Family house guests
If you think you’re a reasonably good cook, it’s fun to have the company. You get an entirely new audience to show off for. We’ve had Crumb-topped Swordfish, Mediterranean Pizza, Oven-baked Chicken, and a picnic kind of dinner with grilled tri-tip. Then Saturday night our guest made her famous enchiladas, known far and wide within …
Mediterranean Pizza
I have recently heard a certain amount of audible . . . discontent, let’s say, about tomato-sauced pizza, and a desire to have something else. Being the agreeable sort, I looked for an alternative. From Bread If you’ve got a pizza stone, put it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. 6 oz. …

When your menu is set from the outside
Today is National Pancake Day, so that’s what’s on for dinner this evening. I see that this “holiday” is one of those announced by a corporate entity with an axe to grind (or pancake to flip), similar to all those that seem to have been invented by Hallmark, but that’s okay. Break out the Bisquick …

Who’s got a tradition for Christmas morning food while opening presents? With us it’s cinnamon rolls and pigs-in-a-blanket.
