Smoked Salmon Appetizer with Arugula
Today I’m sharing a smoked salmon appetizer. Smoked salmon is one of the easiest and tastiest appetizer ingredients there is. You could be eating this today for a before meal treat! Mary Jo and I are finally back in Florida. We came back down early this year to check out the hurricane damage. Luckily, only…
Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables with Sausage
This sheet pan dinner is so good! Just ask MaryJo, my official taste tester, (I think she liked it)! Roasted vegetables with sausage tossed with a number of spices to bring out the best flavors of the veggies is a meal you’ve got to try. Easy and tasty is in play here. I used a…
Macaroni Deviled Egg Salad
Here’s a recipe for a delicious macaroni deviled egg salad that would be the perfect thing to bring to a potluck dinner or have at a picnic or backyard party. About a week ago, Mary Jo picked up 2 dozen hard boiled eggs that were on sale for $4.99. That’s a super price for not…
Cold Mango Pasta Salad
This cold mango pasta salad would be a perfect accompaniment to any meal in the coming summer months. It’s refreshing and citrusy with a nice mango sweetness to it. Here in Florida, they are practically giving mangos away this month, (not really…4 for $5.00). That’s a good deal though. Mango is a perfect addition to a…
Nutty Oat Burgers on Portobello Caps

Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s we were pseudo vegetarians. Pseudo because we’d occasionally eat seafood and sometimes chicken. One thing that we had a lot were these nutty oat…
Classic Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
A breaded pork tenderloin sandwich was always my mom’s favorite when she would occasionally take my sister and me to a cafe for lunch. This was in west central Illinois and I’ve been reading that the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich was either an Indiana thing or an Iowa thing. I’m not sure where Illinois fits…
Roasted Beet Tartare Recipe
I love beets…cooked with butter or canned pickled beets. Amy harvested 12 to 15 nice sized beets from her garden so I knew I needed to do a beet recipe. Mary Jo just borrowed Mark Bittman’s, The Food Matters Cookbook from the library and she saw this recipe for beet tartare. I’m always interested in trying new…
Kale Salad with Cranberry Orange Dressing
Here’s a healthy salad you can put together in no time and it tastes so darned good. Kale salad with cranberry orange dressing. Amy’s garden needs to be thinned out, and there are 3 or 4 dinosaur kale plants that she planted. On it’s own, this kale is a little bitter tasting, but combined with the citrus and…
Grilled Caprese Salad Sandwich
Grilling season is starting and no better way to enjoy it than making a grilled caprese salad sandwich. It contains all the ingredients in a caprese salad, but gets kicked up with a toasted baguette and grilled veggies. The toasted bread gets a spread of mayo and pesto and everything gets a drizzle of balsamic…
