Need to use up leftover cooked or raw vegetables this is your recipe! I use this with the leftovers from my Italian vegie stir fry. I use it to finish off the vegies from farmers vegie box( you know the vegies that worked their way down into the corner of your vegetable drawer). No matter how you get them this is the best way to get them out of the fridge and into your family. Not only can you use the borderline vegies but a way to use up the leftover sausage and bacon. But I have also used that lone leftover pork chop or piece of pork tenderloin. Not enough to make a dent in a normal recipe but great in this one. It can become a star. The bits and pieces in your freezer are welcome as well.
Low Carb/Keto
Greek-Mediterranean Chicken
I was just looking thru photos on my phone and came across this beauty. I had completely forgotten about this recipe until I saw it and started to drool. Believe me not pretty. That looks better on a mastiff than on me.
When we first made the move to Florida I was emptying boxes and finding a place to put all of the stuff. If you have ever moved you know exactly what I mean. Why did I leave this and why did I bring that? My escape was looking at recipes a new way. So much fun!
The another thing about moving to Florida is how much I really like Greek food. I had forgotten those days when we all went to the Greek restaurants once a week. Lots of food and it was inexpensive. I saw something similar to this at one of the restaurants here and had to find an old recipe friend ( which gave me incentive to empty another box of cook book, notebooks and cooking magazines. Bonus!) I have a bad habit of jotting notes on pieces of paper that are handy when I am cooking. Sometimes making 2,3 or 4 notes concerning one ingredient so after a few months and some times years it is a chore ( a labor of love)to translate.
Egg Roll in a Bowl
New most favorite recipe! And versatile as well!
I have been hearing about this thing called egg roll in a bowl for a short time now and was curious. You see I am the person that looks( and eats) at just about all recipes as a potential mini egg roll for entertaining. Something that can be made ahead and frozen. Something that can feed a few or a herd. Something that once made and frozen can be popped in the oven on a minutes notice. Add a dipping sauce and there you go knock your socks off good.
Pork Chops and Green Beans in Garlic Sauce

This recipe came from a recipe for chicken that I was considering a redo on. I usually make up a weekly set of menus and then do my shopping but pork loins were on sale for $.99 a pound and what could I do. I buy the loin whole(4 lbs) and then cut it up and freeze per recipes I want to use it on latter. Today it was this recipe (2lbs) cut into 1″ chops and then a small 2 lb piece for roasted pork and vegetables. Sometimes they get cut up in pork medallions that get used for stir fry or on the grill. Everyone loves a bargain and then when the finished product tastes great BONUS.

For years I have been making eggplant parmesan the normal casserole way. And using your tried and true breading method.A-P flour, egg, seasoned bread crumbs. Plus it seemed to me to take for ever. And then there was light! awwww
We were at a cute little bar/restaurant near us and they do their eggplant in stacks. Yes in stacks. This is a great idea for smaller portions and it stays fresh. Went straight to the grocery and purchased a small eggplant that I can cut in coins and away we went with this idea and just love it. It is fast, keto friendly, isn’t soggy and not a ton of leftovers.
Steak Diane Redo
I have a habit that annoys the crap out of my husband. . I turn on the TV and proceed to do my ‘stuff’ instead of watching it.
Not today – GZ on the Kitchen was apparently doing a redo of my go-to dinner party recipe from back in the day..Steak Diane. Oh baby, I love that dinner and it did me proud for years. Easier than you think and I used grocery store and Wal-Mart ingredients for the most part making it look expensive but not so. Big bang for your buck works for me.
Chicken Poblano Tortilla Soup

Since moving to Florida I have gotten away from one of my most favorite things – soups. Soups of any shape and form. Hot – cold does not matter to me. But I saw this recipe in a Keto magazine and had to come up with a version of my own. From my first cooking lesson I found I was just not good at follow a recipe exactly as they are given to me. I think that is my am a sad, sad baker. Do not get me started on those stories. But I promise I am going to try really had to be a better baker.
Time for Tomato Pie!

It is time for a repost of one of my favorite recipes. Just need to savor what might be the last of the really great fresh tomatoes until next year. Thought you might need a nudge in that direction as well.
Opened the mail box to find a spectacular Tomato Pie on the cover of July issue of Southern Living. Oh dear, need one now please! The only problem was we have started Keto and the crust is a big no! Now it is only a brush with Keto not a marriage at this point. We have commitment issues when it comes to diet interfering with good eating so something had to change and the pie crust used in the recipe was the winner in the had to change category. Man does not live by all-purpose flour and sugar alone and you have to pick your battles as I see it. Plus, it didn’t require a rolling pin..since moving I have not found my full size one. But I know it is here and refuse to buy a new one. What is the use of down sizing if you buy 2 (or 3) of everything?

THE best vegie dip I have found over these many years is right here. I have been serving this for the past 25 years and it never seems to get a bad review.
