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
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
My garden is producing a few things besides weeds and one of which is broccoli. My mother will like this story. When I was a kid I did not like green vegetables. I think all I would eat was cucumbers and ice berg lettuce. I can tell you exactly when I started eating broccoli it was June 1990. Why do I know this? I was … Continue reading Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
We here in NH are enjoying a lovely fourth of July weekend! The best day of the long weekend was definitely the 4th itself in my little hamlet. Not too hot, lots of sun and a great breeze to keep the bugs away. I had a couple of ears of corn leftover along with some broccoli in the fridge. I also had some chopped up … Continue reading Sauteed Broccoli and Corn
This coming week is going to be a crazy cold one around here. They are saying that Tuesday will be a high of 11 degrees F. and of course I have a dentist appointment first thing in the morning; yeah me. Sounds like a hot soup kind of day/week. Here is one warms the belly and I love but don’t make it very often because … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Last night I was watching the last season of The Great British Baking show and the task was to make 2 different flavor profile quiche. I know this might come as a shock but I have never made quiche before; I know what is my damage. Honestly I haven’t really had any that blew my skirt up; if you get my drift. They have been … Continue reading Ham, Broccoli and the Cheesiest Quiche
“I hope you are going to blog about this; it is delicious” “I am going to have this for lunch on Monday; maybe even tomorrow too” just a couple of quotes from my fam after eating last night’s dinner. So here I am going to share it with you. Though a little back story, it was NOT what I had intended on making at all. … Continue reading Sausage & Broccoli Pasta
I am feeling especially loved this week! I will have been in Rome for one day while you are reading this. The week of my departure, it was just too damn cute; my in-laws were waiting for me when I got home from work to say Arrivederci. Our friends that we met up with in Montreal came and spent the night, no less their anniversary … Continue reading Fettuccini Alfredo – Leaving tonight (Fri) for Italy
So I harvested all of my garlic yesterday as well as several zucchini and cucumbers but only one summer squash and a few tomatoes and a couple of onions. We have been getting broccoli pretty steady for a couple of weeks now. My garlic ended up with pretty small bulbs but there are 68 of them so I think we should be OK for a … Continue reading Broccoli Cheddar Soup (from my garden)
Have you ever tried to re-create a dish you had while eating out? I have definitely tried; some were successful some not so much. I do make a mean Crab Rangoon and I love making Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings. There is a recipe from my favorite local restaurant that I order every time we go that eludes me; Lemongrass Chicken with a Caramel Sauce served … Continue reading Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
