Barley, Bean and Vegetable Soup with Polish Sausage
Every now and then the only thing I want to eat is a richly flavored hearty bowl of soup…and this reinvention of Ina Garten’s Lentil Sausage Soup fits the bill. In this version I have substituted 1 cup of barley plus 1 -15 oz can of chili beans for the lentils, and replaced the sausage with…

Zucchini Lasagne
I created the delicious (happy to say) Zucchini Lasagne you see above when my intention was really to make a recipe I came across in a magazine for Grilled Zucchini Parmigiana. But, a funny thing happened on my way to making it… I’m nothing if not impulsive and determined. I realized in my haste to make…
