Healthy food, fresh ingredients, simple reci[es

Apples are traditional with pork, and the flavors, obviously, work well.

I’m offering up this tasty little dish as a bribe for your opinion.

Are you looking for recipes for Thanksgiving? Mashed potatoes are always a hit, but why not make them a little more interesting this year? The caramelized onions add a bit of sweet and the horseradish adds a bit of hot, making these a great accompaniment.

The last few acorn squash that formed were small, about the size of a baseball.

Leftovers after the big turkey dinner? For some people the leftovers are the best part of the turkey… Whether it’s standing at the fridge with a fork in hand or piling it all up on a plate and micro-waving for lunch or creating something new with it.

I’ve been in a lazy cooking mood lately… I want quick, easy, warm and comforting.

This weekend I cleaned the house, found the Christmas decorations, decorated the house, and baked Christmas breads (cranberry and pumpkin).

I had an extra leek in the house (didn’t need it for the lasagne) and I had one, last, small acorn squash left.

This is one of those long-cooking dishes that I love doing during the winter.

I was watching British cooking shows while trimming the tree the other day.

These 2 breads have been part of my holiday tradition since I was in charge of my very first kitchen.
