This is a nice, filling soup…almost a stew, really. It’s loaded with flavor and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. “Cooking the pantry”, so to speak, makes for a perfect, perfectly delicious mid-week meal. Though, I do think this is even better reheated. Continue reading

Chimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood. Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable! It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything. Continue reading

This is a great little appetizer to whip up at a moment’s notice. Smear it on a bland, buttery cracker, and you think it’s perfect. But stuffed into one of the little sweet-hot round peppers that you can find on the olive bar…you know the ones, it’s stupendous. Continue reading
