OAMC:Once A Month Cooking-Chicken & Noodles

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 […]

Once A Month Cooking: Shepherd’s Pie

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 […]

Not Your Mom’s Tuna Tetrazzini

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….

Summer Salads

I like salads in the summertime because they are quick, easy and often, do-ahead. This one is from an old favorite, Moosewood Restaurant Low Fat Favorites, and is surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because I do low fat kicking and screaming. I give up sugar much easier than I give up olive oil, mayo, bacon, […]

Classic Lasagne

Lasagne is, I think, Marc’s very favorite dinner. When I make it I make a HUGE pan of it..actually the pan is not a 13×9 as it may look but a 26x 18…This recipe is for a 13x 9 since I don’t know many people that have to cook lasagne in the portions that I […]
