My family loves these little mini buffets for dinner. It is almost like playing with your food. We had 2 French baguettes leftover that we wanted to use up that were going to be rock hard by the morning so we decided to slice them and toast them for crostini. Then we raided our cupboards…

Grilled Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce
I love cheese! Grilled chicken with cheese sauce? Even better. We use this cheese sauce on lots of things – Nachos, warm pretzels, and now chicken. Verdict: This is a delicious warming dish. It felt like a big comfort food hug. My son added lots of hot salsa to the top of his chicken (see…
Grilled Sweet Asian Chili Chicken
We are still in the high 80s and low 90s here. It has been a weird summer in that we live less than a mile from the beach and we haven’t been at all this summer. We are still staying away from most people which means lots of family time. We have always been close…
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
I love the lilies that we have planted in front flower beds. Lilies are one of my favorite flowers. They are so pretty. At our home in Rochester I had white, pink, and reddish lilies that I loved. We planted these three years ago and will divide them later this summer so that they don’t…
Grilled Chicken Piccata
My daughter’s favorite meal is Chicken Piccata. Every time we go out to eat if the restaurant has Chicken Piccata I can count on her to order it. The funny thing is 90% of the time 1/2 way through the meal she will turn to me and say, “Yours is so much better.” My secret?…

Grilled Turkey
This is a first for us. I called this the summer of grilling and we are going all in. In cleaning out our freezer this month we still had a turkey that we bought on sale at Thanksgiving (really cheap – we buy 3 or 4 to use during the year). So, we decided to…
Huli Huli Chicken
Huli Huli Chicken is a Hawaiian dish. Huli means “turn” in Hawaiian and refers to the way the chicken is cooked. It is usually cooked between two large racks that are constantly flipped to get a good char and lots of surface cooking. I don’t have two large racks to cook on my grill but…
Chicken Salad – No Buy June
One of the things we do twice each year is a no buy month. What I mean is we try to eat solely out of what we have on hand only grocery shopping for a few fresh items once a week. We need to clean out our freezers (refrigerator freezer and chest freezer). With all…
Tonga Toast
As many of you know my family loves Walt Disney World and well, anything Disney. We make annual trips to Disney and I loved it so much I finally became a travel agent specializing in Disney and Universal Studios. I love planning trips. We are foodies and the highlight for our family isn’t just the…

Lazy Lasagna or Ravioli Lasagna Bake
Day 79 – Well, my house is the cleanest it has been in a long time. We are now going through closests, drawers, and all those little nooks and crannies that hide things and sorting everything out. I had planned on doing this the first week of “Stay Home. Stay Safe.” but the best laid…
