I grew up eating a lot of canned soup. My mom would make occasional pots of beef stew or chili for my dad, who is a much bigger fan of soup than my mom. But mostly, there was a lot of Cambell’s in our house. Then, someone gave my mom a device called a Rocket …

Tostones
Tostones are unripened plantains that are twice fried. They are amazing! I used to work in a Caribbean restaurant for about 3 years. It was called Macondo’s and was named after the fictional town in A Hundred Years of Solitude, which is one of my favorite books. Macondo’s was run by a couple. She was …
Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of the standard comfort foods, especially in this time of staying home. I think it’s one of the dishes I’ve seen most people post about making at least once. I know that I’m never good about using up all of the bananas in a bunch. I buy them with the best …
Garlic Goddess Cheese Pie
I love garlic!! I had been taking the Garlic Lovers Cookbooks out of my local library every once in a while for years. These are cookbooks that come from the Gilroy Garlic Festival. And then….I found my very own copy of one of them!! So, yes, I have many garlic laced recipes. And this cheese …

Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

This is one of those recipes that doesn’t really have a recipe. Here is a picture of the ingredients: So, you’ll need …
Citrus-based Stir Fry
Stir fry is an easy way to use whatever hardy vegetables you have lying around. If you don’t have fresh veg, you can use frozen. You can add meat or tofu or shrimp. Making a simple citrus-based sauce is not that difficult. Yes, I used a couple of ingredients that most people might not keep …
Zuppa Romana: An Easy, Adaptable Slow Cooker Soup
I love how easy slow cookers are. Do a little browning of meat, a little chopping of veg, a little adding of spices, throw it in the pot, and wait. Hours of free yummy scents! Then an amazing meal! I also love soup, not the least because a recipe is more of a guideline. I’ll …

Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins are a classic comfort food. I grew up making muffins at least every few weeks. A basic muffin recipe was probably the first recipe I ever memorized, and it happened to be the same one we used in my 6th grade home ec class! While that was a versatile recipe that worked with …
Pizza Quiche
Do you ever have one of those days when you want breakfast, but you also want pizza? This is the perfect combination of both! It’s pretty easy, too! First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take a 9×13 baking dish and spray with cooking spray. Then sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella on the bottom of …
