One of my all time favorite meals is Standing Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream. For some reason I only make it once or twice a year, and never around holiday time because everyone in the family either wants Turkey or Ham.

Eggplant is popular in most regions of the Southern United States. Thomas Jefferson, was the first to experiment with several types of eggplant in his Virginia garden, and it was he who introduced eggplant to The United States. Of Asian origins, the first types ended up being extremely sour tasting, but through cultivation and crossbreeding the flavor has greatly improved.

I didn’t really know what a caper was for a very long time. All I understood was these tiny dark green pea-size food items tasted really great, and that I couldn’t get an ample amount of them. In the event you don’t really know what a caper is, a caper is the bud of the flowering plant known as Capparis spinosa. It’s difficult to consider, but merely a single very small caper is jam-packed with a big list of nutrition. This transforms any recipe to a nutritious one whenever you incorporate capers. Capers are extremely versatile and work extremely well in a range of recipes.

Saturday afternoon football needs something that can be fixed ahead of time and eaten when everyone gets hungry. At least in this house it does. Which is why cooking in a crockpot on Saturdays in football season is a must.
Who has time to get up and cook dinner when the score is tied in the fourth quarter? I sure don’t and you couldn’t budge my husband from his chair for the world no matter how hungry he is.

Conversation, laughter, teasing and good food are some of what I remember about Sunday dinners when I was a child. I also remember the meals. I have always loved food even as a child. As with any child I didn’t always love what was good for me but the sit down dinners began my love affair with a wide variety of foods and tastes.
My Mom was not a gourmet cook. A lot of times the food was not what I would call out of the ordinary. But it was always plentiful and favorable. Lots to go around and filling. She wasn’t afraid to try new items, flavors or recipes she found in books. Lots and lots of cookbooks!

Sitting down to a family meal should be one of the highlights of the day for everyone involved. In todays busy world too many families are eating fast food or eating on the go. Not enough children are eating healthy foods. Where obesity was once a problem only for adults it has become increasingly noticeable in children of all ages.
It is up to us as parents to teach our children from a young age healthy eating habits. There is nothing wrong with an occasional trip to Taco Bell (which I am very guilty of), but fast food should not be used every day for your main meal. Sure the fast food industry has tried to make meals healthier, but there is nothing to compare to sitting down once a day to a home cooked meal.

Tired of Turkey yet? Still have a little left over? I know I am and I do! Truefully if I don’t see another turkey for a couple of months that will be all right with me.
So on that theme I had to come up with some recipes for the leftover turkey. There are tons of them out there, but this one I have made before with chicken, so why not use the turkey instead? The guys in my house (of which there are many) loved it. I hope you will too!

I found this recipe in one of my mothers old cookbooks. I remember it as a child, and it was one of my favorites. It fits into the category of comfort food for me. It is perfect for the coming cooler months. Hope you enjoy it!
