Turkey Burger with Feta Cheese and Grilled Onions
There’s nothing like a day off from work. I’m not talking about weekends, I’m talking about a day off during the middle of the week when everyone else is working. Occasionally I take a day or two off to handle things around the house – cooking, cleaning, errands etc. The best part of a day […]

Chicken a la King
If I haven’t mentioned it, I’m an estate sale junkie. To be more specific, I love old kitchen stuff – refrigerator dishes, cookbooks, dinnerware, etc. At one point a few years ago I had a room full of cool things I had bought with the intention of selling them on eBay. Unfortunately that room […]
