Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.

Easter Carrot Cheese Log
No carrots are in it, but this eye-catching appetizer was a big hit this Easter (2015). Not too salty and not too spicy... just right! And for me the hostess, it was quick and easy to make - an extra bonus! Serve with crackers, pita chips, or toast. Create your own shape to accent your next holiday or special occasion table.
Easy Chicken and Corn Chowder
This chicken corn chowder is super easy to make quickly on the stovetop. I used store-bought rotisserie chicken and shredded the breast meat to save time, but you are more than welcome to cook your meat and then shred it. You can also precook the potatoes to speed up the recipe.
Homestyle Kalua Pork with Cabbage in a Slow Cooker
Inspired by the luaus in Hawaii, I set out to make an easy, tasty homestyle slow-cooker version of kalua pork with cabbage. The meat is fall-off-the-bone yummy. This recipe is not overly smoky, but you may add more smoke if you like. Serve with rice, buns, or poi.
