Remember the Spinach Strata that we made? Well, how about substituting chopped broccoli florets and red bell peppers for the spinach? Add some parmesan cheese to the cheddar, and throw in a dollop of Dijon mustard…yum! :-)

Although you can cook this lamb dish in a hot skillet either on stove top or in the oven, I prefer it for grilling! This marinade has a lot of ingredients, but if you whip it up the night before, or first thing in the morning, and let the lamb soak in it all day […]
This coffee cake is the perfect make-ahead or OAMC treat! It freezes very well, and can be served either at room temperature or warm. Wrapped in foil, it goes from freezer to oven to table in about 30 minutes.

From the April issue of Gourmet comes this lovely merger of peas and asparagus by Ursula Ferrigno. The reviews are in, and the people love it! The amount below is to serve 6. I need to cut it back a bit for my family and it’s still delicious :-)

Such a simple marinade can make such a difference! Prepare these artichoke hearts ahead of time, maybe during your once a week food preparation time, and then you can just toss them onto a salad of mixed spring greens throughout the week!
Artichoke Hearts in Wine and Garlic
10 - 12 artichoke hearts (frozen, canned, or […]
One of my very favorite egg and cheese dishes is any type of Strata. This one is delicious, with the addition of (preferably fresh) spinach. Using ricotta cheese instead of milk makes a heavier dish, but it also cooks up a lot faster and doesn’t have to be refrigerated overnight before baking like some recipes […]
Here’s another little vegetable mix that you can prepare ahead of time and then mix into your spring green salad as you wish. This has a nice Asian taste, thanks to the rice vinegar. I like to make this during my once a week food preparation time, along with some other salad toppers, and then […]
This delightful spring salad is a hearty whole meal, and is made available by Bon Appetit. One of the reviewers suggested making the salad without the ham to serve when you’re having ham…brilliant! This salad meal can be made up ahead of time.

Easy-peasy (sorry!) recipe for split pea soup that you can set up in a crock pot before you leave the house and have table-ready in an instant when you return! All you need to add is crusty bread or rolls. This is also an excellent OAMC recipe, freezing very well, and heating up again […]
When you use a rub like this on your steak, it’s best if you apply it in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge. This recipe makes enough rub to do 1 to 2 pounds of flank steak. The easiest way to do the prep is to work the rub into […]
