Everyone loves spinach and artichoke dip. How do you improve this classic? Add everyone’s favorite crescent dough bread! This is the perfect Christmas treat because you can make it into a Christmas tree! See note below. This year, I didn’t form a tree, but if you would like to do so, read the note.

Instant Pot Chicken with an Apricot-Ginger Glaze
Healthy turmeric gives this dish a golden glow to make any child want to eat their dinner. My daughter calls it Golden Chicken – it’s like she’s hit the jackpot of dinners. After a long afternoon arguing a case before the Appellate Division, and then rushing to get the kids to the tutor, I threw […]

Asian Beef
Who needs take-out when you have a slow cooker? This easy recipe is as simple as dumping some items in the slow cooker in the morning, and having dinner ready when you get home. I served my beef with a quick napa cabbage stir fry on the side.
Canned Jalapeno Peppers
As a little girl, my Yiayia loved her tomato plants. We would have so many tomatoes, that the only thing to do was to can them. I tried to follow in her footsteps with growing tomatoes, but my squirrels love them. So I’m left with the only thing the squirrels hate – jalapenos! But apparently, […]
Stuffed Cabbage, Collard Greens, and Peppers
As a child, my Yiayia would make stuffed grape leaves (dolmades to some, or Koupepia for us Cypriots). They were delicious, but so much work! Having helped her roll grape leaves as a child, when my farm share delivered me a bunch of cabbage, collard greens, peppers, and napa cabbage (all in the same week), […]
No Fuss Chicken Teriyaki
In less than 20 minutes, I was able to assemble 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 1 dinner for 4, while also getting the kids on the school bus (with 2 seconds to spare). This simple crock pot meal lets you look forward to a healthy, home-cooked dinner after a long day at the office.
Easy Italian Sausage and Peppers featuring Turkey-Sausage Meatballs in Homemade Sauce
Sweet Italian sausage has a distinctive, delicious flavor in large part due to the fennel seeds that are used. Given store-bought sausage is not very heart-healthy, I modified it by taking the same seasoning base and adding it to low-fat ground turkey meat (or you can use ground chicken). I made them into “meat balls”, […]

“Creamy” Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie (Minus the Pie)
My husband asked me to lighten up my chicken pot pie recipe so that the carbs were limited. I came up with this slow cooker recipe that I prepped over the weekend. It made my busy week so much easier because at lunch time (while working from home), I was able to throw in the […]
Escarole and Beans
I knew going into this week due to briefing deadlines that I would have zero time to cook. So Sunday was spent preparing the week’s meals helping me to just reheat on a busy night. Take tonight – in addition to filing a large brief, I had 3 Zoom meetings all after 5 PM, so […]
Peachy Pork Chops
Fresh peaches and a honey-balsamic reduction provide a tasty way to transform the other white meat into a mouth-watering dinner.
