Did someone say Burgers?
It’s summer….
It’s time for burgers….
In winter we love meatloaf; in summer we love giant stuffed burgers.
You could make smaller burgers, but we like the big one.
Cut it into wedges and let the cheese ooze out of the … Continue reading..... “Giant Burger Stuffed with Mushrooms; Lunch”
Two potato recipes in one week?
Get over it….. There are more pressing issues to concern yourselves with.
This is another recipe that I have been making so long the origin is lost.

Smoked pasta?
You’ve never had smoked pasta?
It is, without a doubt, the best dish of summer.

Most of the spinach was turned into soup.… Continue reading..... “Ham, Egg and Spinach Salad”
Did I mention that the chard is exploding?
I was paying such close attention to the lettuces and spinach that I ignored the chard.
When I looked the chard leaves were rather large…..
I prefer smaller chard leaves and stems – for everything but stuffing.… Continue reading..... “Stuffed Chard Leaves, the update”

Bread Baking Babes bask in the brew.
Natashya, of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies, our host kitchen for this month, was striving for efficiency.
