I know what you’re thinking. Summer is over and we’re deep in winter; now she’s sharing a fruit cobbler. The good news is this dish can be made with fresh or frozen fruit. On a cold winter night, you can make a sweet treat with a frozen mix of fruit. Prefer blueberries? Make a blueberry cobbler. Have a family member who goes gaga over blackberries? Make a blackberry cobbler. I like making a mix of fruit often including peaches, multiple berries of course, and anything else that strikes my fancy. In the summer use any juicy summer fruit: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries.

Holiday Meat Balls
For a very tasty appetizer during the holidays, try this recipe for meatballs with cranberries in the sauce. I used seasoned bread crumbs, which added some nice flavor to the meatballs, and then baked them on a broiler tray, which allowed the fat to run off while they were baking. One recipe is enough to fill one of the small 1 to 2 quart crock pots.

If you want a great snack that is also a fun Christmas gift, make candied nuts. The recipe today uses egg white as a base for the sugar-cinnamon coating which reduces the amount of sugar needed. Healthier but still very tasty. This recipe works equally well with walnuts, almonds, pecans, and most other nuts.
Strawberry & Cheese Bruschetta

Sauteed Greens & Eggs
I’ve posted many recipes calling for sautéed greens – a little olive oil and garlic with spinach, kale, chard, collards. All the greens you can name taste good with olive oil and garlic. If you want to really raise it a notch, add a couple of shallots, some onions, or leeks. A fine combination of flavors that can start your day with a warm dish, provide a tasty lunch, or even an easy dinner when paired with eggs. Wash the greens, remove the ribs, and chop or tear the leaves.
Squash Cranberry Saute
A wonderful winter side dish that is perfect for your evening meal or a holiday dinner – Squash Cranberry Saute. Cook cubes of butternut squash with fruit-juice sweetened dried cranberries. Yum!
Easy Baked Lemon Chicken
I’m all about easy, delicious food. I discovered pan roasting a few years ago and haven’t looked back. This tasty lemon chicken with vegetables is all cooked together in a baking sheet with sides. One pan to clean but lots of good food to eat. Use a whole chicken cut into pieces or just your favorite parts. If you want an economical meal, use thighs with as much fat removed as possible. Tasty!
