I definitely didn't like broccoli as a kid, until we went to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's home one year.  I'm not sure if it was Doris's recipe or maybe Nina's Mom's . . . and it's entirely possible that I might have changed it to a degree over the years, but this recipe is what inspired me to eat broccoli more often and that's the important part, right?

Ham and cheese is a great combo . . . in grilled sandwiches, on a pizza, or in a quiche.  The person who coined the phrase, "Real men don't eat quiche," must never have eaten one.  Quiche is a super dish on the fly when you need something semi-substantial but don't feel like slaving in the kitchen.

I'm sure you've read me lamenting of my love of bread in the past.  Whole-grain, white, wheat, rye - I'm not a bread snob by any means.  I saw this in USA Weekend and wanted to share it with you. 

I'm not much of a vegetarian, even though I know it's better for you.  I'm sorry - I like meat; however, I found a recipe online by Emilie Sennebogen that sounded intriguing.  It uses lentils and I love lentils.  So, I decided to try it.

Yum!  Pizza & Pasta combo'd into one dish.  Here's a really great recipe for those days when you want to stir something up, throw it in the oven and relax.
