Our four year old took a bite of this turkey patty and said, “Mmmmmmm, I like this!” He asked to eat turkey burgers each of the next three nights. That’s good enough for me! Ingredients 16-20 ozs ground turkey 1 egg Bread crumbs (I like Panko bread crumbs) Butter Water Preparation Combine the turkey, egg, … Continue reading

Roasted Chicken with Rosemary Breadcrumbs
I was in a pickle tonight – this happens to me pretty often. I wasn’t able to make the meal I’d planned because I didn’t allow enough defrost time. It’s usually that or I thought I had an ingredient I needed, but it turned out I didn’t. I threw this together and it was a … Continue reading
Pork Chops with Savory Apple Compote
I got the October issue of Food and Wine and was inspired to make the Savory Apple Compote with the apples I had from the apple orchard and also use some of the herbs in the garden before it freezes. I thought it would go well with pork chops, and it did! Ingredients: Chops 4 … Continue reading
Grandma Jane’s pancakes, bacon, and applesauce
I don’t think I’ll ever make another pancake recipe. First of all, they’re Grandma Jane’s. Second, they’re delicious! My extended family has this most weekends when we’re together for breakfast but my family eats it for dinner, too! Honestly, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner? I double this recipe. It’s more food than our family … Continue reading
Rice bowls

Let each family member pick out what they have in their bowl. Don’t like black beans? No problem! Eat some peas instead, kiddo. (That happened at my house last … Continue reading

When you can do it without having to buy some obscure ingredient or cooking utensil, it’s even better! Twice, I’ve prepped this between the kids’ evening activities. That way, all I had to do … Continue reading
Orzo with chicken and broccoli
I’ve had this dish three times in the last month. The first time was when a friend made it for a playdate. I’ve made it twice more on my own because I. LOVE. IT. It’s easy, fast, delicious, and it has already passed the “all-ages” test. Veggies, carbs, and protein are all included in the … Continue reading
Potato Leek Soup
It seems like as soon as we have our first day below 60 degrees I go into winter survival mode. Must stock the freezer! Must make sure everyone has hat, boots, mittens and snow suits that fit! Ahhhhh! This soup was my first step into crazy winter survival mode. I like a few things about … Continue reading
