Leftover Fajita Quesadillas

I had a lot of fajita leftovers from a steak fajita dinner I made. While the fajitas were good, I wanted to try to do something different. I love quesadillas and thought the leftovers from the fajita dinner would make a great filling. I was very pleased with how well this turned out. I love […]

Instant Pot Southwestern Polenta

This recipe is my own invention. I was trying to figure out what to make for supper when I saw the polenta in the pantry at the RV. I also had tomatoes, roasted poblano peppers, lemons, and a bunch of cilantro. In the freezer, I had Costco Mexican Style Street Corn. This came together quickly […]

Creamy Pasta With Peas, Tomatoes and Asparagus

This recipe was just put together with ingredients I had on hand in the RV. Serves 4 to 6

Tuna and Egg Salad Sandwich

When I first had a tuna fish salad sandwiches out, it didn’t have egg in it. I soon realized eggs were not normally added to tuna fish salad. I wondered if it was just something common to the South, but when I searched online, tuna fish sandwiches don’t list eggs as and ingredient. My mother […]

Instant Pot Key Wat (Ethiopian Beef Stew)

I started with a recipe on how to make Key Wat in the Instant Pot from SpiceCravings.com. Key Wat is a lovely rich and spicy stew and makes a fun change from traditional beef stew. While it is traditionally served on Injera bread, I find it is also delicious served over polenta or rice. Serves […]

Low FODMAP Sheet Dinner

I wanted to make an easy dinner and make it low FODMAP. I looked in the fridge and considered my options. I decide on a sheet dinner with chicken, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, and potatoes. While mushrooms are not low FODMAP, they don’t bother Bruce. Once again, I forgot to take a picture, but this […]

Instant Pot Low-FODMAP Beef Stew

I started from the Lazy Day Beef Stew from the The Rootitoot Cookbook, by Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker. I changed the recipe a good bit to make it low FODMAP and then I simplified a couple of steps to make an even easier “dump” stew. This recipe can even be made with frozen beef cubes. Serves […]

Instant Pot Low FODMAP Pot Roast

Since Bruce is trying to eat a low FODMAP diet, and I had a chuck roast, I looked for a good pot roast recipe that I could modify to be low FODMAP. I found one in The Rootitoot Cookbook, A Grandma’s Recipes for Your Instant Pot by Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker. If you haven’t discovered her […]

Instant Pot Low FODMAP Arroz Con Pollo

Since Bruce now has to eat a low FODMAP diet, I am looking at recipes in a new way. The original recipe came from “The Essential Mexican Instant Pot Cookbook” by Deborah Schneider. I’ve modified it to be low FODMAP and was very pleased with the results. Bruce was delighted with the results as well. […]

Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Bruce bought a bag of lovely roasted poblano peppers at Heinie’s Market in Wheat Ridge, CO. They smelled wonderful! I was trying to think what I could make with them and after looking in my fridge and pantry, I created this recipe on the fly. This can be served as a main course or a […]
