Chicken, Olive, Orange, and Rye Bread Tray Bake
Really Really Good. And So Easy! Tray bake, sheet pan meal, single pan dinner. Whatever you call them, if you cook, you probably have at least a couple of these easy meals on standby for when you’re short on time and energy, or just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. I’ve been […]
Pear and Cranberry Slice
Who Doesn’t Love a Simple and Comforting Slice of Something Delicious? I’m fully aware that I’m very late to this particular game, but I’ve somehow managed to live this long without being aware of a dessert called a Slice. My good friend, Elizabeth Le Grice, mentioned that she had baked an Apple Slice. I asked […]
Olive Oil Cake with Cherries and Cacao Nibs
A Super Easy One-Bowl Cake That Delivers Big Time! I love a good olive oil cake and have made quite a few – some much better than others. I made one from a recipe online a few weeks ago that I thought had great potential, but it didn’t pan out. I decided it was time […]

Roasted Radicchio, Beet, and Blood Orange Salad
Quickly Broiled Radicchio Wedges are a Surprise Ingredient! I’ve been making a lot of winter salads lately. The apples and pears are so good now. But it’s the citrus I love most. No surprise there for my followers. And of course citrus and beets are a classic combination for a reason. The acid in oranges […]
Pork and Black Garlic Dumplings
Homemade Dumplings – So Much Better Than Store Bought. When it comes to dumplings, I’m a fan of most all I’ve ever tasted. Some are better than others, but when it comes to putting together a quick meal, nothing is faster than having a pre-made bag of frozen dumplings on hand. As handy as those […]
Shrimp in Spicy Tomato Orange Sauce
Quick and Easy, but Packs an Explosion of Flavor. I got to thinking about shrimp fra diavolo. When it’s good, it’s really good, but I’ve had more than my share of mediocre renditions. So, I set about making a shrimp dish with that recipe in mind, but ended up going off on a completely different […]
Lamb Kebabs on Beet Flatbreads
Skewers of Lamb Served on Top of Flatbreads is Never a Bad Thing. I made my Beet Flatbreads with Pomegranate Raita and served them with lamb kebabs. I love skewering meats. Something about it just makes it so much more fun to eat rather than simply slicing up a leg of lamb. I’ve been hooked […]

Brothy Beans with ‘Nduja and Orange
Nothing At All Boring About This Pot of Beans. Brothy beans. I just love the sound of that. Good beans in a really good broth. That’s all there is to it. And yet, it can be so boring if some care isn’t put into making it. Let’s start with the beans. I thought it would […]
