Dinner in a pumpkin: Halloween fun!
Yes, this pumpkin looks a little scary. Fact is, he’s been roasted whole. I started making “Dinner in a Pumpkin” many years ago when my kids were tiny. Then it became a tradition. My kids think this is what MUST be done before they head out trick or treating. It has become a tradition. I […]
Seeded Pork Roast
September 25, 2011
I like to take it easy on Sundays when I can. It doesn’t always work out that way, but armed with my trusty crock pot I can often pull it off. There is just something amazing about coming home from church and smelling the delicious aroma of dinner nearly done. Roast and potatoes are the […]

September 13, 2011
I have tried many,many meatball recipes. Porcupine meatballs, Swedish meatballs, and a plethora or Italian meatballs.

It’s getting to be that time of year again! I love when the weather changes gets a cooler at night and a touch frosty in the morning, but still warm during the day. If we are lucky, we get that through October. Perfect season to start making soups and stews again. Here is my take […]

Chicken Makhani
August 26, 2011
I had this dish recently at our favorite Indian restaurant. So creamy and delicious! Papachef looked and looked for a recipe; the ones he found just didn’t sound right or were so complicated they could not be easily replicated by someone at home. So he combined several recipes and tweaked what he had to come […]

So, Merushka sets a beautiful table, we make a nice dinner with as many things cooked in advance as possible, […]
Crockpot Italian Stew
August 14, 2011
We are so busy some evenings! It seems this semester we are rarely home at the same time for dinner. Some nights our best bet is to leave something simmering in the crockpot, and allow everyone to help themselves as they come in the door. Not my favorite meal time tradition, but at least this […]
