I had to make Chicken Corn Chowder a while back for a friend who was having surgery. And then I had to make it again and again, just to test it, mind you. And then, oops, I did it again, it’s that good!

Epic Apple Salad with Apple Honey Vinaigrette
There are a couple of things I just crave this time of year, after the Holidays and before Spring, and this Epic Apple Salad with Apple Honey Vinaigrette is one of them. Another is soup, especially healthy ones like The Original Fat Burning Soup here on my site.

Quick Corn & Bell Pepper Maque Choux
I’m pretty wild about my Quick Corn & Bell Pepper Maque Choux, and I hope you’ll be, too. It’s got to be the perfect end of summer dish; a great transition into the heavier, comfort foods of fall.

Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs
It’s been a while since I’ve willingly eaten any hot dog other than at a ballpark. (I miss the St. Paul Saints now that I’m in Atlanta!) Due to the generosity of others, we’ve found ourselves with an abundance of hot dogs. Most of the kids like them as is, of course, but as an adult, I needed a little incentive. I decided to revive a childhood fave: Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs.

Homemade Canadian Donair
These days simple do-able recipes with a high pay off have been my mainstay. Do Homemade Canadian Donair qualify? I think so. And while these sandwiches might look restaurant quality (and the idea DID come from one, Occo Kitchen & Bar, I saw on Diner’s, Drive-Ins & Dives and here’s the video) these lovely Canadian versions of the Gyro are much easier than you’d guess,. especially if you view it as a mostly a “make ahead” meal. Gotta love that!
