Beef Stew is a great way to use up your fresh vegetables before they go bad or if you want a complete meal in a bowl. Stew meat with potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, diced tomatoes, garlic and herbs. This is a fool proof meal that will leave you wanting more. Layer the potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, Worcestershire sauce and […]
Can you substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs? Absolutely, but it’s not a one-for-one swap. The general rule for substituting fresh herbs for dried herbs is to use three times the amount of chopped fresh herbs for the dried herbs called for in a recipe (and vice versa).

Most people would make this an appetizer, I made it a meal! Full of cream cheese, fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, garlic, herbs and seasonings topped with more parmesan cheese. Thirty minutes in the oven and it’s ready to eat. Spray an 8” oven safe dish with cooking oil. Put spinach into a large bowl, cover and microwave on […]

I make mine up ahead of time then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. It was nice to get all […]
Since it is the end of the garden season, I decided to make my husband this delicious Oil Free Tomato and Onion Salad. This was so full of flavor with fresh basil, garlic, onion, oregano and a red wine vinegar marinade that it didn’t need any oil. In a medium bowl add the onion, basil, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano. […]
Crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. These canned biscuits are topped with butter, garlic, fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You don’t even need to butter these cheesy topped biscuits because the butter is already in there. Place the biscuits in a oven safe dish or cast iron pan. Chop parsley and grate Parmesan cheese. […]
How long has it been since you replaced your ground spices or dried herbs? Have you noticed your regular recipes aren’t tasting like they usually did?
