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
My garden is doing just OK. I did have a lot of cucumbers so I made 17 jars of pickles yesterday. I have gotten a few zucchini and summer squash so I wanted to make something for dinner the other night using up a couple of them. This recipe is a keeper and you need to check it out. Very easy to make, a one … Continue reading Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Squash
Current situation is enjoying a cup of tea looking out over Megansett Habor in North Falmouth. We have had a lovely weekend with family at the Mastria Estate high above the harbor, I don’t believe they call it an Estate but I am. It is old, grand with a private beach and deserves the distinction. This is my fourth visit to their beautiful home and … Continue reading Clam Boil – Megansett Harbor
I have heard the name of this dish a few times. I have never had nor tried to make it. Honestly I don’t believe I ever gave it a second thought; that is until I watched someone make it on Guys Grocery Games last week. Then I go to the thought of; I can make that no problem. And if you haven’t you can too … Continue reading Cacio e Pepe with Shrimp
Are there some recipes you’ve always wanted to try but never do thinking they are too hard or there’s an ingredient you don’t love so you stay away? This is one of those that sounded cool but I am not a fan of mushrooms and it felt or more appropriately sounded a little above my pay grade. I couldn’t have been more wrong, it was … Continue reading Coq Au Vin
Happy Father’s Day!!! This is probably not the first thing that comes to mind of what to make for the men in your life. Personally my husband would and does love this. When you think of Father’s Day – I am sure you think of Grilling something, technically you could grill some fish and spoon this mango salsa over it. I am pretty sure it … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa
OK so I took out one of the flank steaks from the freezer thinking I would make it for dinner last week. I was thinking it would be a great Thursday night thing to do so I found yet another marinade, can one have too many marinade ideas in their repertoire. Per usual it didn’t really turn out like that. My mother-in-law’s 92nd birthday was … Continue reading Balsamic Vinegar Marinated Flank Steak
We here in New Hampshire tend to BBQ all year long. We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible from being indoors for the last 3-4 months. I can also attest to cooking outdoors in pouring rain, freezing temperatures and even during a snowstorm. Not always because I wanted to but if we lose power my oven will not light. I can light … Continue reading BBQ chicken thigh marinade – you need to try this
Sitting at the island on this dreary rainy day thinking of all that I could do in the house and none of it is motivating me too much. Though writing my blog I forgot to pick up some deli ham when I went to the store yesterday to beat the rain. I wanted to use the leftover pork loin in a Cuban Sandwich. I vaguely … Continue reading Pork Loin Marinade

There were a handful of people at the house and we were prepping for the baby shower for my son and daughter-in-law; my first grandbaby the following day. The theme is horses so we are having … Continue reading marinated chicken thighs
