If you’ve ever made eggplant parmesan before, you know that it’s a time-consuming dish to prepare. It’s not a meal that you want to prepare, if you don’t have a lot of time on hand. In making this dish, you definitely need a system in place for each step in the process — even before […]
MoreThere are two things in life that I enjoy: Middle-Eastern dishes and one-pot meals. And, what better way to enjoy these simple, life pleasures together, than in a Moroccan Lentil Soup! What I love most about Middle-Eastern dishes are the aromatic spices that seem to transport you to a faraway place, with every bite. I […]
MoreFor those of you, who are not familiar with ratatouille, it’s simply a stewed vegetable dish, using eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and herbs. Though known to have originated in southern France, this dish is very popular in Greek and Mediterranean cuisines. I particularly like this dish because it’s easy to prepare, healthy, […]
MoreFor awhile now, I’ve wanted to prepare chicken piccata. I ordered this dish a few times, while eating out, and loved the lemony flavor with the breaded chicken. This is a simple dish, which I could’ve prepared without a recipe, but I chose to use and modify the recipes from Food Network’s Ina Garten and […]
MoreWhat’s not to like about a sweet, juicy peach. But, combine peaches with succulent, grilled chicken and a tangy bbq sauce — now, you’ve got a winning meal for Sunday dinner!

MoreI absolutely love Mediterranean cuisine! But, what’s not to love about this cuisine: it’s flavorful and healthy. Since I’m in no mood to cook a time-consuming meal during the week, I wait until I have more time on the weekends to prepare a meal like the one below. Not too long ago, I wanted to […]
MoreIf you’re anything like me, you probably don’t want to hear anything about turkey, and glad that Thanksgiving is over, and that the dang turkey is gone. Though we’ve salvaged all the white and dark meat possible, and thrown away the carcass, we still have to appreciate the after-Thanksgiving meals we created from that wonderful […]
MoreNow that fall has arrived, it’s officially soup season, which is a perfect time for the one pot meals. If you’re like me, you’re already bringing out the crock pot, from its dark, storage place, or taking inventory of your collection of stockpots. Soup is the quintessential fall comfort food. Nothing says “Welcome Home,” or […]
MoreAfter 30-something years of preparing Sunday dinners, there are times when I get tired of cooking the same meals. But, I never grow tired of making spaghetti. Heck, who doesn’t love spaghetti.
