    Spicy Orange Chicken

    July 17, 2021 - By Karen

    Dennis and I love a good Chinese restaurant.  We tend to always order the same dishes – beef and broccoli and Kung Pao Chicken.  When we were newlyweds, we had a favorite restaurant in York that spoiled us.  It has been 20 years since we moved and we still have…

    Tofu and Bok Choy – No animals were harmed in the making of this dish.

    January 25, 2021 - By Dennis

    So most of the cooking posts here are from Karen, but this time I, Dennis, am going to talk about the meal. Tonight was a perfect storm so to speak. First: I am a lover of peanut sauce. Second: The kids got Karen a vegan cookbook for her birthday. And…

    Tangy Shrimp Scampi over Puff Pastry

    January 18, 2021 - By Karen

    Decided to take what is usually an appetizer and make it the main course. We used to get this shrimp appetizer in a restaurant in York, PA which has long since closed. It was one of our favorites and I honestly can’t remember what all might have been in the…

    Spicy Chicken Stroganoff

    December 21, 2020 - By Karen

    When Den picked up the mini bella mushrooms last week he also grabbed a few large portabellas but forgot to tell me. Tonight he said, “Let’s use these.” So I started thinking Chicken Marsala but instead settled on a spicy chicken stroganoff type dish (I guess by now you can…

    A Quick Dinner Fix

    December 9, 2020 - By Karen

    We ordered grocery delivery this weekend for a Tuesday afternoon arrival.  We tried the service out to share with my parents to help take the burden off of my siblings.  Once the groceries arrived, they spilled out into the kitchen.  The service exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it…

    Roasted Garlic Shrimp on Cauliflower Mash

    December 3, 2020 - By Karen

    Tonight was about experimenting with cauliflower and taking care of my recent shrimp craving. In looking for inspiration, I found a recipe for roasted garlic. I’ve eaten it many times but haven’t cooked it in a while. In my creative quest, I quickly thought about adding it to the cauliflower,…

    Sausage Kale Potato Soup

    December 2, 2020 - By Karen

    Today was “clean out the refrigerator day” and I found some kale that we purchased on a walk to the local amish farm. I was sure that it was going to be bad but to my surprise it wasn’t wilted and would make a great component for tonight’s dinner. I…

    Crockpot Chicken Alfredo for Two

    November 1, 2020 - By Karen

    For my first post (remember, this blog stuff is brand new to me) I’m going to do a crockpot chicken recipe for two. Most recipes I have are family sized and we end up with lots of leftovers. Den doesn’t mind (he says some people eat to live, he lives…
