Simple, creamy butternut squash soup that even vegetable haters will eat.

One reason I love to travel is the exposure to different foods, cultures, ideas and people.  A case in point is the food discovery from last night at a business dinner in Chicago:  short rib lasagne.  Wow!  It was a blustery, windy, rainy night, and […]

We’re empty-nesters here at Glover Gardens, so I’m trying to pare down the amounts when I cook. It’s easier with some recipes than others. These delicious tuna burgers are simple to make for two, or four, or more. Just increase the recipe.

These salmon burgers are so easy they should be on the table at least once a month. Made with fresh salmon, they’re so good that you might be able to convince an innocent child that they’re actually chicken burgers…that little white lie is between you and your conscience. But hey – how is it different than Santa Claus?

There’s nothing that says “Summer!” like a quick and easy pork tenderloin on the grill.

Sausage and Pepper Dogs – This quick-and-easy recipe comes together in a half hour; great for an empty nest weeknight dinner.

We like to try new things here at Glover Gardens (sometimes really new, and sometimes just new to us).  A few years ago, the Grill-Meister set out to master deep-fried turkey.  After some intense Google research, he settled on Alton Brown’s version, complete with its […]

Glover Gardens Chili: quick ‘n easy, spicy, fresh, and chock-full of protein.

There’s something so satisfying about slow-cooked meat on a long weekend. This brisket is perfect for a Labor Day celebration.

If you’ve read my About page, you know that I really like to play with recipes. Add this, increase that, amp up the spices a bit…you know the drill. Well, once in a while, I find a recipe that simply can’t be improved. I try, but…the recipe is already perfect.

OK, who doesn’t love quesadillas? They’re like a tiny, warm little sandwich your mother made for you to eat after school. Yum. Portable, finger-food, dip-able, easy to make. Did I say yum? Did I say easy? I’ve got a dozen quesadilla approaches, maybe more.  Today I’m […]
