It was a last minute decision to stay in for dinner, and therefore to skip the grocery store. I had the double challenge of coming up with something quick, requiring little effort, whilst having the ingredients on hand.. that would make for a nice Sunday night. I managed surprisingly well. Sorry, not [...]

I especially enjoyed planning and cooking Thanksgiving dinner with my mother. I could easily stretch the holidays into an excuse [...]
