Running a little late this morning, not just in writing this but in all things. I really have to go grocery shopping sooner rather than later, the fridge is looking a little bare. Asked the hubby what he needed for the week and what did he want for Sunday dinner. He asked for beef stroganoff, seriously I have never made that, he was shocked, it … Continue reading Beef Bourguignon
Sometimes simple is best. I haven’t been in the mood for a lot of cooking of late. I haven’t really analyzed what’s going on but sometimes I get into a little bit of a funk and things start shutting down. I think the first to go is my desire to get into the kitchen and start cooking. I usually enjoy being in the kitchen and … Continue reading Spaghetti Carbonara
I am sure you are almost done with turkey; I know I am. I was “reeling” on my phone the other day and saw a question “what is the most overrated food on Thanksgiving?” hands down it has to be the turkey I know it is for me and when I asked my husband he said the same. I have made it so many different … Continue reading Fried chicken thigh and a pickled caper dill sauce
This has been a pretty emotional week around the Clark household. Family and Friends came from as far as California and as close as next door to lay to rest the Matriarch of the Clark family. It was a beautiful day and many beautiful tributes to a beautiful woman. She will be missed dearly by so many! My husband and I have been living with … Continue reading Garlic Herb Crusted Center Cut Pork Loin
My daughter and I were at the Asian market the other day. We tend to go once a month, it isn’t close by but worth the drive. She picked up a package of Korean Rice Cakes, I have never even heard of them before, but I am always up for a challenge. They were not a challenge at all, I would compare them to a … Continue reading Korean Rice Cakes and Chicken
Sitting in a breakfast joint in Wilmington NC at the moment (Saturday). I had a different plan for this week’s blog but when I packed my bag yesterday (Friday) I thought don’t forget to grab your laptop and guess what I forgot so here we are. Using my phone is not ideal for this so bear with me. I am in NC trying to coordinate … Continue reading Linguine with lemon garlic shrimp
I was scrolling on my phone, which I know I do way too much. Anyway I watched a reel of chef Mark Murphy make a butternut squash risotto and it looked fabulous. My husband harvested maybe a dozen or so squash a week or so ago. So I knew I wanted to try to replicate what I saw him do. I made butternut squash risotto … Continue reading Butternut Squash Risotto
I made this last night, my sister-in-law requested eggplant parmesan and this is my go-to recipe. It is the one that helped me change my mind that I didn’t like eggplant even though I had never even tried it. It is also the recipe that brought San Marzano canned tomatoes to my pantry. I do found this recipe in a Food Network Magazine. It is … Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan
I started with wanting to make beef and broccoli and then I went to the garden. It’s been an OK year as I have eluded to in previous posts. Broccoli has always been a bumper crop, until this year. So my beef and broccoli turned into beef and vegetables, which was still very good and If needed to, I would add whatever vegetable I had … Continue reading Beef and Vegetables
I have been trying ALL week to make zucchini lasagna. I made a version of it and let me tell you why. I had a very large zucchini last weekend. I wasn’t able to get to it and when I went into the fridge for something else, I noticed it was gone. OK I can pivot no worries. I am sure there will be another … Continue reading Zucchini Lasagna
