I don't know about you, but when you move, you find extra things you no longer need. In this case, I have three bottles of red wine that have sat in my basement for a long time. I don't drink on a regular basis anymore and when I do, I don't want to open a [...]

Spring Beef Stroganoff
This week was an adventure. With a refrigerator that is. It took me five minutes to hook up and two hours to get leveled. Yikes. Even one of the doors came off. Thank goodness for the instructions. I was able to get things back on track, whereas Tony was ready to call Home Depot and [...]
Kofta
Floors, floors and more floors. That's what's been going on at our new house. Tony lays the tile, and I come behind him and clean the tile, grout, and remove the grout haze. The tile floors look great. I am glad we are using tile instead of another type of flooring. Way easier to clean. [...]
Swedish Cabbage Casserole – Kålpudding
Things are moving along at the new house. However, the huge pile of beige tile we had in our garage is now down to nothing. This means we had to pull up tile in a part of our current house to place down in our new one. Now I have a bare floor that needs [...]
Beet Chili
I never thought I would ever be using beets in a chili. It's one of those ingredients that doesn't scream "chili" to me. No matter. I still have extra beets to use up and am game for something new. I am starting with a recipe from Wholesome Family Living for Superfood Chili. This chili recipe [...]
Beef Stroganoff Casserole
To say I love Beef Stroganoff is an understatement. When I was a kid, I almost always chose this dish as my dinner on my birthday. I wouldn't turn it down today, either. Why do I love this dish so much? It is creamy, beefy, and filling. I've made many different versions of this dish, [...]
Kharcho: Georgian Beef Stew with Walnuts
This recipe comes from the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Georgia became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991. There are several different regions with their own unique dishes. One of the most famous Georgian dish is Khachapuri, which is an egg and cheese filled yeast leavened bread. There are many others. If you want [...]
Turkish Beans with Pickled Sweet Peppers
I am ALWAYS looking for new recipes. However, I love it even more if I discover a new way to obtain them. As you probably know by now, I love America's Test Kitchen. Since Christopher Kimball left the show a while back, I never really followed him. That is until now. If you never heard [...]
Black Pepper Beef and Cabbage Stir-Fry
I just celebrated by 44th birthday and it made me think about how some people think getting old is something we just do. I am older, but not old. Some parts of aging, like grey hair, perimenopause, and some limitations to my workouts were expected. Do we really have to "get old". For every passing [...]
Beef-Like Stew
Since becoming a vegetarian, I still miss some of my favorite meat-based dishes. Beef stew is one of those dishes. Tony and I definitely like meat. No doubt about it. When it comes to types of vegetarians, I find there are three types: the never liked meat folks, the former meat eaters, and the junkatarian. [...]
