One of my favorite snacks that I only make around Halloween as that is the only time I have them. Cleaning the seeds takes a little patience but has to be done. Although these are roasted, the process begins with boiling the seeds to cook the inside of the seeds otherwise they will most likely…
“Stuff”
Garlic Butter Meatballs
If you are unfamiliar with Zoodles they are zucchini cut into strings making them a low carb substitute for pasta. Many supermarkets offer several kinds of squash prepared this way. If this does not suit you by all means substitute them with pasta. Perhaps a spinach linguine is more your style? Go for it!
Cheese Steak Stuffed Peppers
Low carb and satisfying. If you like stuffed peppers then this is a no brainer. Resist the urge to use pre-made frozen “steaks” because that will disappoint for sure. If you cant, or wont slice your favorite steak most supermarkets do have shaved beef/steak which works really well. I enjoy these best with Marinara sauce…
Grilled Zucchini
Summer time is grilling time so why not take your vegetables to the grill? We find zucchini to be extremely versatile so why not kiss it with fire! These are light and delicious and go with just about anything from the grill or the stove.
Pizza Mac & Cheese
The name is a little misleading. This pasta dish is more like a spicy baked ziti and there is nothing wrong with that! The heat can be adjusted by using more crushed red pepper or none at all if you prefer however I recommend following the recipe the first time you make this and decide…
Cheesy Baked Chicken and Rice
Casseroles are a favorite of mine combining the elements of a complete meal in one baked dish. This chicken and rice dish is baked in a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce and the peas can be substituted with any vegetable of your liking. Broccoli and carrots come to mind!
Classic Cole Slaw
Stirling Engines
Perhaps it is the German blood in me that makes me fascinated with mechanical things. This explains my career choice as an automotive diesel technician and as a child I was always deconstructing toys and reassembling them, sometimes to repair but I always seemed to find myself intently involved. I would tune out whatever was…
Bob Ross
I dunno why we laugh but there were a whole lot of people who knew who he was. Bob Ross was an American artist known for The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS. I learned of him from a fiend that was watching him… well I…
Simon’s Cat
As with any pet cats embed themselves in your life, your family and your home. They have their own personalities and behaviors which we humans tend compare to our own. I’ll bet if you have a pet you talk to them don’t you! Simon’s Cat captures the essence of cats delightfully nose to balloon knot….
