Pumpkin Crumble Pie

Pumpkin Crumble Pie, it's a new take on the traditional Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin pie is good, don't get me wrong, but it's very boring. I ran across this recipe that has a crunchy, maple-y topping. What could be bad about this? Nothing! I will admit, it's not a thing of beauty....

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Yesterday, my daughter, Grace, cleaned out the freezer, cleaned the stove, the pantry, etc. She also made dinner - Caprese Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Quiche, and Brownies. I was told on several occasions to vacate the kitchen! I could get used to this!

Saturday Salad

My brother-in-law, Russell, sent me this Saturday Salad recipe that he made. Little did he know, I've made this salad for years. It's one of my all time favorites. I prepare everything ahead in the morning. It's from “The Cuisine of California” by Diane Rossen Worthington, which was given to me by my friend Barbie. The chicken breasts are first marinated and then baked, and the juices from the baked chicken are used as the basis the fragrant vinegar-garlic dressing.

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman. I've been needing a little comfort food. This fits the bill - creamy and delicious. I bought chicken that was already cut up. You could even use a rotisserie chicken.

Provençal Vegetable Gratin

Here is one way to use up some of your summer vegetable harvest. I actually did not place the sliced vegetables in compact upright rows due to the fact the tomatoes, zucchini and squash were all different sizes. I just cut them up and stirred it all together. You can do it either way, it all tasted the same!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

My friend, Chris, dropped this casserole off for me with some of her home grown tomatoes and peppers. It couldn't have come at a better time. We are putting in a new kitchen and everything was torn out. Also, I was having my last chemo treatment! Yay!

Johnny Marzetti Casserole

I love recipes with a story. I have to say I have never heard of this casserole recipe. The dish originated in Columbus, Ohio, at Marzetti's, an Italian restaurant established in 1896 on Broad St. by an Italian immigrant named Teresa Marzetti. One of the dishes Marzetti offered her customers was a baked casserole of ground beef, cheddar cheese, tomato sauce, and noodles that she named for her brother-in-law Johnny. It was very popular during WWII. The original restaurant closed in 1942, but a second location, opened in 1919 remained in operation until Teresa Marzetti died in 1972. She was also popular for her salad dressings, which you can still buy today. This recipe is very similar to Sour Cream Noodle Bake that I posted recently, minus the sour cream.

BLT with Basil Mayonnaise

BLT with Basil Mayonnaise

BLT with Basil Mayonnaise - If you grow tomatoes, you end up with a "boat load". My husband decided that we would have BLTs for dinner, which is a very good idea. My daughter took a bite and said "Whoa, that's bomb!" I am assuming that "bomb" is a good thing. I think it was by the look on her face! FYI - Adding slices of avocado wouldn't be a bad idea. Then it would be called a BLAT with Basil Mayonnaise.
