Cooking

Hearty, quick and easy recipes from stir-fries to soups and pasta.

I don’t know about you, but this time of year often brings overnight guests to our house. I was happy to discover the pecan cranberry granola - it's easy, healthy, tasty, and the perfect make-ahead breakfast meal to satisfy hungry guests.

I'm happy to report that our first Fish Friday was easy and a success

This dish is part of the Valentine’s Day-worthy menu suggestion at the back of the cookbook. I was excited to see that I didn’t have to fire up the barbeque and that it incorporated a variety of tasty mushrooms. I picked up some shiitake and oyster mushrooms and set out to make our pre-Valentine’s Day dinner a week or two early, since we will likely never celebrate a romantic dinner on Feb. 14th again—it’s our son’s birthday the same day—I thought that we may as well enjoy this meal with some friends.
