab cake recipe. I was born and raised in Maryland, so my favorite crab cakes are Maryland lump crab cakes with very few added ingredients. One thing we did discover last week was that if you are picking […]
Pasta with Zucchini Recipe
This time of year there is always an abundance of zucchini, and this is one of my favorite ways to cook it. If you want to make it vegetarian it is easy to leave out the bacon and saute the zucchini in olive oil instead. I wouldn’t say the kids love this meal, but they […]
Garlic Shrimp Skewer
This is a great summer recipe for the grilling. My kids enjoy anything cooked on a stick!
Sesame Stir Fried Beef
This is a simple stir fry. It is easy to vary the veggies or the meat based on your family’s preferences, but this is one of my family’s favorite. I’ve found the two things that make my stir fries turn out better are pre-heating the pan and only adding one ingredient at a time so […]
