Salad time
We haven’t had a fresh green salad in several days so this was a great night for one. All the traditionally used veggies of carrots, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, celery then added fresh sunflower seeds for something different. I’ve had several USA grown Haus avocados ripening the last couple days and sliced one of them for…

Left overs done right
We had brocoli soup left from last night to have again tonight. Since it is Sunday, that was wonderful because it meant less time in the kitchen for a nourishing meal. One of our favorite meals is boneless, skinless chicken baked on top of green beans to let the flavorful juices cook into them. Tonight…

Waste not, want not
I was raised knowing you never waste things. If it could be repaired, it was repaired. We got creative with left overs if there were any. With the cost of everything, especially food so insanely high right now, that sentiment is even more important. I’ve had the stems of a couple brocolli heads in the…

Yogurt pancakes!
No photos tonight. I didn’t think about it until the meal had been consumed. It has been a rushed crazy day and I had to throw something together for dinner fairly quickly. I was feeling the need for simple fiber and there was plain Greek yogurt in the fridge in need of being used soon.…

Deep south comfort foods meets healthy upgrade
I was raised in the deep south with all that entails including lots of comfort foods. We ate our fill of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fried pork chops with white flour gravy and biscuits. We southerners never thought twice about all that white flour and grease. As I grew older and less active it just…

When the heat kicks in
… cold meals are abundant. The deep south gets hot and humid early in the year and it hasn’t disappointed this year. Having many errands to run today, I got home in time to start something for dinner. I laid out a pack of boneless, skinless chicken to thaw before leaving and…. remember I said that…

Summer time meal
It seems summer has sprung here in the deep south and that leads, more often than not, to less concentration on full oven cooked meals. Skinless, boneless chicken is a staple in our home, whether baked, broiled, boiled or grilled. It was just a matter of coming up with delicious sides to complete the meal.…
