Left-Over Hake and Corn Cakes
Left-Over Hake and Corn CakesWe had some leftover hake and boiled corn cobs in the fridge from last night's dinner. I didn't want the food to be wasted, but cold fish is just as "exciting" as a cold cup of coffee. I decided to turn it into these fish cakes. Served with oven chips, it made a great lunch!

Parmesan Chicken Bake
Parmesan Chicken BakeI usually stick to the same ten recipes or so, but lately I've been trying to change it up. I eat a lot of chicken and there's only so much barbecue and fajitas I can take! I came across numerous recipes online for Parmesan chicken and this one looked to be the easiest to make.

Pumpkin Flax Muffins
Pumpkin Flax MuffinsHere is another recipe I found to use my pumpkin puree. A healthy, tasty muffin for breakfast on the go. These will not stay fresh on the counter for long, since they have no preservatives. Take out what you need and freeze the rest.

A slice of autumn grape cake with whipped cream.
Autumn Grape CakeI love this cake, especially for the autumn season. It's got both grapes and raisins in it. I serve it warm with a ginger lime honey reduction syrup. It's very easy to make but incredibly elegant. I hope you try it. :)

Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Homemade Pumpkin PureeSomeone left a big pumpkin at the curb with their garbage, and I picked it up during one of my walks. I did roast pumpkin before, but I remembered how hard it was to cut up the pumpkin. However, I saw a recipe for how to roast a whole pumpkin, and that's what I did today. I have plenty of puree for breads, muffins, soup, smoothies, and even baby food!

Pumpkin Ginger Bread
Pumpkin Ginger BreadI love this time of year. It got so very cold this weekend that I had to turn on my heat... reluctantly! I also turned on the oven and started baking. I thought about making something with pumpkin, but wanted something a bit different. I went looking through all my own recipes and found all my different pumpkin breads, cakes, and muffins. I started making my pumpkin bread recipe and came across a version that has ginger in it. I love ginger in anything, so here we go.

A plate of Chinese boneless spareribs
Chinese Boneless SpareribsI love Chinese boneless spareribs, but always find them overcooked, dry or tough to chew. I started making my own and this recipe is frugal and so very easy. It can be used as an appetizer or served with rice and vegetables as a meal. I like it both ways.

Meringue
MeringueWhipped toppings are a shortcut method to replace whipping cream, which can be expensive and tricky to do correctly. Fair enough, but what about meringue? It always looks so fancy.

Crescent Pizza Rolls - finished pizza rolls
Crescent Pizza RollsI think it is safe to bet that almost everyone loves pizza! This is a great tasting variation. They make fabulous appetizers for events, parties, and reunions. I actually prepare one package and split them between dinner one night, and lunch the next day. They are just as good reheated in the microwave.

Candybar and Cereal Cookies
Candybar and Cereal CookiesI decided to come up with this recipe for cookies when I really wanted some sweets and didn't want plain candy. These cookies are so crispy and satisfying. You could also use crushed cornflakes or bran flakes. My family and I prefer these over regular chocolate chip cookies by far. This is a great way to use up leftover Halloween chocolates, too!

Homemade Chili
Homemade ChiliWhat's football season without chili? In my house of 3 sons, 1 son in-law, and a husband, and friends, I find keeping them chewing keeps the noise to a minimum. They like to pound their fist on the arm of my couch and chairs, and stamp their feet on the floors. Did you say *anger management?* No, I did! :)

Easy Steamed Chocolate Cake
Easy Steamed Chocolate CakeCraving for moist chocolate cake? If you want it and you think it's too expensive to buy just a slice, I will share with you what I have just learned recently. You can actually cook chocolate cake in a steamer or a rice cooker. You don't even need an electric beater to achieve a fluffy cake. Here's how I made it.
