It is apple season around here and if you have a few leftover you should check this out. A little chopping and browning and then your oven does most of the work and all in the same pan so little clean up. Sounds like a great Sunday dinner idea. Grab a large skillet and brown your pork loin on all sides. Don’t skip this part … Continue reading Roast Pork Loin with Apples

A few short years ago I wouldn’t even try this, now I crave it. Whenever we go to Surf Restaurant in Nashua, NH or even their Portsmouth, NH location; I also think they opened one up in MA somewhere, but not sure where. I always get the Tuna Poke with out the wakame salad, I don’t really enjoy the seaweed part of their dish, it … Continue reading Tuna Poke Bowl
Here is a quick and easy summer time dinner or even a nice lunch. Very few ingredients but full of flavor, a little punch of lemon with a little heat from the chile I don’t think you can go wrong. Even if you don’t have the exact ingredients I used I am sure you can pull something similar together. I planted some sunburst cherry tomatoes … Continue reading Spaghetti with lemon and cherry tomatoes
Kind of happy to see the rain today. Hoping it takes care of the ridiculous amount of pollen out there. My porch, driveway, patio and everything on them are pretty much all the same yellowish/green color and it’s disgusting. And if I have to go out and clean it all off I would be sneezing my head off. Maybe next week we can actually open … Continue reading Creamy Coconut Milk Chicken
Just got home to WIFI so here we go! I made a very large meatloaf yesterday morning before we left for The Cape aka Cape Cod to visit family. I ran out of time to write my blog and figured I would just write down there this morning. As you probably figured out that didn’t happen. They just opened up the summer home an the … Continue reading Meatloaf
I made a large pot of Cioppino last night for some family that were visiting. I bought a bag of mussels, a pound and a half of Cod loin and a pound of sea scallops. To say it was a big hit is spot on. The six of us tried to eat ALL of it. We made a point to eat all the seafood as … Continue reading Cioppino – seafood stew
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
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
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
