‘Tis the season for parties and celebration so I made a caramelized onion crostini with mushrooms because you can never have too many appetizer recipes. Lately, I’ve been making caramelized onions a lot, simply because they are easy and secondly, they add so much flavor. They are perfect with meats, and great when mixed in…

Healthy Roasted Fall Vegetables
I know that I’ve done roasted vegetables before, but this recipe post is different. This is Healthy Roasted Fall Vegetables…with a twist. We’re going to roast these yummy vegetables, serve them, but then make sure that there are leftovers to make this tasty vegetable hash. This recipe is totally inspired from an article by Beth…
Pumpkin and Red Lentil Soup
It’s pumpkin season again and I can’t think of a better way to get it started than with pumpkin and red lentil soup. Pumpkin is packed with vitamins, low carbs and low calories…but the flavor is fantastic. The lentils are for protein and fiber. The two blend very well and provide a satisfying, yet low calorie…
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…
BBQ Jackfruit Sliders
BBQ Jackfruit sliders…the vegetarian, (or vegan), alternative to BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. In a blind taste test it would be hard to distinguish the two, except that the jackfruit is more tender than pork. It really makes for a very tasty sandwich! I had never eaten jackfruit until our neighbor Tom brought over a barbecue…
Pasta with Potatoes and Greens
Nearly ten years ago our daughter, Amy, sent me an email with a main dish recipe that included pasta with potatoes and greens and cheese that she wanted me to make for her birthday dinner. I had never heard of combining pasta and potatoes in a casserole. It sounded weird to me, so I was…
Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie
Strawberry banana green smoothie time! I’m the one that does not eat green soup and would never drink a green drink. That is until now. Time for me to man up. I wasn’t too sure how I would like it, but strawberries and bananas together are really good. I figured that I could add some other…
Mexican Jalapeno Taco Sauce
“That green stuff!” Mexican jalapeno taco sauce. Squeeze some of this tear inducing sauce on your taco and dream of Acapulco. And make sure you have some tissues ready in case your nose starts running, (like mine did). This is a simple taco sauce which packs some heat, but it’s a good heat, and…
