Last Sunday I was kind of an over achiever; of sorts. I must have been hungry when I went grocery shopping since I came home with short ribs, a brisket and some sweet Italian sausages and a plan; well kind of a plan. I hadn’t planned on making everything on Sunday but it didn’t stop me. I had both of my crockpots going and some … Continue reading short ribs in a slow cooker
Confession – my son and I made beef wellington for New Years Eve. I bought 2 – 1 pound beef filets so we each got to assemble one. I will start with they tasted fabulous. The process is quite long and a little tedious it was a lot of cleaning and chopping (mushrooms) cooking and cooling (mushrooms and beef). I was like OK one and … Continue reading Beef Bourguignon
We did it; made it through another year and hoping for a better 2024. I guess today we should take a little time to reflect on 2023 and try to change something, or do something different to make 2024 better? I have never had any luck with resolutions and can’t say … Continue reading Chicken Curry – made easy
I posted this last year after I had made it for our Christmas dinner so I wanted to share it today just in case you are still trying to figure out what you are making next weekend for dinner. I will be making this again, It was SO good and you can’t beat it for the price versus the rib eye roast I have made … Continue reading Herbed Crusted Beef Tenderloin
We have had some really good food over the last year during our world wide Wednesday meals. Though a few months ago my daughter asked if we could change it to Tuesday’s. I don’t like it; she doesn’t like it but that’s when we are doing our family dinner; on a Tuesday. No matter the night, the fact that we can pull off a family … Continue reading Malva Pudding – A moist rich cake you will love
I haven’t really been thinking about the holidays just yet. I literally looked at an actual calendar earlier today to see how many more days I have to get my stuff together. Guess I need to giddy up a bit. So on my grocery shopping list today is quite a few items I will need for my Thanksgiving dinner. I find it a little less … Continue reading Chicken Chili – slow cooker
I love my family of foodies. My son called me Friday night to ask me what I was doing on Saturday. I guess he and his wife were going to go to a dumpling festival that ended up being cancelled. So they decided to make their own dumpling “festival” of sorts in my kitchen. I LOVE dumplings; I have made several different kinds and I … Continue reading Egg Rolls with Asian dipping sauces
This was supposed to post yesterday! Sorry for the delay! I was going through my post to see which one I can use for this weeks blog. I am running a little late this morning trying to get ready for a super fun filled day/night in Portland Maine. We are going to celebrate my GF KP as she is getting married next weekend and I … Continue reading Loco Moco
Pre Covid we used to head North to Montreal which is about a 4 hour trip bt car at least 3 or 4 times a year for the last several years. We haven’t been back but miss it so. We have to stop being so stupid busy all the time and make more of an effort to just jump in the car and go. Every … Continue reading Crispy Potato Gnocchi & Pesto
Gardening in my opinion is quite finicky and I find that even doing the same exact thing year after year yields different results. Yes I know weather matters but I plant garlic every fall and this years crop is GORGEOUS. I am SO proud that here is a picture of it. These are the largest heads I have ever gotten. I just pulled them so … Continue reading Pasta Swiss Chard with Sweet Italian Sausage
