Pasta E Fagioli
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been trying different recipes. Last summer I made some wonderful meals using veggies from my garden and the Farmer’s Market. When the gardening started to wind down, something happened to my cooking abilities. Everything I made seemed to flop so… Continue reading Pasta E Fagioli
Vegetables and Tofu in Tomato Sauce
I have been cooking from the Start Simple cookbook by Lukas Volger. It was another Library book. I really enjoyed it. When it was time to bring the book back, I wanted to copy the recipes that I had made and the ones that I wanted to make. While I was making the copies, my… Continue reading Vegetables and Tofu in Tomato Sauce
Erlin’s Hot Dish
I’m not sure who Erlin is or how this hot dish came to be called by this name, but it was my absolute favorite hot dish growing up. This is another hot dish that came from the McKinley School cookbook. Here is the recipe in the cookbook: My meat lover Mom increased the meat by… Continue reading Erlin’s Hot Dish
Today’s Favorite Dishes
I’m sharing a couple of my current favorite dishes. I have a lot of favorites and they change throughout the season and the years.

I liked them together because they are my favorites,… Continue reading Today’s Favorite Dishes
Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit the More You Eat, the More You…
My funny oldest sister gave me this little recipe pamphlet for my birthday. Old Farts Recipes by Anna Laural. It’s pretty funny to read through, but this recipe got my attention. My Grandmother and Mom used to make a version of this recipe when we were kids. I still make it like my Mom once… Continue reading Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit the More You Eat, the More You…
Crispy Chickpeas and Spiced Beef Topping with Pita Bread
This post is about two recipes that I tested. One is the Crispy Chickpeas and Spiced Beef Topping that is from Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street magazine in 2018. I had some delicious hummus leftover from Holy Land Bakery in Northeast Minneapolis (it’s the best!) that I wanted to use up and this recipe seemed to… Continue reading Crispy Chickpeas and Spiced Beef Topping with Pita Bread
Lemon Garlic Chicken
I really liked this dish!! It may not look scrumptious to the eye, but I thought that it tastes great. I found this recipe in a cookbook that I have had for a long time, but rarely gave it much attention- “The Garlic Cookbook” by David DiResta. My plan for the next couple of months… Continue reading Lemon Garlic Chicken
Roasted Chickpeas and Broccoli Burritos
I was looking for a recipe to use the fabulous beans from Rancho Gordo ranchogordo.com and found one in the Thug Kitchen cookbook. The cookbook has a lot of interesting recipes, but the language is over the top. It seems like the author tries too hard to be funny by frequently using the F- word… Continue reading Roasted Chickpeas and Broccoli Burritos
Spaghetti Squash with Black Beans and Cheddar
This recipe was in the Minneapolis Star Tribune paper from Robin Asbell. I choose this recipe because I received a box of Rancho Gordo dried heirloom beans for Christmas this year and wanted to use one of the black beans. What great beans! They are so silky in texture, tasty and quick to cook. I… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash with Black Beans and Cheddar
