Sticky Toffee Date Cake with Bourbon Glaze
I made Ina Garten's Sticky Toffee cake from her Cookbook, Foolproof. You should have been there to hear the OMGs! All I can say is WOW and yes, it's Foolproof! PS - I used a springform pan, which worked beautifully.

Tamale Pie
This Tamale Pie takes less then 5 minutes to throw it in a casserole dish! The Trader Joe's "tasting station" is a place for some culinary inspiration. It's where they hand out samples for you to try. I almost always buy whatever they are demoing. It was this tamale pie. I am not a big fan of polenta (unless it's crispy), but I have to say I really liked this dish. It's something you could have in your pantry. You could even make it vegetarian by using vegetarian chili instead of chicken or turkey. The original recipe calls for a jar of their Cowboy Caviar, but I actually used the corn salsa instead.

Mustard Maple Chicken
Try this Mustard Maple Chicken. It's tangy and sweet and so easy to make. You don't even have to marinate the chicken. It would also be good on pork.

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
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
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!
