Dad’s Sautéed Steakhouse Mushrooms
Daddy loves him some buttery mushrooms sautéed with onions and Worcestershire. Dad’s Steakhouse Sautéed Mushrooms fill a void left in my life since I stopped working at a particular steakhouse loooong ago!
One Pan Chicken Parm with Veggies
Enter the era of One Pan Chicken Parm with Veggies! I find you can almost always add something like eggplant or spinach to a pre-existing dish thereby adding tremendous nutritional value. It’s a valuable Veteran Move for anyone in any Kitchen and eggplant is the operative veggie in this recipe!
Nona’s Pasta e Fagioli
Sometimes referred to as Pasta Fazool, Pasta e Fagioli is a hearty autumn/winter delight that is as delicious and filling as it is healthy and nutritious.
Super Easy Apple Crisp
The original recipe called for Hob Nobs, a popular hybrid Digestive/Oatmeal biscuit found in the UK. I found them pretty easily here in Toronto but… so, I tried a few variations and fell onto Oatmeal Raisin Cookies… the results as my friends in Britain say ‘were lush!’
Dad’s Brown Butter Sole
To make Sole Meunière dredge the fillet first in flour and then cook it in an easy to make sauce of brown butter, chopped parsley and lemon. The flour and butter combine to make a beautiful brown crust and the parsley and lemon produce a subtle, not at all fishy flavour.
Great Cauliflower Cashew Mash
Mashed Cashew Cauliflower is an absolutely terrific way to drastically lower calories and carbs while still producing a side dish that looks, feels, and even tastes like that comfort food King (or Queen) mashed potatoes!
Easy Sweet Corn Bread
This Easy Sweet Cornbread is a little cakey and a little sweet. Cornbread is not really a kitchen table staple where I’m from so its taken me a while to find a recipe I like. This one is just right as far as I’m concerned.
Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers
These Tex Mex Stuffed peppers are a little fussier than I usually post here but, they’re so delicious and so good for you that I thought I’d make an exception.
Veteran Tool #2: The Slowcooker
I don’t remember who made the suggestion or how I came to possess my Crockpot brand 6-quart slowcooker but, I do know I have used it hundreds and hundreds of times and it’s NEVER let me down.
One Pot Spinach Mushroom Orzo
One Pot Spinach Mushroom Orzo is very tasty main course option that is easy to adjust to fit even vegetarian or vegan diets. It takes full advantage of the protein punch of spinach and the satisfyingly earthy, meaty quality of Cremini mushrooms.
