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
Today is Super Bowl Sunday and I have chicken wings two ways, Buffalo and some seasoned wings with salt, pepper and onion powder. I will be baking them only. I also have ingredients to make Italian grinders along with the all non-traditional veggies and dip just to offer something a little lighter. But since I am sure you already have a plan for your game … Continue reading Pan Seared Scallops and Risotto
Firstly I hope you are well and hanging in there. I know everyone’s situation is different depending on the severity of the pandemic in your area but this is affecting all of us. I have been working from home for the last two weeks and I am very grateful that I am able to. I am trying to stay home as much as possible. During … Continue reading Simple BBQ Pulled Pork and Easy Coleslaw
Most of the time I go to the grocery store with a plan of what I need to pick up based on what we want to eat for the week. Or more like what I feel like making for the week. I do ask; sometimes what the house wants but really it’s mostly up to me. I also mostly go to the store alone but … Continue reading roasted chicken breast acorn squash sheet pan
It has been a crazy week and I haven’t made anything new to share so I thought I would bring back an oldie but a goody. I have made this several times and it is always a crowd pleaser. I hope if you haven’t made this recipe yet, it’s time – maybe for the fourth of July bbq? If you haven’t ever purchase or tried … Continue reading Grilled Skirt or Flank Steak
I realize I am still technically on vacation, we just arrived on St Thomas where we will be boarding our plane tomorrow night. I also apologize for the delay in posting this; our last night in the BVI we did not have WIFI and this is the first I have had to sit and relax a second. Never been a fan of travel days. It’s … Continue reading Garlic and Herb Crusted Standing Rib Roast
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
I seem to break the cardinal rule of “never make a new dish to serve company” fairly often. I also always confess up front that this is a new dish; I am not sure how it’s going to come out or taste. I think I confess upfront just in case it’s not a hit; kind of a cop out isn’t it! Maybe I will turn over … Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Salad
I am very grateful we built our dream home with an amazing kitchen several years ago. I am extremely happy I fought so hard to get my Viking stove. I cannot be totally positive but I do wonder if we would have been so adventurous with meals if we didn’t make the decisions we did. I am not saying we have made, eaten or even … Continue reading Simple BBQ Pulled Pork and Easy Coleslaw
I was sitting at the island yesterday morning updating a couple of FB pages we have, my husband’s company website and scheduling some cooking classes when my husband decided he would love for me to make him some clam chowder. I didn’t have any clam juice or can’s of clams in my cupboard. which is kind of shocking to even me, especially since they would sit quite nicely … Continue reading Clam Chowdah – I am from New England – it’s legal
