Pork and Beef Chili

Tis the chili season.  This cold weather got our family craving a big bowlful of spicy and meaty pork and beef chili.  And so that is what the whole family clan ate this past Sunday.  And that is what I am recommending you eat this coming Sunday.  It’s the Super...

Broccolini and Bacon Quiche

This Broccolini and Bacon Quiche is just what you need on Sunday morning after a party.  It can be made in advance and is easily reheated with barely any effort for guests in the a.m.  This was precisely what I wanted this morning. And if you are like me, you’ll...

Egg White Frittata with Tomatoes and Arugula

Egg White Frittata with Tomatoes and Arugula

  I am in need of an intervention.  An Egg White Frittata with Tomatoes and Arugula Intervention. You see I have been a bad girl.  My efforts at “being healthy” this week have failed miserably.  In part, it isn’t my fault.  I have that killer cold...
