The only Shepherd’s Pie I’ve ever eaten was from the school cafeteria when I was a kid. They used ground beef and canned peas and carrots (often mushy) and I detested it! This past week, I received a pound of ground lamb from a neighbor and decided to try making my own version of Shepherd’s…

Skillet Chicken and Noodles

Pork Pozole
Tom Douglas is a big name in the restaurant business here in Seattle. His chefs recently started preparing dishes for Lish (an online meal delivery service). Last week, I tried the Smoky Pork Pozole and loved the flavors! I knew I had to try and recreate it. Most of the recipes I found online used…

A Moroccan Theme Christmas Eve Dinner
I like to make new dishes for Christmas Eve dinner that is different from the standard ham or turkey. This year, I chose to do a Moroccan theme since I fell in love with the food during my visit last June. Below is my menu along with the recipes (or links to them). PS –…

The result was a very tasty recipe that was very easy and didn’t take long to make. Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked penne pasta (I used Bianaturae’s GF) 8 oz. Italian sausage (ground –…
