EZ Lasagna My Way

EZ Lasagna My Way by Glenn

I have a love-hate relationship with lasagna. I hate the difficulty of making it and I usually don't like the taste of fresh lasagna right out of the oven. I love re-heated lasagna (even if you re-heat in in a microwave parching machine). Something tastes better the second time around. So here it is my EZ (Easy is just too…

Garlic Lovers Chicken

Garlic Lovers Chicken by Patti Fisher

Chicken was on sale this week and Patti found a beauty, it was over 7lbs. so we had plenty left over for an awesome spontaneous picnic the next day with cold chicken. The sauce was simple with lots of flavor. Ken especially loved the 40 or so cloves of garlic. The longer garlic cooks the sweeter it gets. Plus, with our Pacific Living…

Shepherd's Pie for lazy cooks

Shepherd's Pie for lazy cooks by Glenn

You can make this a hearty meat celebration, heavy with veggies or just a cleansing of the pantry dish. All of my measurements are "ish" meaning they are close to what is listed but nothing is critical so you can cut back on what you don't like and add more of what you do like. Let's just say, "Prepare to taste." You can replace…

There are many variations of stuffed bread, but in our home, as I was growing up, my mother excelled in baking stuffed bread. Sometimes she used vegetables and sometime a variety of cheese and meat . Mostly it was served with sauce on top, but sometimes we had it as a main course. Do not be afraid to try many things in stuffed…

Roast Pork with Maple-Mustard Glaze & Sauce

Roast Pork with Maple-Mustard Glaze & Sauce by Robyn Savoie

Did you know? New York produces more maple syrup than Vermont. And pig farms are a major industry. Maple syrup combined with mustard and sage lets the flavors of a good pork loin sing. I suggest serving this roast with sautéed apples, another major New York State crop, and crisp-tender green beans.

Reuben Casserole

Reuben Casserole by Glenn

I love Reuben sandwiches and wanted to have another way of enjoying this hearty treat. So I created this casserole using a homemade Thousand Islands dressing without the mayo. It takes some pre-planning but is very well worth it. Enjoy!

Chopstick Tuna

Chopstick Tuna by Glenn

Got this from the Lititz Church of the Brethren cookbook, credited to Mim Hershey and it surprised me. It was simple to prepare yet had a taste that was surprisingly complex. I don't usually like nuts in my casseroles but this one worked perfectly. I recommend this recipe to anyone in a hurry who needs to make a good impression.
