I live in the San Francisco bay area and when I am not working, out on my bicycle or running on the local trails, you can find me in the kitchen. I love trying new recipes and experimenting with different seasonings and flavors. I often will make up a recipe after browsing the internet.

Eggplant Veggie LasagnaI made this recipe again last weekend for vegetarian guests. I added all the original ingredients, but I also added an another layer consisting of sliced mushrooms and pasilla/poblano peppers. I sauteed both the mushrooms as well as the peppers prior to adding them in order to reduce the liquid before layering in the pan. YUMMY!!!

Korean Barbecued BeefLOVE this recipe. I've made this it probably 10 times or so.... tonight, I decided to combine this with some broccoli and rice noodles for "beef and broccoli" Few changes/notes to do this: 1. for the sauce I only use 2 Tbsps sugar 2. To make sauce for the broccoli, I doubled the sauce recipe and used half for marinade and half for the sauce (in hind sight could have used only half additional recipe for sauce -- we had plenty of sauce) 3. Cooked the beef as instructed on the grill 4. Made a pot of rice noodles using instructions on the package 5. Heated wok pan on high heat. added 1 tbsp of peanut oil with one clove of garlic, added one head of broccoli sliced into small strips, plus one small onion sliced. 6. Once veggies are slightly cooked added the sauce until heated, then added the 1 tbsp cornstarch, mixing the entire time. 7. Once sauce thickens, added the rice noodles and the meat that is off the grill. YUM!

Mom's Boeuf BourguignonThis was a special Sunday Recipe that my mom made for years. I love it because it is so easy and so super rich. I never seem to have the small onions and so I always just cut up a large yellow onion into large pieces. I always serve this over mashed potatoes. Also, I cook it for hours in the crock pot until the meat is tender as can be. Hubby loves this one.

Home Cooked Taco ShellsOh yeah.... I got a new cook top and it took a little time to figure out the settings, but the shells came out amazing. So much better than the store bought junk! Not too difficult an effort and totally worth it! Just ask my hubby. Try with Beef Tacos recipe: 177392

Beef TacosI have made this recipe a million times... tonight I tried it with ground turkey instead of beef for a healthier option and it was delish! I think I will use Turkey from here on out! Don't forget to do the shells by hand as well. The home made shells make the recipe and it is not that much more of an effort. You can find taco shell recipe at Big Oven Recipe 177391. Enjoy!

Spicy RiceDecided to experiment with some rice... rather than plain old rice, added some spices during the cooking process and it was WOW!! Pick your own spices...

Mom's Pork Chop CasseroleI'm not a big fan of recipes that use campbell's creamy soups. Call me a snob, but I prefer to make my own sauces. However, this is a definite exception; as I posted this recipe. This is an old time family recipe that my mom made and my husband loves. Easy to make very flavorful! Enjoy! I've made a million times and it is always a crowd pleaser!

Aunt Sarah's Pie CrustWow... I have made this recipe several times now and it is always perfect.... for both sweet pies like apple or savory pies like turkey pot pie. Who says pie crust is hard to make? This recipe is fast and easy and the crust is sooooo FLAKY!

Turkey Pot PieI had leftover turkey and so I tried this recipe. This recipe is so yummy. I thought there would be too much filling for my pie shell but it was ok. I added some poultry seasoning as well as 2 cups of turkey instead of 1.5 cups and a tad bit more milk. I think it would also be good with some mushrooms in there as well. I made my Aunt Sarah's pie crust for this recipe and it was perfect with this pie! You can find Aunt Sarah's Pie Crust recipe on big oven. Big Oven Recipe #175108

Crooke Family Apple PieI have now made this pie several times and it never fails! I use a mixture of apples which always includes granny smith for that tartness. YUM!

Double Chocolate Mousse CakeThis is the second time I have made this cake for guests and it is a HUGE hit! Everyone always asks for the recipe. The cake is so rich and creamy. Tastes delicious with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I would not hesitate to make this again.

Jan's Roasted Red Pepper SoupI LOVE this recipe... made it so many times and I have varied it based on mood. You can make it chunky or smooth (blend or not), creamy or not (if using less or no cream just add more beef broth and/or tomato sauce), spicy or not. Very versatile

Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage and SpinachI adapted this online recipe by adding spinach and additional seasonings. The lentils cook so quickly; this can be an easy dinner during the work week. Delicious and pretty healthy too (if you use chicken sausage)

Oven Roasted CarrotsI basically hate cooked carrots.... but oven roasted carrots work for me! I used "purple" carrots in this recipe which are orange on the inside. This is a very simple recipe; Please do not overcook the carrots and do not forget the lemon juice at the end... keeps it fresh and tasty!

Lemon-garlic Shrimp SkewersOK.... I originally posted this recipe ages ago.... I made this again tonight.... LOVE this recipe. But was reminded that your really need to rinse the shrimp REALLY well after the salt/sugar soak or your shrimp dish is too salty. Also this time I added some crushed red pepper for extra kick! Still love this recipe!

Portobellini Mushrooms with Spinach and Blue CheeseAs I was putting away groceries and saw the bag of spinach and mushrooms on the counter, I decided to try to combine them. The blue cheese was the perfect topping for this side dish which goes so wonderfully with beef. It was very easy to make.

BBQ Pork RibsI love ribs and I came up with the recipe after combining several various recipes for the ribs. Since I do not have a smoker, I needed a recipe that worked in the regular oven finished on the grill. I think you can adjust the seasoning by adding more cayenne as well as through your choice of BBQ sauce.

Eggplant Veggie LasagnaThis can be made really using any vegetables you have in the refrigerator. Just be sure that they do not contain too much water before layering them into the pan. This is super easy and super fast.

Lisa, thank you for the medal you awarded me for South-of-the-border Grilled Pork Tenderloin - recipe #59871. However, I do not deserve it! I did not post the recipe. I merely posted the photo on the recipe after trying it. When BigOven was first started, well over a hundred fifty thousand recipes were downloaded from various sources. This is one of those downloaded recipes. You can tell by the low recipe number, the lack of any member posting credit, plus the recipe states, "Posted to recipelu-digest Volume 01 Number 176 by Reggie Dwork ~~ltreggie~~at;reggie.com> on Oct 28, 1997" (the download recipe source). Also, I see you've made some excellent contributions to BigOven...I look forward to seeing many more in the future. God's smile on you, your kitchen and family!
