Sauteed Mushrooms – Slim Style! Low Sodium!

Don’t deprive yourself of mushrooms as an appetizer. Try Mushrooms – Slim Style and you may come to like these better than the ones deep-friend or…

Cheese + Cake = Cheesecake
When it comes to food there are some things you just do not mess with. Pure lemon juice is just that, pure lemon juice. No fillers. No artificial anything. Peanut butter should be peanut butter. Not peanuts mushed together with corn syrup, mounds of salt, and emulsified beyond reason. Steak is steak. Macaroni and cheese…

Bay Leaves – To Eat or Not To Eat!
Years ago while in a High School Home Economics class, in which only girls were allowed to participate at the time (can you believe it?) we were told to never, never, never eat bay leaves. Bay leaves were poisonous and could do nasty things to your body. Hmm, but yet we put them our soups,…

My Favorite Beef Stew! Savory and Delicious!
Beef stew is so perfect. I always get a great deal of satisfaction just from making it. It makes me feel, hmmm, don’t know exactly what the right word is, but it makes me feel ‘right’ with the world. The savory aroma fills the house and is welcoming in itself. Beef stew is made in…

What’s A Gas Streak Doing In My Kitchen?
Cooking shows abound everywhere, and I must admit I watch a good share of them. Sometimes I watch with full attention, sometimes with half an ear tuned in to what is happening on the screen. Either way I have picked up some useful information, some good ideas, and a few recipes worth jotting down for…

“But I Don’t Want to Go To Jail!”
Many years ago while growing up in Wisconsin I vividly remember illegal margarine and being very, very, terrified of just seeing that spread on our table! Really? Really! Wisconsin, being a dairy state had laws pertaining to the protection of butter. Butter had to be used in restaurants, in schools and other institutions. Margarine, technically…
