Making a pie crust from ginger snaps is so much easier than rolling out a pastry crust! This is the perfect crust for a mild filling that doesn’t have to be baked. I use it for my Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. The spiciness and crispiness of the crust provides the perfect […]

Chicken with Capers and Almonds
This recipe for Chicken with Capers and Almonds is built on layers of flavor from many different elements. Your first bite tells you that this is a soft chicken recipe. As the pieces of chicken are simmering, they absorb the sweetness of carrots and orange juice along with the tang […]
Brown Rice with Zucchini and Onions
Brown Rice with Zucchini and Onions goes under the heading of comfort food. My adult son had about two cups of it for lunch and asked for more. He was out of luck! The family had gotten there before him and eaten most of it. Zucchini and onions add richness […]
Rice Stuffing with Pearl Onions and Dried Fruit
Tired of bread stuffing, make this Rice Stuffing with Pearl Onions and Dried Fruit instead of-or in addition to your bread stuffing. I use this vegan and gluten free stuffing with turkey, Cornish hens or just as a side dish with roast chicken or even fish. You can play around […]
