You can put all sorts of different cut up foods into a pancake. All you need is a solid pancake recipe to start with, then add what you want want. Sautéed apples and a dash of cinnamon.

I remember years ago when microwaveable French bread pizza was all the rave. But the thought of microwaving pizza, or any bread for that matter, makes me cringe just a little. I don’t even reheat pizza in the microwave. Microwaving always seems to turn perfectly good pizza into a sad, rubber crusted, weirdly textured cheese, … Continue reading
This kebab is a beautiful and aromatic blend of lamb, beef, herbs and spices. And, it’s easy to prepare in advance, freeze and grill as needed. In fact, I recommend freezing them so that the meat sticks well to the skewer. Fair warning though – our first “test batch” of these kebabs were gobbled … Continue reading
My neighbor, Drew, brought back a GRIP of saffron (as well as several other herbs and spices) from the Middle East on his last visit. SCORE! This saffron made a gorgeous rice, which was center-carb at our niece’s graduation party a couple of weeks back. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. … Continue reading

Leftover ham and cheese? Ham and cheese pocket! Leftover tacos? Taco pocket! Leftover meatballs? Meatball pocket! Here, I … Continue reading
A while back, CPM was obsessed with figuring out the perfect, scratch-made BBQ Baked Beans – you know – from dried beans – the real deal. We traded bean recipes and little crocks of BBQ beans back and forth for a whole summer trying to get our beans straight. Most of the recipes were came … Continue reading
This recipe came by way of some “leftovers” in the fridge – a sheet of puff pastry and a couple small amounts of random pudding. Oh, and the desire for a good dessert! The result was incredible! And the textures and flavors just kept on coming! Couldn’t stop eating it. I used banana and pistachio … Continue reading
