Posted by Tastefully Simple on November 16, 2012
Ah, Thanksgiving … how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: There is not gift-giving pressure, you don’t need a costume or a date, there are no secrets to keep, no mythical creatures to embody and no political connotations. Thanksgiving is all about family and food – two of my favorite things! It’s read more »

It’s the changing of the seasons here in Minnesota … sweartshirts are coming out of storage boxes, crops are being harvested and apple trees are loaded with fruit. A few years ago, my husband planted two apple trees in our backyard. Year 1: nothing. Year 2: an apple (yes … AN apple). It’s been a read more »

Corned Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry
Posted by Tastefully Simple on March 10, 2011
I love corned beef and cabbage … but only when someone else cooks it! My Irish friends say, “Oh that! ‘Tis nothing to make it!” But my corned beef never quite turns out as tender and tasty as I’d like. Plus, making it does seem like a project to me. I suppose it’s because “my read more »
Corn Black Bean Chicken or Turkey Enchiladas
