Our friends David and Marc were kind enough to walk Tucker while we were at the beach a few weeks ago. Tonight, we’re having them over for a thank you meal. Lately, I’ve been having a hankering for some barbecue chicken. I did a little research this morning and found a recipe from Everyday Food…

strata with sausage & sun-dried tomatoes
Breakfast for dinner? Yes, please. After a week away from home, and hours on the road, I was ready to find a simple meal to prepare for dinner on Sunday night. And who doesn’t like to have breakfast for dinner? It feels like you’re breaking a rule. Let me tell you, this recipe for strata…
southwestern chicken wraps
I’m up to lucky issue #7 in my Everyday Food Challenge. And this just happens to be the wonderful Thanksgiving edition of the magazine. Think that might create a problem in picking a dish to make in the middle of a 90 degree summer in northeast Ohio? Think again. The Southwestern Chicken Wraps recipe screams…
a difficult s(tart) to this week’s challenge
Welcome back to my Everyday Food Challenge. This week I bring you two recipes and a tale of a shopping struggle. So, after going back through issue #6, I had decided I’d definitely be making the Lemon Ricotta Tart. I mean come on, lemon and cheese. Um, yes please. The problem, I didn’t own a…
butterscotch bark (the short and sweet post)
Heat wave. It’s been entirely too hot this week to even think about firing up both the oven and stove for a proper meal. Yet I still had my Everyday Food Challenge to complete for the week. I went back through issue #5 looking for something that wouldn’t require a great deal of work (that’s…

hello summer, hello basil. i think i love you.
As I mentioned in my post yesterday. There has been pesto making at the Sterling-Derr homestead. As I was watering the herbs, veggies and flowers, I noticed an evil pesky beetle dining on one of my basil leaves. I guess I can’t fault the little guy, he knows a good thing. But I was going…
grilled portobello quesadillas
My Everyday Food Challenge continued today. It was time to cook from issue #4 from July/August 2003. And let me just say thank you, from the bottom of my very happy stomach, for voting for the Grilled Portobello Quesadilla. It’s not something that I would normally cook, and it was an absolutely gorgeous evening to…
vegetable lasagna
Here’s your selection from this week’s Everyday Food Challenge. The always tasty vegetable lasagna. The recipe gave me two options. I could use store-bought tomato sauce, or make my own with the recipe that was included. I thought it was important to make my own, in the spirit of the challenge. So I did, and…
lemon pie with pecan crumb crust
I’m back with the Issue #3 installment of my Everyday Food Challenge. Last week the readers voted for me to make the Vegetable Lasagna. You’ll read about that tomorrow. For now, let’s deal with dessert first. One of the runners-up in the voting was the Lemon Pie with Pecan Crumb Crust. It was also the…
