Now this is a recipe my daughter made a couple of weeks ago; a recipe she got from a cookbook called cook beautiful. Pork shoulder does not spring to mind beautiful. We usually end up shredding it and dousing it in BBQ sauce; which makes for a fantastic sandwich don’t get me wrong but beautiful I don’t think so. I do suppose beauty is in … Continue reading Stewed pork butternut squash and walnut gremolata
What are your plans for the big game later today? Being from New England and a Patriots fan my whole life I could be bitter that Tom Brady left us or I can be on board with rooting for him since he is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Though I recall seeing a young Mahomes play a couple of … Continue reading chicken parmesan sliders
It’s a whopping 14′ F out there this morning and with the wind it says it “feels like” -2′ F. Looks like it will be another inside day for me, seems to be a lot of those. I do have one more puzzle to open and there will be football on later plus I am sure there are some closets or cupboards I could go … Continue reading short rib ragu
How many of you read the title of a recipe and make a final decision right there to read on or pass. I will admit I tend to steer clear of a few key words myself. My pass words usually are mushroom, tofu and peach. I get grief all the time for how much I hate even the smell of peaches. I have poured out … Continue reading Brussels sprouts three cheese and pasta
I made this recipe a few weeks ago after someone mentioned it as their favorite dish. WHAT!?! I had never heard of it before; my daughter had not only heard of it but actually had it in Korea WHAT!?! Hers was in a bibimbap bowl over rice and assorted vegetables. Why has she not made it since being home? it’s been years; I have no … Continue reading Korean Beef Bulgogi

Well my plan is to cook for everyone the only downfall at the moment is I cannot find any small turkeys. I prefer to make two small (10 pounds or under) birds versus … Continue reading Thanksgiving prep
Crazy is the best way to describe 2020 period! I haven’t stepped foot into the office since Mid March. I used to go out to do errands and shop a few times a week, I barely do that now. We haven’t made any vacation plans; which is the only way I make my husband take time off; he is actually working at the moment on … Continue reading Pork Chops baked beets and apples
I am the one that spends the most amount of time in the house thinking about food. What I mean is coming up with the meals, shopping for the meals and making the meals. Probably why I have a food blog, well partly why I have a food blog; I just really love food. Last weekend my husband and I were away so my daughter … Continue reading crispy short rib carnitas with sunset slaw
I had every intention of writing this earlier in the week. I had Monday and Tuesday off and figured I would get a jump on things. I spent Monday putting my house back together; sending back returns of things I didn’t use or need from my sons wedding last Friday. I spent Tuesday doing absolutely nothing! Seriously I am embarrassed to say I did nothing … Continue reading veggie and sausage sheet pan dinner
A few simple ingredients and dinner is served. Chicken breast, pesto, tomatoes and pasta. I like making my own pesto but you don’t have to. You can find it at most grocery stores. If you happen to have an abundance of basil out in the garden or on the windowsill you can never go wrong with making pesto. Actually just go buy some basil at … Continue reading pesto chicken and pasta
