Zucchini and Ground Beef Orzo Casserole

Ground beef and zucchini make a great pairing is this surprisingly light casserole. There’s enough creamy cheese and orzo pasta to make this taste indulgent, but the zucchini plays a role too, as it has a naturally buttery taste and silky texture, both of which are enhanced by baking. And if the...

Homemade Hatch green chile stew with warmed flour tortillas. The ultimate comfort food.

It's been a tradition in my family for nearly 50 years. The day after Thanksgiving we enjoy a meal consisting of Tamales, Posole, red chile, pinto's, rice and warmed flour tortillas. Mexican lager, amber ale or locally crafted wine is usually served as the celebratory beverages. Non alcoholic beverages available for the young and alcohol intolerant. The important thing is that we are together. A challenging piece of the equation given this damnable virus. Enjoy!

The annual day after Thanksgiving sandwich. Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, sliced stuffed green olives, lots of mayo, all on sheepherder bread. A celebration carried on by my entire family across two states.

Thanksgiving leftovers. Maybe a beer or two.

Pulled the last servings of turkey vegetable soup from the freezer. Warmed it up and made home made biscuits. The kitchen sure smelled good.

First homemade pizza of the fall. I mixed up the dough yesterday, let it rise for 2 1/2 hours and then put it in the fridge overnight so everything could get happy. Made a sauce with San Marzano tomatoes, mushrooms and sweet Italian sausage. It usually takes me a couple of bakes to dial in my procedure. But tonight I nailed it first shot. I also made a salad with mixed greens, candied walnut, sliced apples, dried cranberries, Gorgonzola and vinaigrette. Local craft ale to drink for the chef. Yumm...

Looks like it's going to be leftover BLAND homemade lasagna. Any ideas to enhance it?

A nice salad and garlic bread. Maybe a nice glass of red wine if that moves you!

Both good ideas, but I'm also trying to think of ways to spice up the lasagna so I don't need to choke it down... Maybe more sauce would help for starters.

Granulated garlic (better than plain garlic powder), onion powder, oregano, basil all have the potential to make a bland Italian dish pop.

Thanks, a little late this time, but I'll remember for next time!

I put it in a glass dish, added more sauce, a little water to keep it moist while heating, seasoned it a bit more with some herb steak seasoning, covered it tightly with foil, and re-heated in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Came out perfect, and tasted much better than when it originally came out.

Homemade pizza. I made a double batch of dough last week and froze half. Took that out of the freezer last night and it's been getting, "happy" since then. Made a tomato sauce with San Marzano tomatoes earlier. Toppings will be sliced meatballs, mushrooms and roasted garlic. Local craft IPA.
