Spanish Beef Dinner
Here’s a delicious ground beef recipe that we’ve enjoyed in the past, and would be a quick dinner on a busy day. We could use some of the herbs from our garden that the chef dried in the dehydrator this fall. The recipe is adapted from Quickies: Ten Quick Ways with Everyday Foods,one of my [...]
Pasta With Tomato Cream Cheese Sauce
During the summer and early fall, we use tomatoes from our garden to make this sauce. After the tomato season has ended, we use canned tomatoes instead. The recipe is adapted from Low-Fat Express: Great Taste in 30 Minutes, by Jean Paré, and is part of the Company’s Coming series. The recipe is simple to [...]
Cottage Roll With Vegetables
The chef first made this delicious meal a few weeks ago, and made it again today. We had our first snowfall of the season, so it was nice to come home to a hot, hearty meal. In some areas, cottage roll is called cottage ham, but it should be a tasty and economical dinner, wherever [...]
Herbed New Potatoes
If you can find some small new potatoes, this recipe is a delicious way to eat them. The chef has made them a few times, and they always turn out very well. The recipe is adapted from The Lighthearted Cookbook, by Anne Lindsay. The cookbook was published with the Canadian Heart Foundation, so you can [...]
Gluten Free Lemon Vegetable Pasta Salad

Chicken And Vegetable Pouches
Occasionally the chef goes out, and I have to make my own supper. Oh, the suffering! Usually I end up having a tossed salad with a can of tuna, or whatever is left over from the night before. Sometime though, I want a bit more, but don’t want to make a big mess. Cooking in [...]
Baked Vegetable Layers
This recipe is a quick and easy way to get potatoes and vegetables ready for supper. If you don’t have zucchini, you could substitute whatever vegetables you have on hand. Just slice them thinly so they cook quickly. It’s adapted from The 250 Best 4-Ingredient Recipes by Margaret Howard, in which I’ve found many excellent [...]
Sloppy Joe Skillet Dinner
The chef found a great deal on lean ground beef, so we’ll need a few recipes to use it up. It’s safely stored in the freezer, so we have a couple of months to use it, before the quality starts to decline. This recipe is quick and easy to prepare, with ingredients that the chef [...]
Cranberry Chicken With Mushrooms
Here’s a recipe that I make when mushrooms are on sale, or if we have leftover sliced mushrooms in the fridge. It’s a nice way to use the dried cranberries that I buy in a big bag at Costco, instead of just baking with them. Instead of chicken breasts, you could use thighs if you [...]
