Stuffed Comfort Food Quesadillas

My husband was heading home for lunch and I had no idea what to make…hmmmm…tortillas. Could make plain Quesadillas. But, then, I spotted the spinach and the pot roast and a plan formed. You really can put just about anything in a quesadilla…covered with melty cheese you can’t lose. Even…

Orange and Thyme Basmatti Rice

Spruce Up Your Rice

The other night we had rice for dinner…in fact, it was even the frozen kind from Trader Joe’s that you heat in the microwave…pretty basic. We were also having roasted chicken and I had squeezed fresh orange juice over it when it was hot from the oven. And, we were…

Irresistible Chewy Rocky Road Brownies

My family likes chewy brownies. Tonight…I finally made a brownie that remained chewy, but has toppings to keep it interesting. This recipe is a keeper! While they were cooking, the marshmallows smelled like they are roasting over a fire. When they come out of the oven, the walnuts were all…
