janey Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 An invitation to MJ's Kitchen. I'd like to invite you all to my new website in which I will be publishing many of the recipes that I have developed over the years. Many of the recipes you'll see were developed after I got sick back in 2002. As you all can relate, it became so hard to cook or even want to cook. But because cooking is one of my passions, I have been able to get the energy to return to the kitchen. The recipes you find are EASY, healthy and can be made using basic ingredients. I try to keep the whole prep and cooking time to less than an hour and many times - 30 minutes. I hope you take a moment to check it out and possibly even try out some of the recipes. If you do try out a recipe and find something that looks interesting, please let me know. My plan is to publish a new recipe every Wednesday. I hope you enjoy what you see.

Jeannie McClelland Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Oh wow, where to start?! I've got most of the ingredients for all of the first recipes, except the calzone. The Handsome Hubby is really going to enjoy supper tonight! Thanks, MJ, you're a honey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

janey Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm sure you've all heard about the health benefits of onions. Along with garlic they are considered anti-inflammatory and can improved cardiovascular health. Since inflammation is something that we all have to deal with on a daily basis, onions and garlic are two ingredients that I try to eat every single day. Luckily, I LOVE onions and garlic. This week's recipe, "Fennel Infused Onions", is an easy, breezy recipe that helps you get that dose of onion. I hope you try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda Thorpe Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Way to go Janey! Looks like it's all good! I have to ask what's wrong with the pusscat in your avatar, how come the poor baby has one of those collars on? Take care. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miocean Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Janey, :emoticons-group-hug: YOUR SITE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! :emoticons-group-hug: I don't do kitchens but bookmarked it for my husband, who is an excellent cook and thrives on reading cookbooks. May you have much success with it and may many enjoy it! miocean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janey Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks everyone! I've always loved to cook and create new things so it's great sharing with others. Amanda, my poor kitty had a really bad bite which got infected. He had to wear the collar for a week. We had to keep him inside which was devastating for him and us since he is an outdoor cat. The collar drove him nuts so he drove us nuts as pay back. -:) Thankfully, the collar is now gone and hopefully never to return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uknlv18 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Janey, the site looks great. I too am a big cook and love to cook up new things! Now that I am dieting seriously I have been attempting to adapt my favorite recipes into not so fattening ones. It is a bit of a challenge in some cases but still trying! I too love garlic and have been doing many attempts at pickling it to no success so far. I will get it right eventually I'm sure. I have added you to my favorites and look forward to new recipe posts! Jean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi Janey, I'm afraid I'm not the best cook on the planet, but we do like to try new things and I shall definitely attempt some of your delicious recipes. :) (My husband won't believe his luck!!) Oh, your poor cat....his leg must have been really painful! The dogs have had to wear 'Buster' collars like that on occasions; they play havoc with our legs and have been known to take the paint off the skirting boards!! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
debonair susie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I can hardly wait to try your recipes, janey! You are so sweet to share your wonderful recipes :thank-you-2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks Everyone! All of your comments are very encouraging! When you try a recipe, please feel free to leave a comment - even if you change it some for your personal tastes - I'd like to hear what you did and so would others. Y'all are the best!

janey Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 This week's recipe - If you need a little sweet to help cool off in the heat, try my rhubarb mint sorbet. Even if you're not a fan of rhubarb, you'll love this one. My husband did and he's definitely not a fan. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janey Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 A little sometime to keep you warm in the hot weather - not that any of us really ever get that hot. :blink: This week's recipe is my Cold Cucumber Soup. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janey Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Roasted Red Pepper Appetizer - A healthy little dish that can be an appetizer, spread, relish, or meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeannie McClelland Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The Roasted Bell Pepper Appetizer is a fabulous recipe! We've had it as a dip and a spread and last night, in an attempt to delude my hubby that I really was paying attention to the culinary department and not just spending my days reading, I stuffed chicken breasts with it. Oh yum! Keep the recipes coming, MJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
