My daughter introduced this Vietnamese street food sandwich and if you have an opportunity to see one on a menu or someone offers you one, you should take it. Or make this recipe using what you like or have on hand. I love a good sandwich and the combination of seasoned pork, fresh veggies and some briny pickles and mayo and seasonings makes for a … Continue reading Banh Mi
I made this crumb cake earlier this week for our World Wide Wednesday family dinner to NJ. While crumb cake was not necessarily invented in New Jersey, this style of crumb cake with the ratio of crumb topping to cake is a regional obsession according to google. They were not wrong when they said the crumb topping is more than half of the cake. I … Continue reading Crumb Cake
I know I have shared many times that my family of foodies has a weekly family dinner we call it World Wide Wednesday even though family dinner is on Tuesdays now. My father-in-law calls it traveling Tuesdays; my family is so clever LOL. For 2026 we are eating our way through the United States. Last week we were in New Hampshire. How fitting since we … Continue reading Moist Orange Cake
This is my go-to coleslaw recipe and I have shared it in the past but I think there are so many more uses for it than just a side. Honestly until I started making pulled pork sandwiches the only time I would have coleslaw was if it came as a side of whatever I ordered. Usually fish and chips, which is still one of my … Continue reading quick and easy coleslaw and pulled pork
Let the Zucchini season commence. My husband wants to set up a video camera to take a time release photos of how a zucchini can go from small and delicious to damn what happened and now we have ginormous zucchini that is only good for baking. I have several the perfect size for this meal. We caught the small delicious zucchini just before it got … Continue reading baked stuffed zucchini
I was looking at my new Scott Conant cookb00k Peace Love and Pasta and decided to try one of the recipes. I couldn’t find the pasta or the cheese that he used so I will share with you what I made using the pasta and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. I do not recall ever using rigatoni pasta shape before and it was absolutely lovely with this … Continue reading Pork Ragu over Rigatoni
I hope my USA friends all had a lovely but safe Fourth of July celebration. We spent it with good friends and family! We got in some much needed pool time, it has been super hot and humid around here for the last few days. We ended the night watching some local fireworks with our granddaughter, which was super special. I hope you got to … Continue reading Gooey Butter Cake Cookies
I made this ice cream last week and it was stupid good! So much so I am making it again and then I should lose the recipe because we do not need more ice cream in our lives. So why am I documenting it here, so I won’t lose it. I just can’t make this weekly, we would be in big trouble with trying to … Continue reading Mississippi Mud Pie Ice Cream
I tend to think I spend way too much time on my phone, either scrolling or playing my game that I KNOW I spend too much time on. BUT in scrolling a couple of months ago I saw that Scott Conant was going to be kind of close to us and it was a few days after my daughters b-day. I know she would LOVE … Continue reading Martone Street Spaghetti Pomodoro
I made this very simple butter garlic lemon sauce for some Barramundi fish I had picked up from the store. You can use this very easy flavorful sauce with any fish or I think it would be great over most proteins. Where the sauce uses just a few ingredients, make them the best ingredients you can. Basically fresh lemon for the lemon juice, good quality … Continue reading butter garlic lemon sauce for fish
