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…
Pesto Bean Dip
Healthy and yummy snacking- my favorite combination. I love beans and I love pesto, but I never had combined them until I tried this recipe from Mollie Katzen’s Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook. I used canned organic navy beans and pesto made from the garden. See my pesto post. Since you can make the petso…
Turkey Bolognese – Thanksgiving Leftovers #3
Take leftover turkey, a bunch of veggies, and mix it into my homemade spaghetti sauce and you get a totally new meal – Turkey Bolognese. It is a shame to call this a “leftover” meal, since I would almost make the turkey just to be able to make this! It is a shame I made…
Mashed Potato Latkes – Thanksgiving Leftovers #2
What to do with leftover mashed potatoes? Well that is a no-brainer…potato pancakes/latkes! Making the mashed potato latkes gave me the chance to decide whether I want to do those, or grated potato latkes for our Hanukah party. I like both, so I am still not sure which I will do. We are having an…
Turkey Fried Rice – Thanksgiving Leftovers #1
For some unknown reason, we ended up with a 20 pound bird for 5 people. A little crazy, yes. But it means I will need to get creative in my use of leftover turkey meat; some will get frozen for later use. One of my daughters would love for us to eat Chinese food for…
Skyline Apple Muffins
With the family home for Thanksgiving break, it was time to make some treats to have for other meals. The first were apple muffins to start off Thanksgiving Day. These muffins come from a recipe I got from a bed and breakfast in Edenton, NC more years ago than I like to remember. The B…

What better to do for Thanksgiving than to say “thank you”! I big thank you to Shannon at MoveEatCreate for nominating the blog for a Sunshine Award! It is so nice to know that what I am posting is useful, I so enjoy doing it. The etiquette for the nomination is to provide a link…
