Recipes
I LOVE food and I LOVE to cook! For me, it is a science experiment in creativity! I almost NEVER follow a complete recipe. I am always tweaking something – adding spices, hidden vegetables, etc. I love the freedom, relaxation, and companionship cooking brings. When my kids were home, we cooked together nearly every meal. I challenged them to find a different fruit or vegetable once a month for us to try and they would be responsible for learning about that item and finding a meal to prepare. This made them a part of the entire process and gave them both the tools and love of cooking that I had. Let’s take that walk together here.

Main Course
Ground Beef Stroganoff
This one requires a preface. Beef stroganoff is one of the meals I remember as a child. Since it is made with milk / cream, I’ve not been able to have it since becoming an adult. One day I had such a craving for it that I decided to modify the recipe I had to make it where I could have it. That creation is the recipe below.
Oyako Donburi
We lived in Japan for seven years and I fell in love with all things Asian. This was my favorite “fast food” meal and I just couldn’t get enough. I do miss it and the people. Fast and easy to make.
Lasagne
Our family likes things SPICY! This recipe has so many deep flavors that your eyes roll back in your head. Easy to make. Make your sauce the night before for best flavors!

Salads
Kale Salad
I must thank my mother for this recipe. She introduced it and I have made many variations on the main theme. Another recipe you can add whatever you have available at home.
Thai Beef Salad
This is my gauge letting me know if a Thai restaurant is one I will return to and try other dishes on the menu. Rarely do I find one that beats the ladies from Okinawa (Thai wives rock!) but I do try. Bursting with favors and spice. It makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Radicchio, Pear, and Fennel Salad with Anise Orange Dressing
The next time you are looking for a fresh and flavorful salad – try this one! Big flavors in a quick and easy build. Great for a hot summer night meal.
