Just writing out the title to this post makes me, well, a bit weepy eyed and nostalgic. You are probably thinking that perhaps these crispy, cheesy, crunchy bites of yumminess brought back fond memories of my childhood. Or that I have a *thing* for mashed potatoes. Nope. On both counts. The truth – are you…… Continue reading Mashed Potato Waffles
Artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables, and for years I’ve cooked them the same way – in a triple deck steamer that I’ve had forever. Strange – now that I think about it, it’s the only appliance that has lasted more than a few years with me ….. and we are NOT going to…… Continue reading Instant Pot Steamed Artichokes

What am I saying?…… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Quinoa Casserole
Just when you thought it was safe to wear short sleeves….. Seriously, what’s up with this weather? Yesterday it was 83 degrees and picture perfect. Today, the wind is blasting and the temperature is 58. Tomorrow the forecast is 81 and calm. And I’m accused of being fickle? Sheeeeesh…… Anyhoo, this lasagna, although unusual, was…… Continue reading Brussels Sprouts Lasagna
There’s nothing quite like waking up on a beautiful, sunshine-filled Sunday morning with a debilitating migraine. True story. I only just started to feel human again about an hour ago, thanks to two doses of Alleve, one Excedrin Migraine pill, two strong cups of coffee, one hot shower, and a whole lotta hanging on the edge…… Continue reading Waffle Iron Hash Browns
