Greek Style Pizza
Pizza… is there any food you love more? I hope not! If you’re gonna tell me that you love hamburgers or <gasp> sushi more than you love pizza, this may not be the blog for you. Ok, so maybe Buffalo Wings or a big plate of chili cheese fries might get close to my love…
Crab Cakes Louie
Wow, it’s Fast Fun Friday already! I have a great recipe for today that’s mostly Fast and definitely Fun! It’s Crab Cakes Louie! Uh huh, you’ve never heard of it, right? But maybe you’ve heard of a Crab Louie Salad? It’s a riff on that! And here’s why… ok, I’ll tell why in a second……
Herbed Pork Roast with Root Vegetable Sauce
It’s TBT and I’ve been feeling really nostalgic lately. Fall is my favorite season… the scent of fallen leaves and the way the color of the sunlight is changing… becoming flatter and less yellow, more silver… during the days. It takes me back to my teen years. There were some truly wonderful days that to…
Sweet Walk with the Kokanee Salmon
Have you ever eaten a kokanee salmon? Some will say yes. But have you ever walked with kokanne salmon? Well dang it, that’s exactly what I did on last Thursday in the South Fork of the Boise River of Idaho. Not only did I walk with the salmon, I caught them and then cleaned and…

Chicken Enchiladas Verde
Ok, you caught me… Chicken Enchiladas Verde isn’t exactly a Fast Friday type meal. But hey, the category also says Fun, and this recipe definitely IS fun! Besides, you can always make it the night before and place it in the fridge uncooked, then bake it on Fast Fun Friday when you get home from…
Homemade Spaetzle – So Dang Easy!
Homemade Spaetzle is a such a simple, humble German side dish that I almost didn’t post my super easy recipe… I mean really, Spaetzle for a Throw Back Thursday dish? Really? Well yeah, really! After tossing it around in my head I decided that spaetzle really does deserve a place in my TBT line up. …
Mediterranean Style Chicken Breasts
I know it’s Whatever Wednesdays and I know that I usually don’t do “fancy” stuff on my official day off, but today I just have to share this recipe no matter what day it is. The best part of making this dish? It only takes 30 minutes from fridge to table! The next best part…
Mini Flourless Chocolate Cakes
This week I decided to make one of Tim’s favorite Tuesday Treats… just cuz I love him lots! These are Mini Flourless Chocolate Cakes with a chocolate glaze. Tim loves chocolate! Tim can’t eat a lot of chocolate! Tim can’t eat too much sugar! Tim will eat an entire cake if it’s in plain…
Crispy and Juicy Chicken Wings
Wow, is it MAN-ic Monday already? Where did the weekend go? I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but here in the high plains desert of Idaho, it’s football season! Oh, and the weather is already down to the low 70’s during the day, which makes it perfect weather for lots of cooking…
