This has been a pretty emotional week around the Clark household. Family and Friends came from as far as California and as close as next door to lay to rest the Matriarch of the Clark family. It was a beautiful day and many beautiful tributes to a beautiful woman. She will be missed dearly by so many! My husband and I have been living with … Continue reading Garlic Herb Crusted Center Cut Pork Loin
My daughter and I were at the Asian market the other day. We tend to go once a month, it isn’t close by but worth the drive. She picked up a package of Korean Rice Cakes, I have never even heard of them before, but I am always up for a challenge. They were not a challenge at all, I would compare them to a … Continue reading Korean Rice Cakes and Chicken
Sitting in a breakfast joint in Wilmington NC at the moment (Saturday). I had a different plan for this week’s blog but when I packed my bag yesterday (Friday) I thought don’t forget to grab your laptop and guess what I forgot so here we are. Using my phone is not ideal for this so bear with me. I am in NC trying to coordinate … Continue reading Linguine with lemon garlic shrimp
I was scrolling on my phone, which I know I do way too much. Anyway I watched a reel of chef Mark Murphy make a butternut squash risotto and it looked fabulous. My husband harvested maybe a dozen or so squash a week or so ago. So I knew I wanted to try to replicate what I saw him do. I made butternut squash risotto … Continue reading Butternut Squash Risotto
It is definitely Fall around here, I had the kids come over yesterday to help me put away all the cushions from the patio, the potted plants were done because of the frost the other day so they needed to be tossed. Plus all the toddler toys need to find a home under cover; boy do toddler toys add up lol we do have the … Continue reading Taco Ground Turkey Soup
Better late than never is what I am going with today. I know I usually post around 9am-ish. At least that it what I strive for. Apparently today had other plans. It’s 4pm and I just got out of the shower and am now finally getting to write. I am sitting on the porch, it’s super quiet, the leaves are falling all over the ground. … Continue reading Broccoli and Bacon Quiche
I will be making these for the Patriot’s football game with jalapeno’s from my garden. My plants are still producing, at least for another week, supposed to be another warm week around here. We have been having pub food the last few Sunday’s while the game is on. Just a few short years ago my husband and I pretty much steered clear of Jalapeno’s we … Continue reading Jalapeno Poppers
It is definitely soup season around here, I think they were predicting our first frost. That’s crazy for middle of September but not unheard of. It was 39’F yesterday morning and I did start to close or at least lower most of the windows we had open. I haven’t made this one is a while but It will be on the menu today. I am … Continue reading Sausage Spinach Tortellini soup
I made this last night, my sister-in-law requested eggplant parmesan and this is my go-to recipe. It is the one that helped me change my mind that I didn’t like eggplant even though I had never even tried it. It is also the recipe that brought San Marzano canned tomatoes to my pantry. I do found this recipe in a Food Network Magazine. It is … Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan
I started with wanting to make beef and broccoli and then I went to the garden. It’s been an OK year as I have eluded to in previous posts. Broccoli has always been a bumper crop, until this year. So my beef and broccoli turned into beef and vegetables, which was still very good and If needed to, I would add whatever vegetable I had … Continue reading Beef and Vegetables
