Parmesan Potato Pancakes 2007-10-10 20:12:29 Today was our first taste of autumn weather in Ohio with high temps in the 50s. It has been abnormally warm and dry over the past month with highs mostly in the 80s. Traditionally, we would have possibly had a light frost by this time. There has been no frost yet. Many summer flowers remain [...] Read more:Pancakes

Oktobearfest 2007-10-06 20:47:31
It’s October and time for Oktoberfest! Actually, Oktoberfest is celebrated just about anytime during September or October in these parts. Cleveland has a large Oktoberfest on Labor Day weekend. Cincinnati with its heavy German heritage has one of the biggest I have seen in late September. At most, there is an abundance of German food, [...]
Chicken Parmesan 2007-10-06 08:27:43 Our week on the Outer Banks is coming to a close. One day left. It’s been a fun week of good company and conversation around meals that we cooked. Last night it was my turn to make dinner. I made this chicken Parmesan
and fresh basil marinara spaghetti. The sauce is an excellent recipe shared [...] Read more:Chicken

Fajita Chicken Pita Pizzas 2007-10-03 08:03:19 Today we took a lighthouse sightseeing road trip down the Outer Banks. We started the day by driving 80 miles to the Orange Blossom Bakery near the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Their apple uglies were highly recommended by friends and locals. They were yummy. In Ohio, we call them apple fritters.
Getting home right after sunset, we [...] Read more:Chicken

Fruits of the Vine 2007-09-29 19:57:40 America’s thirst for wine is definitely on the upswing. It’s very evident here in Ohio. Small wineries are popping up all over state.

Our [...] Read more:Fruits
Glazed Apple Pie Bars 2007-09-25 20:48:22 Apples are abundant and at their peak right now. Many varieties are still on the trees. Autumn is a time I cook with apples. Baking with apples is even better. I can’t recall the origin of this recipe. I know that I have had it for 6-7 years. It is a nice party or potluck [...] Read more:Apple

Soups on! 2007-10-14 11:13:50 It’s soup season! I rarely make soup in warm weather. There is something about that first hint of cool weather that gets me thinking of soups and stews. You can see that in last week’s post for Savory Baked Vegetable Stew. I tend to gravitate towards hearty soups that can stand as a meal on [...]
Savory Baked Vegetable Stew 2007-10-12 20:57:48 Today was a beautiful autumn day. The temperature hovered in the mid 50s and the leaves are turning color. After a rainy morning, the afternoon was bright and sunny. It’s high school football weather in Ohio.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts 2007-10-18 19:21:26 You will not turn up your nose to Brussels
sprouts after making this side dish. My father loved Brussels sprouts. My mother boiled them until they were soft and served them covered in butter. The house reeked of Brussels sprouts. This is also the cooking technique used by most cafeterias and restaurants. Although I love [...] Read more:Roasted

Hot Dishing 2007-10-28 11:07:21 Casserole Recipes
America has a taste for Casseroles. The staple of potluck dinners and family gatherings has been around for centuries.

Double K Grilled Salmon 2007-11-11 20:20:33 Today was my first day where I had free time to cook. The evenings last week were spent working on projects and in meetings. I really needed some free time. Today was perfect for cooking. It was a cool, rainy day with nothing to do.
For lunch I made my favorite low fat black bean soup. [...] Read more:Grilled
Mmmmm Lasagna 2007-11-11 18:01:44 Just like Garfield, I love Lasagna
. Layers of cheese, sauce, meat and pasta stack up to make a classic Italian specialty. No one would dispute the fact that lasagna is one of the most recognizable Italian dishes. In doing some research, I found that a recipe for lasagna was printed in a 14th century British [...]
Cinnamon Gelatin Salad 2007-11-11 17:11:37 I have been so busy at work and attending meetings every evening this past week. I wasn’t able to cook very much or post a recipe.

Apple Pie Sweet Potatoes 2007-11-14 19:41:48 At my house, oven space is at a premium on Thanksgiving morning. Last year I came across this recipe for sweet potatoes in Desperation Dinners, a syndicated recipe column. I found it interesting that it was microwaved and not baked.

Reduced-Fat Black Bean Soup 2007-11-12 18:56:00 I never thought that I would like black bean soup. I guess I based that opinion on the unappealing color and a preconceived notion that black beans would not taste good. Once I ordered it for lunch on a lark and realized that I did indeed find it quite tasty.
I found this recipe in my [...] Read more:Black
