I haven’t done a ton of cooking my Viking hood failed me after 20 years. It was a pretty crazy how it all happened. The fan and possibly the lights were on and I walked across the room from the living room to shut it off and got zapped from static electricity. It shut the fan off immediately I shook my hand and probably swore … Continue reading BBQ Marinated Shrimp
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
How many times have you had something stick to your grill, oiled and or hot enough not it happens. I do not proclaim to be a grill master by any means. I have always used a gas grill so it goes without saying that if I were to grill on charcoal flame it would take some adjustment on my part. Who knows maybe some … Continue reading Grilled flounder with a tarragon (mostly parsley) lime Escabeche
Happy Independence Day America!!! Here is NH it is not BBQ weather by any means. We were just sitting out on the porch in our fleece and with blankets on. It is cold, rainy and just plain raw out there. Stark difference from last week when we were in the 90’s. I think it’s like 52′ out there now and supposed to reach a high … Continue reading Steak and Salad
Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day! It is a sunny start here in NH and I again woke to what sounds like a kitten outside my upstairs bedroom window. I have been hearing a bird that sounds like a kitten crying for at least a week now. I also hear it while sitting on the porch after work. I am guessing it must be feeding … Continue reading Chicken and Artichoke skewers with Herb dressing
So a good friend of mine says that one of my super powers is to look at what I have on hand and make a meal with it. My freezer’s are too full so I have been trying to not shop, which a few of you know is hard for me; Stop laughing SF and KP. They know I LOVE to shop which I will … Continue reading grilled shrimp with polenta cake
Here is another week I haven’t made anything new to share with you all. However my daughter was having a couple of friends over so there dog could play with our new rescue. I can’t remember if I mentioned we lost out last rescue after 9 years to bladder cancer in March; we were all super sad and writing this my eyes are tearing up … Continue reading Skirt Steak Fajitas with grilled veggie slaw and a dried chili salsa
Well it was a pretty uninspiring week for food in my house this last week. I didn’t come up with anything new, I was totally fine with eating cereal for dinner every night; we didn’t but I could have. Sometimes I am just not feeling it and then my Yankee New England roots kick in and see some things that need to be eaten or … Continue reading Grilled Za’atar rubbed porkloin with apple cabbage slaw
I hope everyone is doing well! It looks like this pandemic BS is going to continue on for the foreseeable future. I am still working from home and I am quite content with that except I don’t get to see my working teammates or my walking buddies and I really miss them and catching up with what’s going on in their lives. A few weeks … Continue reading Marinated Flank Steak and Salad
