Don's Delicious Dishes

Don's Delicious Dishes After retirement, I turned to my first passion - cooking. Nothing fancy, simply good wholesome food. Basically no salt, low or no sugar, minimum of fat.

I've changed many recipes to reflect the dietary restrictions of myself and my wife.

Happy birthday, Chef Donald!

Marion has been dealing with some health issues for the past couple of weeks and requested veggie soup. Made a huge batch and now she's feeling full. Simple old-fashioned veggie soup.

Update: after much consideration, we decided this artichoke casserole didn't meet our standards. Not a dish we would recommend.

Springtime stirs my cooking creativity. Been sifting through quite a few to try.
Today I made this artichoke casserole; right out of the oven. We'll try it shortly. If we like it, recipe will follow.

My wife asked for Apple Pancakes, a childhood delicacy. I used the basic Bisquick pancake recipe and replaced half the milk/water with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and added 1 apple (diced). Cook as directed. Serve with butter, syrup, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!

New dish we tried today - meatball casserole.

Very easy: prepare your meatballs according to your own recipe/taste. Place in casserole dish. Use sliced potatoes as dividers between the meatballs. Top with shredded mozzarella. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes or until meatballs are cooked.

Serve with a side dish of your choice.

Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with healthy food. Thanks for your support this year.

With Christmas almost upon us, I want to remind you all that eating healthy can still be accomplished. We have been so happy with our eating lifestyle and with the positive results of our recent lab work: all vital areas are within a good to acceptable range. Of course we still stray now and then but we pay for it the next day by reliving that old sluggish feeling.

So don't let the holidays throw you. Take a taste or two if you must of all those delectable goodies that come once a year. Opt for that glass of wine or adult beverage but bear in mind your healthy lifestyle. Moderation is key to it all.

This week I'll be working on our Christmas Eve/Day menu so I won't have time to post but Marion will take some photos and will post them here.

Merry Christmas!
