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
It is apple season around here and if you have a few leftover you should check this out. A little chopping and browning and then your oven does most of the work and all in the same pan so little clean up. Sounds like a great Sunday dinner idea. Grab a large skillet and brown your pork loin on all sides. Don’t skip this part … Continue reading Roast Pork Loin with Apples
I wouldn’t say I had a “bumper” crop of tomatoes this year. My husband hates when I buy too many plants, I don’t know why this effects him; he doesn’t deal with them. Anyway I only bought a few plants and they were doing great until we got SO much rain that they did this whole concentric cracking. Yes I had to google what what … Continue reading Garden Tomato Soup
It is Spring around here and my garlic is popping up out of the earth, not as many as last year but I am on my last bulb from last years harvest so happy to have at least a dozen or so bulb for use during the summer. I will be buying it much sooner this time around. Let’s talk about butter, garlic and lemon. … Continue reading Barramundi with a Butter Garlic Lemon sauce
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
