Loaded Sheet Pan Nachos
Hi! Are you getting ready for the weekend? Today’s recipe could play a part in a fun weekend! It’s National Nachos Day! Yum! So here is a recipe for Loaded Sheet Pan Nachos. Cooking with a sheet pan has become really convenient, hasn’t it? Notice that red onions are used in this recipe? White onion is a more traditional choice to add flavor to the browned ground beef. However, in this case, the rest of the red onion used to prepare the Pico de Gallo is used instead. This lends a very subtle, yet distinct, sweet note to the garlic and savory taco seasoning.

My father — who was living with us — passed away. All while I have essentially locked myself down. I venture out some for errands that I can have delivered or that I need to attend in person. I did get to take my son to college…

Southern Italian Antipasto
I am sorry this post is late. I had planned to post this on June 4th to coincide with National Cheese Day. Best laid plans, right? But it’s been a weird week — a death in the family and my son’s high school graduation. We have had huge highs and huge lows and I haven’t been very focused on my blogs or my business. I will do better. On to my late recipe: I love — LOVE — cheese platters. When I attend a function and there is a platter with cheese, meat, bread, and crackers, I am satisfied. Sometimes, the actual meal (not the dessert, mind you) isn’t necessary!…

It’s pretty versatile. Traditional hummus is made with…
