Frittata with Italian Sausage, Spaghetti & Tomatoes
I have made many frittatas in my day. It's a great way to use up leftovers. I found a recipe for spaghetti frittata in an elevator in downtown Los Angeles (you will have to click on the link). Anyway, I made this version last night and it was really good and very easy. What I like about frittatas in general, is that they can be eaten hot, warm, room temperature or cold.

Potatoes with Bacon, Apples & Onions
Eric, my husband, was in charge of the side dish to go with the Pork Chops with Figs in Hard Cider. He dug around in the larder and came up with this stellar starchy side!

Pork Chops with Figs in Hard Cider
Williams Sonoma recently posted a recipe for pork with figs. We have an enormous fig tree in the back yard and I am always trying to figure out ways to use them. The crows, squirrels and parrots get most of them. Anyway, I tried this recipe and used pork chops instead of tenderloin. It was excellent and I got to use up some more figs!

Cheesy Potato & Ham Chowder
While surfing the web, found this recipe on an Indiana Farmer's site (yes, you know you are leading an exciting life when you are checking out farmer's websites!). I have no idea why I made it, because I generally hate soup of any kind. It was really delicious and my husband said we need to keep this recipe in the family archives. I added some white pepper to it, but the simplicity is what really makes this soup good. Some crumbled bacon bits would not go amiss as a garnish...

Chili Lime Chicken
The Plethora of Peppers
Our lime tree is so full of limes it's drooping to one side. I also have a ton of red chili peppers in a pot, so I marinated some chicken to use some of it up.

Crispy Baked Pork Chops with Parmesan
This is one of the recipes I found in my stack of magazines over the weekend. It's a Paula Deen (trying to eat healthy) recipe - baked, not fried... PS - I didn't have any flat leaf parsley...

Classic Baked Macaroni & Cheese
Every Monday, I make Macaroni & Cheese for a school, for 11 years. I can only image how much macaroni I've boiled - 10 lbs per week. I guess you could say that I'm fairly good at it. However, this recipe is NOT the school recipe. That one is done on the stove top and this recipe is baked with breadcrumbs. Let's face it, there is nothing better than mac n' cheese.
