Yum, yum! Loaded grilled cheese — cheddar, apple, and bacon — with a rich homemade tomato soup. You don’t need a real recipe for this dinner; just a few good ingredients and a little cooking know-how.
Make the soup. Saute chopped up onion and carrots in a bit of olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. […]
Have you ever had salisbury steak? It’s ground beef formed into a steak shape, cooked, and served with beef gravy. The idea is to make a cheap steak substitute.
Before making this recipe, I hadn’t had salisbury steak in probably 20 years — but I remembered it as a favorite. Apparently my family agrees because they […]

Season your fillets with salt, pepper, and a good dousing of chili pepper then broil for 10 minutes or until opaque. I used frozen sockeye salmon from Costco, just thaw overnight in the fridge. Each […]
You won’t catch me stirring a bubbling and spitting pot of polenta again. Oven baking it is so much cleaner and more convenient. Plus, you don’t need special polenta — just use regular cornmeal.
The recipe called for 1/4 c milk to be stirred in after the polenta is baked, but I forgot to do that […]
