Have you started thinking about what you are making for Thanksgiving this year? It is on my mind but I haven’t written anything down yet so I guess I am not there yet. Do you make the same thing year after year? Or do you try to add something new into the mix. Over the years, we have tried new things out and some stick … Continue reading Apple Galette – Rustic Tart
I am not quite sure of the recipe name, because what it really is would be more of a fridge cleanout kind of meal. It was quite good so I wanted to share it with you, maybe you have some things in your fridge/pantry that you probably should use up before you have to throw it away. I had a package of boneless skinless chicken … Continue reading Chicken Tomato Skillet
I went to the store looking for corned beef and none was to be had. I came across a flat cut brisket that I thought I would try. The only other briskets that I have made take a couple of days and hours in the oven, I came across this recipe that used my crockpot; why not? I made this the other day but wanted … Continue reading Beef Brisket with BBQ Sauce – Slow Cooker
Looking for a quick dinner and love garlic, shrimp and pasta; this one is for you. I guess you should also play to your audience. meaning I had my 3 year old granddaughter for the weekend and I guess a 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes is a little too much for her, we thought it was a hint but delicious. She ate all of … Continue reading Garlic Shrimp Pasta
I am revisiting this recipe and updating some pictures. We have family here this weekend and my sister-in-law asked if I have a recipe for Italian wedding soup. I know she LOVES soup so I was planning on making a soup for the weekend, I made the stock on Friday and yesterday I made her this Italian wedding soup recipe. It is kind of a … Continue reading Italian Wedding soup
We still have cabbage coming up in the garden, they are small heads, in years past we have had some enormous heads of cabbage but this year they stayed “normal” size which is nice. I have been seeing dirty cabbage recipes all over the internet and I was going to try to make something along those lines but having to work with what I have … Continue reading Mongolian Ground Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry
I was looking around the internet yesterday morning for an appetizer and came across this recipe from The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen. I thought I would give it a try. The only thing I did differently was the size of the potatoes alluded me. The recipe said to use small potatoes, I guess I took it too literal. I bought a bag of the baby … Continue reading Chorizo Queso Potato Skins
Not only is this the first pecan pie I have made, it is the first one I have actually had a slice, ok maybe 2 slices of. I like sweets but not too sweet. I even drink my ice tea half sweetened half black. I really don’t care for things when they are too cloyingly sweet. I think it has even changed the older I … Continue reading Pecan Pie
The garden is definitely winding down, yesterday the cucumbers, squash, eggplants, peppers and even the broccoli were all pulled out. The broccoli surprised me, it usually stays for longer than the other plants. We harvested the rest of the potatoes and some carrots and a few turnips. There a few potatoes that we need to use up sooner rather than later, they either had some … Continue reading Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes
I have been wanting to make these for awhile, I had picked up some bao buns from the Asian market quite some time ago and they have been sitting in the freezer waiting for me to make something with them. I generally make crispy pork belly with these buns, and I love me some pork belly, however it is a long process to make pork … Continue reading Crispy Chicken Bao Buns
