Today is supposed to be a nice sunny day here in NH it’s about time just saying! Last week we had an epic fail in the kitchen I say we because my husband sort of kind of helped. This is not the first fail but this one was pretty pathetic and whilst in the middle of it my husband said and I quote “you should … Continue reading Spinach Cheddar Souffle
I mostly blog the day my posts come out which is every Sunday. I am getting ready to leave for vacation and will be away for two Sundays and I was worried that I would not have Wifi where I am going so yesterday I wrote 3 blogs; just in case. Honestly I really want to be able to write while I am gone. How … Continue reading Clean out the fridge frittata
Sometimes impromptu BBQ’s just happen. It seems in my life; it happens more than it doesn’t; luckily I am pretty used to them; whether throwing or attending. I can pull together a side or two fairly effortlessly sometimes with the help from a few key ingredients. This happened to us just yesterday; friends invited us over for a BBQ dinner and a fire. I spent … Continue reading Super Simple Potato Salad – just in time for summer
This week I found a new found respect for my cast iron skillet. Don’t get me wrong I have used it many times for certain dishes, mainly something to do with chicken. I actually like to use it on my gas grill for beer can chicken, it is very sturdy and I don’t have to use my nice pans on the grill which tend to … Continue reading Spinach Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Skillet
This last week there wasn’t a lot of cooking going at Clark Towers. It’s been quite some time since we ate out more than in; which is a little sad since I do love to cook and thankfully it doesn’t happen very often but I’m dealing, I did however make lunch yesterday for me and the guys just so I could actually make something well … Continue reading Wilted Spinach Salad
I was at my local grocery store the other day and was looking for some Mahi Mahi they didn’t have fresh and I usually find it in the vacuum sealed frozen section. Unfortunately they did not have any but I did run across a name I have heard a couple of times on TV but have never tried; Barramundi; I was intrigued enough to pick … Continue reading Barramundi with a Butter Garlic Lemon sauce
All through high school I worked at a local Pizza place, there were a few items that I swore that I would never try; they looked and smelled WAY too funky for me. Here is yet another example of never say never. Feta cheese came in a metal vat filled with what I believe was oil or a vinegar maybe. We had to take a … Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan
Yep I did it again; my husband was reading his weekly Sunday magazine this morning and they have a Food & Drink section with a recipe of the week. He said “honey you should make these and blog about them”. I can read between the lines, he really didn’t have any preference if I blogged about them for not; he did however really want me … Continue reading Big Debbie – Oatmeal Creme Pies
For as many zucchini breads I make I messed up a batch a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was karma for me forgetting an ingredient on my initial post and a friend’s bread did not work out for him. SF sorry this post is too late for your sugarless bread. My error was I forgot to add baking soda; it is edible but pretty … Continue reading Problem sweet bread – make bread pudding
Our gardens are doing really well this year for the most part. The only disappointments are my peppers, both the bell and jalapeno’ peppers are just not growing or producing. We have had a bumper crop of zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers. We have been getting a ton of cherry tomatoes and plenty of roma; I fear all of my beef steaks will all turn … Continue reading Zucchini Bread
