Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

Ham Potato Green Bean Casserole

Posted on June 15, 2020October 8, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

Once again, I am happy to let the ingredients that I need to use-up, determine what I make for supper.  There’s nothing like a one dish, comfort food meal.  Because we have a lot of green beans and swiss chard right now, i put both in the Ham Potato Green Bean Casserole.  However, use whatever…

Because it’s summer, I look for new twists on potato salad.  Using a couple of herbs, and some crunch of celery, Potato Corn Salad is such a yummy treat in hot weather.  There are a number of ingredients that you can substitute or add to enjoy the summer veggies.  For more of a Mexican twist,…
