No, there's not a lot about me here. I'm a writer (of books), cook, and normal person, most of the time. I'll tell you a little about my life in my posts but not much (I'm kind of boring). After all, the filler is the food, not my life story! And if, "food is love," I hope you are filled to capacity. And cook to fill others, too!

What to Make With Plantains? A Savory Ground Turkey Casserole

The casserole I'm posting today is a great way to cook plantains that isn't sugary or fried. Although the dish is Dominican-style, the recipe contains quite a few modifications for our tastes. The dish uses fairly inexpensive ingredients and is easier than than making a pan of lasagna. I've relied on ground turkey in this version of the dish rather than ground beef, but, if you'd prefer the beef, go ahead and use 93 percent lean beef to minimize the fat. The plantains, wh

Tired of Cooking Dinner: Bacon and Cheese Quiche

I'm tired of cooking. Are you? We've probably been making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for weeks now, many of us, with no meals out, no takeout, no respite.

A small amount of creamy, luxurious goat cheese turns simple scrambled eggs into something special. Well-spiced ground turkey mixed with apples for moistness makes a healthy sausage accompaniment, as do the sautéed sweet plantains.

Breakfast for Dinner?

One of our favorite places for dinner is known in our house as "Sin City." It's actually IHOP (International House of Pancakes). Perhaps that sounds like a strange favorite, but we like breakfast for dinner periodically. Why "Sin City"? Because most of what's available on the breakfast menu is enough food for at least two people, and the calorie, fat, and salt content of the breakfasts is pretty much unmentionable. Once upon a time, IHOP printed in their menus the calori

Something New, Weird, and Different

Today's posting really isn't weird--perhaps just a little different from most Wednesday night suppers. I'm offering you a recipe for a Plantain Casserole that is Dominican-style but contains quite a few modifications for our tastes. The dish uses fairly inexpensive ingredients and is easier than than making a pan of lasagna. I've relied on ground turkey in this version of the dish rather than ground beef, but, if you'd prefer the beef, go ahead and use 93 percent lean beef

Where are all the advertisements?

I hate them, so I'm not including them! I'll figure out how to "monetize" the site/blog later--much later (or maybe never). For now, enjoy the ideas, recipes, and food and please post the links on your social media so others can enjoy the food!
