The weather has turned a bit cool the last couple of days. A sad reminder that the dog summer days are dwindling and fall will soon be here if not already. We enjoyed this soup last night along with hot corn bread muffins served with butter and honey. Beef and Vegetable Soup 2 tablespoons olive…

Tandoori Chicken
If you go to any Indian restaurant, you will most likely find this item on the menu. The chicken is cooked in a tandoor oven which is designed to cook meats and Indian flatbreads at a very high temperature. I love this recipe because you can marinate it overnight and fix it on the grill…
In Honor of Julia
I recently got a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking with the hopes of going through the cookbook and preparing each recipe much like the character of Julie did in the movie Julie and Julia. But with a toddler, that dream seems a little difficult to attain. I love this recipe for creme…
Food Memories
There is something very comforting about having a meal from your childhood. My mother would fix chicken curry at least once a week when we were growing up. I never understood how labor-intensive it was to fix this dish, especially after a full day of work! It was our favorite meal by far, especially for…
Turkey Meatballs
I like to double the recipe and freeze half of the cooked meatballs so that I have a meal in case we have last minute company or I want to deliver a meal to someone in need. I find baking the meatballs instead of cooking over the stove top is less messy. Turkey Meatballs Recipe…
Mens Breakfast
Every other Tuesday, a few men from church come over to our house for breakfast at 6:00 a.m. It is mostly just a time for them to encourage each other, share about what the Lord is teaching them and a time for fellowship. My husband was part of a mens breakfast at our previous church…
Weekend Breakfast
These pancakes are surprisingly fluffy and tender, not what you expect with whole wheat pancakes. I have found whole wheat pastry flour in the bulk section of my local Whole Foods Market. I added fresh blueberries for extra fiber and sweetness. My son loves these pancakes and even after two pancakes, he politely asks, “Mo,…
My Inside Out Burger
On our last visit to Kansas City, my sister introduced us to this fabulous burger restaurant. Food Network Magazine recently rated its inside out burger as the best in the state of Missouri. This burger has blue cheese stuffed inside, applewood smoked bacon, an onion ring, butter lettuce, ketchup, & mustard all served up on…
We’ll Always Have Paris!
In April, 2006 my hubby surprised me with a week long trip to Paris (and not Paris, Texas!). It was everything I had dreamed it would be and so much more. The French are known for their food but we opted not to eat at fancy restaurants because of the price. One of our favorite…
Meatless Monday
One thing I really appreciate about my hubby is that he isn’t a picky eater. He eats everything I make with no complaints and although he may prefer to have something else, he is always willing to eat what’s on the table. One such meal is eggplant. I adore eggplant. I really like the Indian…
