I made these biscuits to accompany Wednesday’s Pork & Blackeyed Pea Chili. With a subtle sweet potato flavor and just a hint of spice, the smell alone brought my boys into the kitchen asking what was cooking! They paired perfectly with the chili… Continue reading

Everyone in my family loves bacon & egg sandwiches for breakfast. We might not have them everyday but we certainly have them often. For today’s sandwich I made it just a wee bit different. Toasting up a hearty slice of Italian round loaf bread and slathering it with a little bit of creamy ricotta, drizzling on some fresh sweet honey and topping it all with crisp thick bacon and a fried egg. I loved it! I’ll be making these again and again… Continue reading
This Fall we will be visiting the Amalfi Coast in Italy. During my searches for lodging and restaurants I researched the flavors of Amalfi to see what is common along the coast. Lemons are the most popular food item found in this region of Italy. Other flavors of Amalfi are anchovies and various seafood. Also, the Monti Lattari mountain region has many dairy farms that produce fresh ricotta and provolone cheeses. I can’t wait to explore this wonderful part of Italy. In the meantime I brought the flavors of Amalfi into my humble kitchen using fresh ingredients from the local supermarket! Come join me in my kitchen for a delicious risotto… Continue reading

It’s great for lunch or dinner…easy to make…easy to eat! Continue reading
Kung Pao Chicken is a traditional Chinese dish believed to have originated in the 1800s in the Sichuan Province. Diced marinated chicken, peanuts & chili peppers along with Sichuan peppercorns are the original ingredients. Sichuan peppercorns are available for online purchase but I’m all for ease and simplicity. So, for today’s recipe I’ve adapted those ingredients and used ones directly out of the local supermarket. Today’s chicken is marinated in a mildly spicy combination of Asian Szechuan sauce, hoisin sauce, Tamari soy sauce & five spice powder. To pump up the health factor, tri-colored peppers & broccoli have been added to the stir fry. End result? Delicious! Continue reading
It’s Taco Tuesday! My favorite day of the month when I experiment with new and different flavors for tacos…This is another taco that I found on a menu from Fuego Tortilla Grill. I’ve never actually been there but I sometimes will spend time just perusing restaurant menus to get ideas and this one grabbed my attention. It’s called Cowboy Tacos and it listed Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce as one of it’s ingredients…that sounds tempting…doesn’t it!? But why let all the Cowboys have the fun? Here’s my spin on this taco which I’m gladly renaming Cowgirl Tacos! Continue reading
