“Waste not, want not” was a phrase I heard a lot in my youth. I always took it to mean that I shouldn’t waste something because I might need it in the future. We all need to use all of our food resources more wisely – and no article makes that case more clearly than National Geographic’s ...

Turkey Tetrazzini – a Neglected Comfort Food
I decided to repurpose half of the Maple-Glazed Quorn Turk’y Roast that survived our Christmas meal to make Turkey Tetrazzini. Turkey Tetrazzini is one of those old fashioned comfort food meals your mom probably made after holidays to save money and to make sure that nothing went to ...
My Maple-Glazed Quorn Turk’y Roast will sweeten up your holiday meal
I've been eager to share the great new recipe I came up with at Thanksgiving for Quorn Turk'y Roast. Unfortunately, in our haste to eat it, I failed to take photos of the finished meal. So, I had to wait until it was almost Christmas to try this out again - and man, it's even better with a ...
My Favorite Polenta and Sausage Dish

How to Stop Hating Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts - the veggie that so many people hate . . . or think they hate. That was my son, Nick . . . until I baited him with Brie - one of his favorite cheeses. I figured if I could create a pasta that featured both Brie and the dreaded Brussels Sprouts, Nick might learn to like the ...
Cheddar-Stuffed Meatloaf Mondays
My carnivore hubby loves meatloaf. So when he asked if we could have meatloaf with my garlic mashed potatoes, how could I refuse? I wanted to do something different than my Mini Meat Loaves from Fool a Carnivore. I was determined to create a dish that looked more like “real meatloaf”. Since meat ...
