Chana Pulao #SundayFunday

I made this delicious Rice Pilaf with Chickpeas in the Instant Pot.  It makes a hearty meatless meal on its own, but we enjoyed it as a side to our Vietnamese-style baked chicken, which I will be featuring in our next Eat the World Challenge.

Honey Mustard Chicken Foil Packets and the Weekly Menu

This fall has been unseasonably warm, so I took advantage of the Indian Summer and made one last grilling recipe while I still could.

Don't worry if the weather isn't cooperating for the grill.  You can bake these packets in the oven for the same delicious results.

The leaves are changing, the weather is crisp, and the smell of burning leaves and bonfires fills the air.  Fall is here.  It's time to put away the grill, pull out the slow cooker, and serve up this delicious Pork Loin with Cranberry Gastrique.

Wild Mushroom Frittata #SundayFunday

I served up this delicious Wild Mushroom Frittata for lunch while my sister-in-law was visiting from California and had a friend over.  It is a quick, easy, and elegant brunch dish or light dinner.  I served it with a kale salad and croissants.

Banana Chocolate Bundt and the Weekly Menu

I had some overripe bananas on my counter that were beginning to attract fruit flies.  It was time to take action!!  I turned them into a delicious cake to serve my brother and his wife, who were visiting from California.
