Here we are….finally made it to the last stop on our journey to create an ethnic meal out of our Thanksgiving leftovers. Mexico! What a great place to try and get creative with that leftover, semi-dry turkey breast staring at you from the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Super easy and a great alternative to […]
Cheesy Breakfast Potato Pancakes
A couple of weeks ago Gary and I went to a local diner for breakfast and the special was potato pancakes.

There’s No Place Like Joe’s….

Mozzarella, Feta, Tomato, and Cilantro Grilled Pita Sandwiches

Easy Lebanese Lentils and Rice (Mujaddara)

Easy Indian Spinach and Potato Curry (Aloo Saag)
Aloo Saag, or saag for short, really takes spinach and potatoes to another level. But let’s get one thing out in the open right now: Saag looks something awful and disgusting…. A green, mushy blob with cubed potatoes. But I will stand on top of the kitchen table and say it from the top […]
