Braised Beef Ribs This is a recipe I shared a few years; perfect for Valentine’s Day… please, please, please try it… unless you’re vegetarian… you probably won’t like it if you’re vegetarian. I’ve never been one to think about food in terms of “romantic” but then I tasted this and it came to me like…
Game Day Menu Ideas I have said it before, and I’ll say it again; I do not know anything about football 🏈 or the Super Bowl. In fact, I just learned that it is spelled ‘Super Bowl’, and not, ‘Superbowl’… live and learn ☺️ I know food though!!!! Here I present 25 lightened up dishes,…
Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup Here I present my simple recipe for a hearty Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup, its a soul-soothing comfort meal that’s loaded with vegetables 🙂 I don’t like cauliflower.

Stracciatella Soup This is the quintessential Italian Soup recipe I grew up eating – solely on special occasions. Only at Christmas and Easter. I guess that’s why I decided to try it last week; Easter was around the corner. When I was little we’d have Christmas dinner at my aunt’s then my mother would host…
Turkey and Rice Soup So far I’m really not impressed with 2021. 1. We’re in lockdown. 2. The only way to take your kids skating is to reserve a time slot. 3. My community appears to be time slot whores. 4. We’re going to build our own skating rink but the temperature is too…

Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it 🙂 I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall…
