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 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

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 will definitely make it the day before I … Continue reading New York Cheesecake

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
