Do you know what I love about stir-fries? You can literally make them with anything you have on hand. Literally. Any handfuls of vegetables- fresh, canned or frozen can be compiled in a pot with or without meat and be called dinner. Yesterday I looked in the fridge and freezer […]

A Sweet Treat For The Coming Heat!
The hot, hot, hot weather is on it’s way! Tomorrow at this time the mercury is expected to climb back up into the range of “oppressive”. We’re ready for it. The air conditioners are in the windows, and I have a garden full of salad greens ready to be a […]
Easy Basil Pork Chops
This was one of those meals that I needed on the fly. I had pork chops… and no inspiration as to what to do with them. We’d had several meals of stir-fries and pork taco-like things, and it was time for something porkish that was different than what we’d been […]
