Just over a week ago, Karen posted a recipe that started out with a small tribute to a great man who I never got the chance to meet...but I still feel blessed to experience his presence every time we have a gathering with her family. Her Grandpa Don's legacy lives on in some way with … Continue reading Grandpa Don’s Bugachi (Teriyaki Beef Skewers)

Roasted Broccolini with Garlic and Lemon
This is a simple and fast side dish that is great with just about any main course from salmon to steaks to pork skewers. We use a two-step process to roast the veggies and then add garlic and lemon to keep the flavors all separated until just before serving. The result is a perfect tender-crisp texture … Continue reading Roasted Broccolini with Garlic and Lemon
Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks
These actually started out inspired by an eggs benedict recipe we had seen and saved. Except that we were actually running a little short on ingredients (it was the day before our usual weekly trip to the market) and the thought of using up half a pound of grass-fed butter for hollandaise sauce just seemed like … Continue reading Sweet Potato Hashbrown Breakfast Stacks
Apple Braised Pork Chops and Coconut-Fried Apples
We've updated this to be two separate recipes, but there is something about pork chops with apples that makes this combination necessary to prepare at the same time. So hit the "print" button at the bottom of this recipe, then follow the link for the apples and do the same there. Then head out to … Continue reading Apple Braised Pork Chops and Coconut-Fried Apples
Pork & Noodle Stir Fry
While the name of this one may sound a bit similar to the Turkey Noodle Stir Fry we did not that long ago, the recipe itself shares only the use of spaghetti squash for noodles, and a few common veggies. Otherwise, it is a whole new recipe that works great as a one-dish meal or … Continue reading Pork & Noodle Stir Fry
Shredded Chicken Strawberry Salad
As the afternoons get longer (and, in spite of daylight savings, we also seem to be gaining daylight earlier in the morning as well), and the sun starts making appearances more than bi-weekly here in the PNW, our thoughts turn to spring and summer. About the same time, we start to see strawberries arriving in the local … Continue reading Shredded Chicken Strawberry Salad
Spinach Turkey Meatballs
This recipe is an easy way to sneak some greens into something other than a salad, and really doesn't take much time or effort to prepare. And, while we didn't do so this time around, you could start out with these as a basic recipe and use your imagination with different types of sauces to … Continue reading Spinach Turkey Meatballs
Cardamom-Clove Pecan Pear Salad
Every once in a while, you stumble across a combination that is not just incredible...it borders on divine. Such is the case with the blend of spices that we incorporate into today's salad - cardamom and cloves. Used in both the honey-candied coating on our pecans and in the zippy rice vinegar and shallot dressing, these two … Continue reading Cardamom-Clove Pecan Pear Salad
Chicken Curry Soup
The original version of this recipe came from our friend Colleen at the gym, although where she originally found the recipe, I'm not sure. When I pulled it out of the folder to put on our menu recently, I couldn't help but make some adjustments that would put our own spin on things. The result … Continue reading Chicken Curry Soup
Cayenne Grilled Chicken
This is a really easy way to add a new dimension to grilled chicken. Combining a little heat from cayenne pepper sauce with a distinct tanginess from cider vinegar left to marinade overnight, this chicken will come off the grill with a wonderful crispy skin and flavorful, moist meat inside. You will need to set … Continue reading Cayenne Grilled Chicken
