Well the clock is counting down for the big guy to make his way down people’s chimney’s. I am excited we have a little one; my 21 month old granddaughter; around to witness the excitement of the season. I hope she doesn’t get too overwhelmed; though if the very loud and lots of people she didn’t know Christmas party we hosted a couple of weeks … Continue reading Christmas meal planning
A couple of weeks ago a friend tagged me in a post about a Chop Local event at a local Inn and Restaurant. I thought oh that isn’t that so sweet she thought of me; shout out to you LW. Then my daughter brought home the entry form for her, her brother and myself. I honestly didn’t think I had a chance in hell; yes … Continue reading Sirloin, Autumn harvest hash, black garlic red wine sauce

While we do like an occasional hotdog, beans and fries dinner; we for the most part want a little more love for dinner. Even though … Continue reading Easiest Pork Shoulder – slow cooker

They take no time at all to cook so this could be a wonderful quick weeknight meal. Even though I made them; I still want to go out for some crispy, tender, juicy fried scallops. They are just … Continue reading Sauteed Scallops & Swiss Chard
I was recently called out for not having any fish recipes; mentioned were two fish that yes I have never blogged about; one being salmon and I am just not a fan. If anyone wants to share their favorite salmon recipe, I might consider trying it but I make NO promises. I think it is a little too fishy tasting for me. The other fish … Continue reading Pan-Seared Swordfish Steak w/mixed peppercorn butter
