This sandwich has always seemed a bit over the top for someone committed to making Healthy Choices. However, when Cooking Light shared a Melty Monsieur recipe…that got me thinking. Three of my favorite food groups are in play with our Lightened Up Croque Madame sandwich. Continue reading »

Parmesan & Herb Savory French Toast {with Balsamic Onion Jam} is just one more reason I’m addicted to breakfast foods. Fresh herb flavors with a bit of nutty parmesan went so well with the slightly sweet onion jam. Let fresh herbs elevate the flavors in your dishes while you take full credit for the results.

We rarely have a loaf of bread on hand, except when it’s tomato season. So for brunch today I went with a savory French Toast recipe that incorporated fresh herbs, tomatoes, and Indian spices. Masala Egg Toast might be a new favorite. Continue reading »

We’ve made this dish so often that frankly I’ve taken for granted how good it is. Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals. These Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy are simple and delicious. Continue reading »

My first experience with fondue was in the mid to late 70s while visiting New York City. Mom took us to a trendy new restaurant called The Melting Pot. Fondue was the hottest craze to hit the restaurant scene. We gleefully dipped breads, meats, and seafood into broths and cheeses. As a kid this might have been the coolest dining experience in my entire 12 year life. Continue reading »

At first this Turkey Divan Grilled Cheese Sandwich vision seemed a bit of a stretch. However, since it was born out of ingredients already in our fridge/pantry it was worth giving it a go. No risk, no reward.

I declared I would share a different Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe each day for the entire month of April, also known as National Grilled Cheese Month. While we had a good amount in the archives we’ve had to put on our creative recipe hats to fill out our offering. What a month!! Are you ready? Recipe links are below each photo. Enjoy!!

Mushroom, Sausage & Sage Quinoa Stuffing.
I could make a meal out of stuffing. In fact I’m sure I have on more than one occasion. This particular recipe was exceptional. It had some key ingredients like lots of celery, carrots, and onion. But it also had some special flavor boosting components. Continue reading »

There’s one splurge I can not resist during the holidays and that is bread pudding. I’ve shared a couple savory versions of this simplistic dish, however the sweet buttery rendition is MY all-time favorite. Here is my Maple Pecan Bread Pudding {with Bourbon Sauce}. Continue reading »
