We love Veggie Tales. I mean, how much fun is a bunch of gourds making up the wildly popular “Boyz in the Sink” band? Or silly songs about “crusin’ to Dunkin’ Donuts for a cup of steaming Joe in our sport utility vehicles…”?

Creamy Chicken Alfredo for Two
Friday night. Date night at home. Candlelit dinner near the crackling fire, cloth napkins, flowers in a glass vase, pretty dishes, something special for dessert, and no calorie counting – just food so delicious you can’t hold in that big sigh.
Amazing Pellet Smoked Chicken Breast
I got a new toy! Actually, it’s something I have wanted for several years now, but hesitated because of uncertainty. Not uncertainty that a new pellet smoker would be a great addition to my cooking arsenal, but uncertainty that I am “up” for a new style of cooking. All of that hesitancy was completely unfounded … Read more Amazing Pellet Smoked Chicken Breast
Creamed Mushrooms (Svampstuvning)
“Stewed” anything is an ugly word in the English language. When you stew something, you basically cook it slowly – in its own juices – which brings amazing flavour to any dish. But in Swedish, “stuvning” introduces other lovely liquids to enhance. Like CREAM.
Jerk Chicken with Creamy Yoghurt and Lime Sauce
“Jerk” was a term we were not allowed to use growing up. It was right up there with “shut up”, “stupid”, “ain’t”, and other such phrases.

Imagine our near-hysterics as the pastor at our … Read more Jerk Chicken with Creamy Yoghurt and Lime Sauce
Fennel Spice Rub
Fennel is one of those mysterious vegetables that find their way into lots of dishes at fine restaurants, but the average home cook seldom thinks of using it. In fact, every single time I purchase fennel bulbs at our local small town grocer, the cashier asks what it is. They are missing out on something wonderful!
Curry Chicken and Cashews
The three C’s — curry, chicken, cashews. They are as exciting as the 3 Musketeers, as innovative as Minnesota-based 3M company, but not nearly as tacky and disturbing as the TV show Three’s Company. 🤣
BLTZ Carbonara
Carbonara is an Italian dish – likely from Rome – that consists of bacon, eggs, cheese, and pasta. Without the fat of cream, the amazing creaminess of this dish comes from egg yolks. Add a bunch of veggies, and even the Italians would say WOW!
Crockpot Chicken Chili
Fall, winter, spring — we all need to eat. And some times we all need something easy and convenient. And we ALL need food that tastes good and satisfies. As always in this blog, there are no ads and no pop-ups. (I get so annoyed when constantly having to close boxes in order to read … Read more Crockpot Chicken Chili
Crockpot Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs
Some times a fave could use an update. Think of how many design changes blue jeans have experienced in the past decades! From bikini-bellbottoms to high-waisted straights, mom jeans to boyfriend jeans, trip-over-your-own-legs-baggies to skin-tight-can’t-breath-jeggings. They are all great, EXCEPT for the ridiculous style in the late 1980’s when we tucked the hem of our … Read more Crockpot Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs
