When I was a newly wed, over 50 years ago, Tuna Noodle Casserole was all the rage. It was on repeat in my home. Somehow, over the years, I deleted it. That being said, there is nothing like a creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole to warm you and comfort you on […]
A Silver Tip Roast is cut from the shoulder of a cow. It is well marbled; and yet has less fat than a Rib Roast. Cooked properly, it is moist, tender and full of flavor. In addition, a Silver Tip is less expensive than a Rib Roast and very easy […]
Tomato Rice Soup is a basic comfort food. While, often, people think of Tomato Rice Soup being served along side a gooey grilled cheese sandwich; I give it more stature and serve it as a first course. This soup is simply based on a traditional “mirepoix”composed of sauteed diced carrots, […]
Turkey Burgers can be every bit as satisfying as their beef counterpart. My personal preference is white meat turkey which is less fatty than dark meat. In order to replace the moisture the fat provides, I add sauteed onion and celery plus cranberry sauce to the mixture. Grill the burgers […]

I grew up eating Halibut Salad. It was on our Thursday rotation of fish meals; but trust me, you can eat it any day of the week. This salad is perfect for a hot Summer’s lunch or afternoon snack. Halibut is a firm white fleshed fish that has a very […]
I love Chestnut Soup with Beer. I admit that I’ve always loved chestnuts. I remember when I was a child, we used to buy paper bags full of roasted chestnuts from vendors on the street. Holding the bag warmed your hands in Winter; and eating them warmed your tummy. This […]
This Roasted Vegetable Salad is an accidental and fortuitous creation. I had leftover roasted beets and butternut squash and didn’t want to serve them the same way the next day. I had roasted the squash with just a little salt, pepper and olive oil; and the beets in their skins. […]
