I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great celebration and while we’re still in the throws of Thanksgiving leftovers, if you’re looking for something different this is a great flavorful but light soup. This also freezes great, so you can make a lot and save the rest for a rainy day.Read more
I made this dish for Tuesday’s School of Christian Living. It was a big hit. This comes by way of another church lady, but she got it from Sheila Lukins’ All Around the World Cookbook. There are no bananas, leaves or banana leaves in this curry, so I’m not sure where the name comes from…mightRead more
I love Indian food. But I’ve been rather intimidated to try making it at home. I finally got over my fear, and tried several recipes for a culinary adventure! This dish came out really well, and actually came together pretty quickly. I’d recommend having everything ready to go before you start so you can justRead more
I didn’t used to like tomatoes, but growing up with the One Bite Rule I was instilled at an early age with a standard of trying things repeatedly. And fortunately over the years I learned how wrong I was not to like tomatoes. So when I saw this Tomato Cobbler I thought it would beRead more
This recipe is a trusty stand-by. I’ve made it several times in the past and it continues to be a delicious fall soup. It’s hearty and chunky and keeps well so you can make it in advance if necessary. Fortunately it doesn’t take long to cook either, so it’s perfect for a week night dinnerRead more

So here are a couple of things I put together. If you have lunch ideas, pass them my way! Also,Read more
This lasagna was amazing! The recipe comes from a family from my church who sends a favorite recipe in their Christmas letter each year. While this recipe is from their 2007 letter, better late than never! I don’t recommend waiting 5 years before you try it though! It’s perfect for this time of year whereRead more
While apple picking the other day, we discovered an intriguing new-to-me squash. It looked like a blue-gray pumpkin. Feeling adventurous, we got a small one to try out. And despite the heat, I whipped up this creamy soup for dinner. This is a really easy way to make a soup. Everything gets roasted together onRead more
Yum. I tore this recipe from a magazine in 2010. I apparently made it that fall, loved it, stuck it in a binder with tons of other recipes waiting for their chance to be tried, and forgot about it. I made it again this week. WHY OH WHY did I wait SO long??? It’s easyRead more
For Tuesday’s dinner I decided to try making vegetarian Sloppy Joes. This was pretty challenging to get the right flavor without the flavor that the meat usually brings to the dish. But I think I created something pretty close. Sloppy Veggie Joes Serves 15-20 Adapted from Rachael Ray 1 Tbsp olive oil 3 bell peppers,Read more
