Tomato, Goat Cheese & Onion Tart

This one is pure summer love and it isn’t even summer yet, but who cares! While flipping through a foodie magazine at the supermarket to stock up on some inspiration, I ran into this tomato and goat cheese pie. Brilliant idea! Just what I needed, light, colorful, summery and savory. Who can resist that? I borrowed the idea and gave it my spin. It’s simple and fast but I can…

    Cherry Coke & Jalapeño Meatballs

    Well, they’re actually cherry coke & jalapeño glazed meatballs, but that didn’t fit into the excerpt title on my landing page. Shrugs. These are my go to snack meatballs, but don’t let me stop you from having them for dinner. They’re spicy, I won’t lie. They’re not going to make your eyes tear up or pop out of their sockets, but they’ll definitely get a ‘Whoa baby!’ if you do it…

      Potato, Corn & Chicken Soup

      Just as things started to warm up around here, another round of cold winter weather set in putting us back at square one. Not a place I really enjoy dealing with again. Time for soup. Soul-warming soup. One of my favorite soups in the world is potato soup (with onion and garlic. Surprise!). But to be honest, anything containing even the slightest hint of potato is favorite in my book. This…

        Cheddar and Jalapeño Spirals

        This isn’t really a recipe, it’s just a quick variation to an older snack recipe I posted about two years ago: my simple Parmesan Twists. I usually prepare a whole batch of these because they’re not only delicious but especially simple and rather cheap. I posted my Cheese & Onion Butterflies the year after. I was craving a snack. Something. Anything. The only thing in my freezer were a few…

          Country-Style Green Beans

          Here’s an oldie. Really old. The photos clearly show it was shot with one of my first cameras. Without a tripod, on a dark winter day with a terrible color balance. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere! (just covering my butt here). I just didn’t have time to reshoot the recipe. Anyway, it’s a special thanksgiving recipe that I made for a guest posting a couple years ago. It wasn’t meant…

            Autumn Salad

            Last year I posted my summer salad. Had no idea what a popular recipe it would become! In that light I guess it only makes sense for me to post an autumn salad as well. I labeled this one: “My new best salad” because I’m totally smitten with it. Not sure what that says about me. Maybe something about my unhealthy relationship with food? Hush. It was a rhetoric question….
