Crockpot Baked PotatoesTechnically these are not "baked" as in oven-baked. But this method yields surprisingly close results to the traditional baked potato. I had strong misgivings when I first came across this recipe, but when I tried it I was convinced it's the way to go for a fuss-free "baked" spud. The texture is much better than microwaved. The length… |

Easy Crock Pot OrzoI love the versatility of a crock pot, from desserts, to soups to even this easy orzo side dish. It takes no time to prepare and only a few short hours to cook. Put it on in mid afternoon and it will be ready by dinner. The crock pot makes the orzo so fluffy and delicious. |

Cranberries with Jezebel SauceIf you don't care for the tart tang of cranberries - try this. My dear friend, Gail, serves this dish her way frequently and everyone likes it because it is sweet & spicy and just tangy enough. A great condiment. I've modified Gail's recipe a tad and share it with you. Cranberries will no longer be a Thanksgiving side dish. This… |

Pineapple Rice with Green SoybeansThis colorful rice side or vegetarian entrée is a healthy and novel departure from same-old, same-old steamed rice! I liked it even more next day. Easily adapts to vegetarian. |

Crustless Zucchini PieI use the term “pie” liberally in this recipe. This is not really a pie per say. I did start out thinking I would put this delicious zucchini mixture in a crust, but when it came right down to it, I just couldn’t. I wanted the fresh taste of the vegetables to be the star of the show! |

Shallot Herb Grilled CornMy immersion blender came with a small bowl and attachment that allows it to work like a food processor. I love it. It is great for small quantities such as this margarine rub for corn. I had a smidgeon of the mixture left over and used it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum! |

Oven Roasted ZucchiniI love zucchini. I could eat it every day and often do in the summer. Nothing better than a big plate of zucchini for dinner. This recipe is easy and delicious and brings out a slight sweetness to the zucchini. |

Beans with Burnt EndsBurnt ends are the blackened parts of a brisket that has been smoked. Some people like to cut the ends off, pour on bbq sauce, and cook them another two hours or so, then make sandwiches. I do that, but also add them to beans. Make these with drained pork and beans. |

Budget Cooking
I love to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. But I also live in the real world, and sometimes we all need those quick, easy, processed-food-laden, budget meals. Here's a place to share them.
