Broccoli Lo Mein with Chicken or Pork

Broccoli Lo Mein with Chicken or Pork by Alyssa Short

Broccoli Lo Mein with Chicken or PorkI love Chinese food, and easy access to it is one thing that I really miss since we moved to our itty-bitty community. Along with pizza delivery, grocery stores that are open past 4 p.m. on Sundays, and my sisters-in-law. Not necessarily in that order.I've been cooking a lot more Chinese food at…

Needless to say, Mom loved…

Beef Noodle Skillet

Beef Noodle Skillet by Alyssa Short

Beef Noodle SkilletThis is a quick and easy recipe that we threw together after a long afternoon of sledding and snowblowing recently. It's not fancy fare, but it's tasty, filling, economical, and makes a ton of food. (It also reheats pretty well, if you don't cook the bejeezus out of your noodles.)The idea for this recipe came from…

Triple-Chip Scone Muffins

Triple-Chip Scone Muffins by Alyssa Short

Triple-Chip Scone MuffinsFunny thing about this recipe. I'd pulled it out of a magazine years ago (yes, it was my own magazine), and it looked yummy.

Baked Chicken Drumsticks

Baked Chicken Drumsticks by Alyssa Short

Baked Chicken DrumsticksThis is a very quick, extremely economical, and tasty dish that the hubby really enjoys. I don't eat a lot of chicken drumsticks (I'm a white meat gal), so I had a reverse case of sticker shock when I picked them up at the supermarket. They're unbelievably cheap.The hubby loves chicken legs, and we thought the…
