A total favorite of mine growing up was cabbage and noodles. What’s not to love buttery cabbage, onions and egg noodles. Turning up the classic a notch I wanted to spice things up, add some meat and play with the flavor. The result was the perfect blend for a comfort filling dish. Products from TJoes…

easy bake quiche
After a day at the wineries, we were all due for a cozy day in. Starting the day off with quiche fills you up for a long haul of resting on the couch. Inspiration here was Tillamook white cheddar cheese from the wine country excursion and ciabatta bread left over that we were supposed to…
with all the trimmings christmas dinner – lovely leg of lamb, scalloped potatoes, acorn squash, green mint jelly and cranberry sauce

It’s a bit chilly out so I challenged the idea of making an asian-themed soup with the opo, bok choy, scallions, beef, ginger…
