OVEN BAKED POTATO with STEAMED VEGETABLES & CHEESE – This Vegetarian “Jacket Potato” is delicious and healthy. Eliminate the dairy and it is a Vegan Meal. I use olive oil and sea salt to coat the potato before baking it on a tray in the oven @ 400* F for one hour. Sometimes I wrap […]

Enjoy 1960’s SLOPPY JOES using healthy turkey meat! These sloppy joes were delicious!… We think yours will turn out just as tasty! Recipe: 1/2 Large onion diced and sautéed in olive oil until soft (salt and pepper) remove from pan — cook 1lb. of ground turkey in a little olive oil, chop while cooking into […]

SKILLET CORNBREAD (Southern Style) This is called a pone of cornbread and if you have never tasted homemade Southern Cornbread, let me tell you… it’s wonderful! The crispy-crusted delight is very savory, there is never any sugar added, whatsoever. When eaten warm, right out of the oven and a split made horizontally down the slice, […]

BREAKFAST SANDWICHES (2 for 1) Open-faced egg and mayo along with an open-faced bacon and tomato (both on seed bread) make for a hearty and delicious breakfast!

BUTTERFLIED & SKILLET SEARED CHICKEN BREASTS – We bought a whole chicken and I broke it down into its parts… breasts, legs with thighs, wings, and back. I roasted most parts in the oven, but the breasts I butterflied and cooked them in our cast iron skillet. With the skin removed and both sides seasoned […]

SPAGHETTI – There is something special about spaghetti dinners that are associated with home and loving relationships. At our house, we either make homemade tomato sauce or we buy a top-level jar of marinara and doctor it up a bit with some freshly cooked sausage and sautéed onions, then cook it all together for 10 […]

THE BLT! Bread and Mayonnaise, and Tomatoes, and Crispy Bacon, and Fresh Lettuce combine to make one of the great sandwiches of the world. This open-faced iteration has the same amount of Bacon and Bread (here we used toasted, healthy, seed bread as a single sandwich) enjoy more tomatoes and lettuce. SO GOOD!

WARM TURKEY CHILI ON COLD WINTER’S DAY – This is a simple turkey chili… remember to season lightly with salt and pepper as each item is cooked. Start with a large hot cast iron skillet. Add one onion, diced, sauté in olive oil until transparent… remove and set aside. Add two celery stems, along with […]

Here at ARTS&FOOD®… the idea hit us–if we use all of the ingredients in a Quiche Lorraine, but grilled it between that cheesy mixture between two slices of bread, we would have a great, quick, fast and tasty lunch quiche. What we ended up with did not taste like a quiche, but it was one […]

Vanilla Crème Brûlée French Toast – Imagine–Brioche dipped in a sweet vanilla egg custard, then cooked in butter, and finally brûléed with superfine sugar flame melted on top. The French Toast can be served with berries and (although additional sweetness is not needed) it can be finished with natural maple syrup.
