Scones for breakfast is probably one of my favorite things (food-wise). One of the problems I usually find with baking in the morning is that I wake up really hungry and the time it usually takes to prepare and bake is a real turn off for me. The beauty of these scones was that it…

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese
Who doesn’t love butternut squash? But I have to say that the squash that comes out of my garden is so much more flavorful that what you get in the store, there really is no comparison. If you can’t grow your own, try to get it from a farm market or farmer’s market, it will…
My first guest blogging – Spaghetti Squash with Honey and Feta
Check out my guest blog on Spaghetti Squash with Honey & Feta on Rantings of an Amateur Chef. I am very excited about doing my first guest blog. While you are there, check out the rest of Pat’s site, it is a fun one with lots of good recipes; it is one of the sites…
Turkey Chili in the Slow Cooker
After Thanksgiving, I was turkeyed out. It had been 5 straight days of turkey meat for this family that eats vegetarian over 80% of the time. There was one last 1-pound bag of turkey in the fridge, but I really did not want to eat turkey again. So, I wanted to make a dish I…
Turkey Bacon & Tomato Pasta
I just have to share this picture I took while I was out for my before-train walk this morning. It was a foggy morning, and the sun was just starting to break through as I walked along the Christina River. This is one of my favorite spots along the river, a little enclave with this…
Lemon Pepper Tuna Kuku (Persian Omelet)
Comfort food! Tuna kuku is a comfort food. It is one of those simple foods that just makes me feel good to eat. It starts with some good eggs (and Farmer Kim had brought by eggs over the weekend). When I saw the pouch of lemon pepper tuna in my pantry, I decided to build a…
Spinach, Potato & Feta Latkes
I was not going to blog about these since I was only making them for the first time, but something told me to take pictures just in case. This is an adaptation of the recipe for “spanolatkes” from the restaurant Estia in Philadelphia. I found it in Food Network magazine and could not resist adding…
Cammy’s Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cammy woke up wanting cookies. I don’t remember him ever asking for cookies, but today, that was what he wanted. Problem was, we did not have any cookies in the house, so we needed to make some. After a bit of debate (seems like everything with my 3 year old is a debate), he and…
Potato Latkes
Happy Hanukkah! As I have mentioned before, I have a tendency to become obsessed with cooking with one food or one type of food. So, for Hanukkah this year, my focus has become latkes. I have plans for different types of latkes every day – potato, sweet potato, spinach & feta, carrot & zucchini and…
Chicken and Broccoli Ramen
I love ramen noodles, but do not like the amount of sodium in packaged ramen. But the curly, twisty texture of the noodles is hard to resist. So, why not make it at home with my own sauce. Ramen, as a convenience food, feels like it should be a dish made with whatever is in…
