Are there some recipes you’ve always wanted to try but never do thinking they are too hard or there’s an ingredient you don’t love so you stay away? This is one of those that sounded cool but I am not a fan of mushrooms and it felt or more appropriately sounded a little above my pay grade. I couldn’t have been more wrong, it was … Continue reading Coq Au Vin
I try to share something yummy I made during the last week, which I am going to do but I didn’t take my usual pictures that I generally do. I made the entire #worldwidewednesday meal myself this last week because Abbi is on vacation in Michigan with her friend Meg. We “traveled” to Turkey and since I was on my own I figured I would … Continue reading Lemon Yogurt Cake
Sitting here thinking of what to have for breakfast and knowing I need to blog soon. This week was my 10th anniversary of writing my food blog. I was going to post a “yeah me” post but it was a crazy week and I just didn’t have the time. I am on the board, actually the secretary, of a local charity. We put on our … Continue reading Shredded Hash Brown Cups
Happy Father’s Day!!! This is probably not the first thing that comes to mind of what to make for the men in your life. Personally my husband would and does love this. When you think of Father’s Day – I am sure you think of Grilling something, technically you could grill some fish and spoon this mango salsa over it. I am pretty sure it … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa
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
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I know it’s a little early for fresh corn around here; but it’s coming soon enough! We prepped the gardens but we don’t start planting until this weekend. We have had some crazy frost this year so much so that a few of our trees had their leaves shrivel up and fall off. Not sure what that oak tree behind the … Continue reading Fresh Corn Tomato Bacon Salad
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
Sitting here kind of freezing on the porch. My husbands great idea, let’s have coffee and tea on the porch. It’s a whopping 45 degree’s and the wind is blowing. Oh and there is no morning sun out here. I have a fleece on, Tea in a insulated cup, a blanket and sitting on a faux sheepskin pretty much regretting setting up out here to … Continue reading Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls
With Mother’s Day coming up next weekend I have a few ideas for a nice breakfast or brunch. This morning my husband threw some bacon in the oven. I asked what we were having for breakfast, his response was bacon; ummm what else? No plan just bacon, he wasn’t kidding he literally just made bacon. My mind goes to pancakes; he can make or waffles … Continue reading Sunday Breakfast Brunch
