Recipes posted one year ago: Jerk Chicken Skewers Creamy Carrot and Sweet Onion Soup Meatloaf Here is a great "comfort food" recipe. I have never actually made a Shepherd's Pie before and was giving myself a big pat on the back as it turned out incredible and even got a huge thumbs up from the … Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie

Applesauce
Recipes posted a year ago: Berry (or Cherry) Crisp Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Breast Roasted Fennel Summer Squash I have three tiny apple trees in my yard. They are too small yet to produce fruit. Maybe I would have gotten a few apples this year if the deer hadn't taken a few (understatement) nibbles? I don't know. … Continue reading Applesauce
Salmon with Blueberry Sauce
Recipe posted a year ago: Wasabi Teriyaki Sauce My dad recently went on a salmon fishing trip off the coast of Vancouver Island. He brought home so much salmon! The ironic thing is he doesn't like seafood (huge score for us!). Well, let me say that he did eat salmon a few years back at … Continue reading Salmon with Blueberry Sauce
Sesame Orange Pork Loin
Today's recipe is an easy pork roast that takes almost no effort to prep and only about an hour to cook. You do need to marinade for a little while, but that can be done before you leave for work, or even right when you get home if you don't mind eating just a little … Continue reading Sesame Orange Pork Loin
Chunky Sausage Tomato Soup
First off, I want to apologize - I experienced some odd camera malfunctioning (probably user error) last week and ended up losing the "in process" photos of about three or four different recipes. I still managed to get pictures of the finished dish (or the leftovers when I had them for lunch the next day) … Continue reading Chunky Sausage Tomato Soup
Apricot Pork Roast

So I set to work making some adjustments to suit our own less-sweet-loving palates, and to convert it over to work with a boneless butt pork … Continue reading Apricot Pork Roast
Sesame Chicken Salad
The weather is finally supposed to be really nice this weekend here in the PNW, which means that everyone will be outside trying to get lots of Vitamin D built up in the next few days. And while grilling is a favorite way to prepare a meal when the weather gets nice, it can sometimes … Continue reading Sesame Chicken Salad
Cream of Chicken Stew
I will warn you now: this recipe uses a little bit of dairy - heavy cream to be exact. So, if you are avoiding dairy, you'll want to substitute (coconut milk would certainly do nicely). Outside of that, this is a simple and easy recipe that can be cooked up in about 45 minutes and … Continue reading Cream of Chicken Stew
Brazilian Chicken Curry
Today is the 31st anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. That has absolutely nothing to do with this recipe whatsoever, but just thought I would share 🙂 Here in the Pacific NW it is a big deal to ask, "where were you when the mountain blew?" Well, according to my mom, I was in … Continue reading Brazilian Chicken Curry
Quick Turkey Soup
Part of our weekend routine is to sit down with our own hand-written book of recipes, our folder of clipped recipes, and the other sources we draw from for ideas and inspiration, and put together a menu for the week. We make notes on adjustments, compile a list of ingredients needed for everything on the menu, check it … Continue reading Quick Turkey Soup
