If you have never had beef brisket you have never lived in Texas. A huge beef brisket is a must have at nearly any summer celebration from Memorial Day to a family reunion, and there are as many arguments about making a good one as there are about whether or not Texas should succeed from […]

Summer is the time for cook-outs for sure. When you can make homemade, delicious (soft!) hot dog and hamburger buns in less than an hour why in the world would you buy them?
Did I say less than an hour? Yep!
These freeze well so you can make them ahead of time. If you […]

I usually think of this casserole in the fall when the weather is cooling down but it is one of those that the family loves any time of the year, and so when I found ham on clearance at the grocers the other day this was an immediate thought. You can add buttered, […]

If you are looking for a fabulous main course, Italian dish that is easy to make, and freezes great try this Torta Rustica. There are so many ways to make it that the recipe is almost needless.
Add whatever cheese-vegetable-meat combo you want,( this one was vegetarian) and bake in your pizza crust until […]

When I was growing up in Eastern Pennsylvania we always called this chicken pot pie. Later, after moving south, I was informed that it is chicken and noodles. Ah well, whatever. It is chicken, it is pasta, it is comfort food, and it is wonderful. Best of all you can use it […]

Shepherd’s Pie is one of Marc’s favorites from my once a month cooking repertoire and it is really easy to make. It is one of those comfort foods, I think, at least in my family.
The thing is, that there are a lot of steps to it so I don’t make it as much as […]

I found out that I make Calzone wrong. Apparently, by adding the sauce to the inside of my calzone I am making a stromboli…except I don’t roll it right. So, this dish might better be called a calzon-boli.
I like the whole aspect of doing OAMC but a big, frozen pizza is, by my standards, […]

Pasta has to be the coolest food on earth. You can serve it hot or cold, side dish, main course, soup, salad or even dessert and…best of all..it is quick and easy. How can anyone go wrong with that?
Uh…well…there is the overcooked mush with canned Ragu….
I was digging around in the pantry the other […]

If you will look to your right, in the box marked “pages” you will see that I have added a small tutorial to explain how to do Once a Month Cooking (OAMC) .
If you have decided to become more organized this year, if you have resolved to be a better manager, or if you just […]

I never understood the need for people to pick up the brown and serve rolls when they could make homemade dinner rolls themselves so easily. Saying that, I must hang my head in shame and admit that I do buy them each year as an addition to the breads I make because my […]
