Bringing "back in the day" back to today
This spinach, ham and cheese quiche recipe is so easy and quickly became an unexpected family favorite. It’s so simple that my four year old makes the filling while I make the crust! This is a basic recipe that can be adapted to suit your individual tastes. Although the recipe calls for half and half, …
This recipe is my hat tip to Vermont. We live on the eastern side of NY, which puts us in reasonable driving distance to Vermont. We don’t get there very often, but whenever we go we have a good time. One of those times we attended one of my friend’s weddings at Stratton Mountain Resort. …

When faced with left over turkey meatballs, in our house we choose between eating meatball pizza or meatball subs. This week meatball subs won. Sticking to our “no purchased bread” rule meant figuring out how to make sub rolls. My quest resulted in the ugly ducklings pictured above. Do not let these pictures discourage …
My weekly menu posting declares that this is house favorites week and that is no lie. I would say that this recipe ranks #1 as our family favorite (Eric correct me if I’m wrong). Chicken Milano draws actual cheers from the children (ok, and the adults too) whenever it makes the dinner rotation. We are a family …
Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic meal that is beloved by both adults and children. Every family must have a slam dunk meatball recipe. Dumping frozen meatballs out of a bag does not count!
