Honey Dijon Rice

On today’s menu is a quick and tasty rice. I love to experiment with different flavor combinations. So when I made some pork chops seasoned with honey and dijon, I decided to carry those flavors over in the rice dish that accompanied the meal. Sweet and salty at the same time. Yummy! I’ll share the Honey Dijon Pork Chops on Friday… Continue reading →

Lemon-Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

I was chatting with my mom on the phone the other day. It was her and my dad’s anniversary and she was telling me all about this wonderful breakfast she had just had at a restaurant. Raving…I mean really raving about it…saying how she hoped it wouldn’t disappear off the menu EVER ‘raving’. As she was describing it to me I thought – well, that doesn’t sound too hard to make…so here Mom – a late anniversary gift just for you! Continue reading →

Chicken Mole Poblano

Mole Poblano is an ‘old fashioned’ Mexican sauce that goes way, way back. It’s not as popular as it once was (so I’m told) and I’m not sure why…because it’s truly a great sauce! The combination of the heat of chipotle pepper and the sweetness of chocolate is perfect together. I usually serve my Chicken Mole Poblano with a delicious Coconut Rice. Give it a go – I think you’ll be surprised not only with how easy it is to make, but how truly flavorful this sauce really is! Continue reading →

German Potato Salad

Every summer when we were little my parents took us up to ‘the house on the hill’ to visit family. The House on the Hill was the home of my grandmother on my father’s side. She was one of thirteen children! She and my grandfather lived in Philadelphia year-round but during the summer they would head up to her family home and we would all spend time with cousins and aunts and uncles. I have the fondest memories of those summers…the fun, the freedom, the food! My grandmother’s German Potato Salad was one of those additions to the meals that was to die for – one that was delicious served nice and warm but got better and better as it sat in the marinade.  Thank you Mom Mom for the wonderful memories and all your delicious recipes… Continue reading →
