Quick and Easy Fish Tacos
Fish tacos are healthy and yummy, yet I had never made them before I saw one of those “Tasty” videos and decided to give it a try. I amped up the ingredients (the “Tasty” recipe looked simple but bland), kept the “easy,” and voila! Healthy Easy Yummy Fish Tacos. I used fresh Wahoo (also known…

Quick Creamy Polenta with Meat Sauce
If you’ve never had polenta, it starts out life as ground, dried corn. Similar (if not identical) to grits or cornmeal. You can buy it in a box, but most grocery stores sell it in pre-made tubes (sounds weird, but it’s a time saver) containing cornmeal, water, salt, a few vitamins. So they have precooked…

This yummy chicken dish, golden brown with a buttery, garlicky wine sauce, looks fancy but is super easy to throw together, about 30 minutes from start to finish, cooked on the stovetop. I served it with creamed cauliflower and peas (both from the freezer section at the grocery store, so super fast and easy!) for…

Ok, I thought I had posted the last soup recipe for the season! But we had ham for Easter, and I just had to try to make a ham and bean soup. So yummy! We had a Honeybaked Ham, and the bone in their “Mini-Ham” was just right to make a nice soup for six.…

SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW
This is the best beef stew I have ever made/tasted. I do not typically make pronouncements like this, but this is REALLY good beef stew! I scoured the internet for beef stew recipes but none sounded like what I was looking for. So I created my own recipe, with a few ideas borrowed from a…

Pozole – Mexican Soup
Brrrr … it’s a good day for hot soup. Pozole is a cousin of menudo, using pork butt instead of tripe. This version is not exactly traditional … it has pinto beans (cuz I like pinto beans!) and a mild tomato base rather than red chili pepper paste. It’s super easy with minimal prep…

Bubbling hot, creamy chunky chicken stew with islands of fluffy dumplings! The best on a cold winter’s night. If you are like me, there are those winter days that you feel like spending some serious kitchen time cooking up something satisfying and “warmy” (grandkids’ phrase). Put the beginnings of this delicious stew on the…
