First blog of 2023 and I am setting the bar pretty low for myself. Meaning I didn’t cook anything at all last week to share. I was on vacation at an all-inclusive and only ate and drank all week long. We are home now and I am looking forward to making something, anything today, tomorrow and the next day. (Update I just made buttermilk pancakes, … Continue reading Vacation to Dominican Republic
I was just reflecting on how quiet it was sitting out here on the porch with the dog. THEN my son showed up with his dog to let him run around the field to expel some energy. Luckily his dog and our dog get along quite well and chasing tennis balls is the best game ever. Last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went … Continue reading Mongolian Beef & Buuz meat filled dumpling

According to the cookbook this is a Hawaii dish and on the main island there is a dispute to who invented it. I am sure a dish; albeit a recipe HAS to start somewhere.

Hers was in a bibimbap bowl over rice and assorted vegetables. Why has she not made it since being home? it’s been years; I have no … Continue reading Korean Beef Bulgogi
Our trip did not start out quite like I had hoped! How many times have you heard that? We got delayed in Boston and were told we were going to miss our connecting flight in Montreal. They offered another flight on another airline but declined. We thought we would take our chances. We were THIS close to making our connection, we got to our gate … Continue reading Eating Greece & travel days
Firstly Happy Valentine’s Day -I hope everyone had or is having a nice day! So my vacation was amazing even though I had a sore throat for most of it and ended up coming home with strep throat; never had that before and it sucked! I would do it all again, minus the throat issue. My job on the boat was galley cook; I … Continue reading Banana’s Foster Buckle
I am currently sitting next to the Caribbean sea. The wind is blowing the sun is shining and we are getting ready to head out on one of the biggest adventures I think I have ever been on. Sailing on a 39’ catamaran with another couple and we are the captain and crew. Only one of us has actually sailed a boat so wish us … Continue reading Beef Jerky
My daughter has been home for a month now, while she was in Japan she and a few of her expat friends started a weekly meal from another country. One of the first things she did when she got home was declared she wanted to continue this tradition here at home. I personally thought it was a great idea. I will admit that my initial … Continue reading Individual Chocolate Chip Cookie
