It was one of those first days of near-spring when it felt great to be outdoors. Sunny, but with enough chill in the air to sit around the chiminea on the patio and indulge in some crossword puzzles while James stoked the fire with pinon wood, supplemented by fallen branches from the yard. It was… Continue reading Chipotle-Lime Marinated Pork Kebabs

Chicken with Herbed Goat Cheese
Do you remember the first thing you cooked for the love of your life? You might have been a jangle of nerves, hoping to impress with your culinary skills. You may have deliberated for days, wondering if you should attempt something exotic and extravagant, or instead, play it safe and go for the tried and… Continue reading Chicken with Herbed Goat Cheese
Chile Cheese Muffins

The neck of the squash is easy to peel and cube, but the round end… Continue reading Butternut Squash, Nuts and Berries

Meatballs with Tomato Sauce and Wilted Spinach First, prepare the tomato sauce. This is an easy sauce from canned tomatoes, but you can use whatever… Continue reading Meatballs!
