Dinner

Vegetable Shepherd’s Pie

March 18, 2015

Comfort food can most certainly be hearty vegetable dishes. If you want to make this recipe vegan then use nondairy products instead of butter and milk.

Pope In Rome Meatballs

February 15, 2015

You don’t have to be the Pope or In Rome to make these delicious and easy Italian meatballs.

Winter Pot Roast

February 6, 2015

It’s cold outside which calls for a comforting Winter Pot Roast. Feel free to use any vegetables that strike your fancy.

Basil And Tomato Spaghetti

February 2, 2015

Many times it’s best using simple and inexpensive ingredients. Don’t worry if it’s winter and you must use a lesser quality cherry tomato variety because you’ll get a concentration of taste and texture during the roasting process. The beauty of using bread crumbs in this recipe is that it adds both crunch along with thickening the sauce.

Spicy Pork With Parsnips & Potatoes

January 16, 2015

I absolutely love this pork tenderloin dish. If you would rather use sweet potatoes then by all means go for it. Oh, and here’s a good tip for peeling ginger. To remove the ginger skin easily, just scrape with the edge of a spoon.  It’s that simple!

Chicken With Provençal Vegetables

January 11, 2015

If you would rather have your potatoes extra-crispy, then return the pan to the oven while the chicken is resting.  

Peppers Stuffed With Lamb & Couscous

September 18, 2014

If you’re looking for an easy dinner menu item then look no further. This dish is super easy to make and everyone will swear that you spent all day in the kitchen. 

Lamb Stuffed Tomatoes

September 3, 2014

This dish is easy to make and you’ll look like a culinary genius. Top with mozzarella cheese and garnish with chives and your family will beg you to make these stuffed tomatoes again. You need hearty beefsteak tomatoes for this recipe. 

Nana’s Smothered Chicken

August 6, 2014

This is a straightforward chicken recipe that is a staple in Southern kitchens. Essentially shallow-fried chicken slow cooked in a brown onion gravy. I like to serve over buttery mashed potatoes.

Super Easy Meat Loaf

Super Easy Meat Loaf

Super Easy Meat Loaf

After a long weekend I confess that I’m not really in the mood to make a big elaborate dinner so assembling an easy meat loaf is just right. I always like to make extra for sandwiches throughout the week. Serve my Super Easy Meat Loaf with mashed potatoes and a tossed green salad.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 Pounds Ground Beef or Ground Chicken

1 Chopped Medium Red Onion

1 Lightly Beaten Egg

1/4 Cup Organic Ketchup

1/3 Cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large-size bowl combine ground beef with chopped onions, beaten egg, ketchup, oats, kosher salt, and pepper. Form in loaf and place in loaf pan, with at least 1/2 inch space between meat and edges of pan, so that grease can drain away from meat. Place in oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until done. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Drain off grease and then remove from pan onto serving platter. Serve warm. Serves 4
