Summer’s Best – Zucchini!

Lately my days are so busy; I have to make sure that I plan dinner early in the day. Today I put on a crock pot full of beef and barley soup. It is easy and tasty and it will be done when I get home from work. I really love letting the crock pot [...]
Dinner tonight is going to be simple and delicious! It is also going to be a quick fix dinner. We are having cheese ravioli with vegetarian marinara sauce and a nice big salad. On Friday I made eggplant parmesana, chicken parmesana, and fettuccini topped with vegetable marinara sauce. It was scrumptious and I made a [...]

You have to plan ahead for this meal. The meat needs to marinate for [...]
I love Fettuccini Alfredo, but I don’t love the calories in it. I came up with my own lighter version of this tasty sauce and I serve it with baked, boneless, skinless chicken breast and California mix vegetables for a much healthier, but still delicious Fettuccini Alfredo dinner.
I am making it tonight specifically for one [...]

Tonight my daughter and her family are coming over for dinner. I don’t want to spend the whole night cooking. I want to spend time with my grandsons, so I will use one of my favorite quick fix recipes for dinner. I am going to pick up some fresh french bread on the way home [...]
