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
For our #www family meal this last week we were in North Carolina. What came up when I googled it was this pie. I had heard of this pie and initially thought I might have made it before, why else would the name sound so familiar. So I looked on my Instagram, where I post all of our meals. Nothing came up, weird. Why would … Continue reading Atlantic Beach Pie
I made this last week and just finished the last piece with my tea this morning. Hands down this was the best cheese cake I have made. It was easy to make, there is a lot of hands off time needed bake and cool but other than that I am totally going to make it again. I will definitely make it the day before I … Continue reading New York Cheesecake
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
