Happy Hanukkah!! Just when you think there can be no other ways to make potato latkes, along comes turmeric. Turmeric is a member of the ginger family with an orange-yellow color when dried and ground. I love turmeric and the color it imparts on food; these latkes are flavorful and beautifully golden.

Puffed Oven Pancake with Brown Sugar-Banana Sauce
If there aren’t enough other treats around, how about a breakfast treat? I always thought the baked pancakes would be a lot of work, but this was actually a lot less work for me than making batches of regular pancakes. And everyone was so impressed! Although my waistline won’t like it, this may become a…
Tis the Season for Recycling

Leftover Turkey Mole Tacos in the Slow Cooker
I am posting this now because we froze some of our Thanksgiving leftover turkey for use on days just like this. I have not felt like cooking since Thanksgiving – yes, almost 2 weeks! So, yesterday, I pulled two 2-cup bags of turkey out of the freezer into the fridge to defrost. At lunchtime today,…
Roasted Onions with Lemon
The Brussels sprouts may have been the biggest hit on our holiday table, but the surprise hit was roasted onions. Talk about easy, this was so simple.

Apple Pecan Crumb Top Pie
It had been way too long since I last made this pie (decades). It used to be a yearly occurrence. Every thanksgiving I would make this pie, sometimes with the assistance of a beautiful little helper. I am posting the recipe so that she will now have it to make with her beautiful little helpers….
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
I promised to share the good, the bad and the ugly…here is a recipe I tried that tasted fantastic, but I could not get it to look right no matter how I changed my technique. First, I thought the hole in my plastic bag was too big… Then, that the cinnamon filing was too liquid……
Orecchiette with Seared Cauliflower, Chicken and Greens
It is funny that some of my favorite dishes are created when I am trying to clean out either my refrigerator or my cabinet. This time I needed space in my refrigerator to prepare for Thanksgiving. What needed to go? half a cauliflower, half a bag of baby greens, and some chicken fingers that Cam…
Roasted Fall Vegetables with Pumpkin Seed Oil
It was a night when I needed to make a relatively fast dinner, but had no idea what I wanted to make. I stopped at one of the local farm markets and picked up a cauliflower; I decided I would do something with the cauliflower and some of the sweet potatoes from my garden….
