When we visited Lauderdale-by-the-Sea last summer I saw a Teriyaki Burger on the menu at Aruba Beach Cafe. Their burger was a beef burger with grilled pineapple and Monterey Jack cheese…sounded really good to me! I actually didn’t order it but it’s been in the back of my mind ever since. So for today’s post I decided to create my own version of a Teriyaki Burger using ground chicken marinated in Honey Teriyaki sauce with fresh minced garlic. Instead of Monterey Jack I found a Mango Fire Cheddar cheese that was both sweet and spicy and used a fresh onion roll to provide the perfect tangy balance. The end result was delicious! So juicy that you may have to keep a few napkins on hand… Continue reading

I love a good challenge! Recently I participated in a North Indian cuisine challenge and today I am submitting these Roman Eggs to The Roman Recipe Challenge hosted by Natascha’s Palace. There is a long, rich history about Eggs in Roman cuisine. I’d never really thought about how they cooked in days long gone but did you know that eggs were one of the most expensive food items? So when they were presented at table they were a delicacy! A recipe for Soft Boiled Eggs with Pine Nut Sauce dates back to the 4th or 5th Century in a Roman cuisine cookbook collection, Apicius, specifically named after Marcus Gavius Apicius, who’s known as the first Gourmet. My recipe has been adapted for modern times and boy is it a delicious breakfast…I can see why they were delicacies!
