Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken Tikka Masala
Today’s post is a little different…a little out of my ‘comfort zone’. At the end of February my fellow blogger & friend Lina from Lin’s Recipe’s sent out a challenge to make different North Indian cuisine. I was intrigued! I’d never made Indian cuisine before and had only eaten it once or twice so I really wanted to participate – as I said, to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new. I chose Chicken Tikka Masala…after a little research (All Recipes, Bon Appetit, Food Network & Epicurious) I realized that each recipe was different so instead of following one of theirs I created my own unique Chicken Tikka Masala recipe! I think Lina’s going to be happy with the results…I know I was!

Rosemary Roasted Leg of Lamb

As I was pondering what I would write today, remembering that it is Holy Thursday, my thoughts strayed to the fact that today marks the end of Lent and the beginning of the sacred “Triduum”, the three holiest days of the Christian faith. I thought of Jesus and his sacrifice for us as the sacrificial lamb and so for today’s post I made a Rosemary Roasted Leg of Lamb in honor of Him. I roasted potatoes along with the Lamb and it turned out beautiful… Continue reading →

Cabo Fish Tacos

It’s TACO TUESDAY! My favorite day of the month…The idea for these tacos came from one I saw on a Fuego Tortilla Grill menu that sounded pretty darn good. Their taco was filled with shrimp, seasoned with soy, ginger, & citrus and served with a Mexican slaw, pico de gallo, & jack cheese in a corn tortilla. I’ve substituted Tilapia for the shrimp and experimented with the marinade and Mexican slaw until it was just right! Hope you give it a go…

Sweet Potato Raviolis & Sage Butter Sauce

As today is the sixth Friday in Lent – for today’s meatless dish I’ve made a Sweet Potato Ravioli & Sage Butter Sauce. Wonton wrappers are an easy substitute if you don’t want to make your own pasta. The filling is creamy and a bit on the sweet side…the sauce is buttery sage…delicious combination!  Continue reading →

Bizcocho de Caramelo

Bizcocho de Caramelo

My husband was in the mood for something sweet – so he says to me, “I want a Bizcocho!” Now, I’ve been married to this man for over thirty years and not once have I heard of this ‘Bizcocho’. “What is that?”, I replied. “It’s a cake”, he says. A cake that he used to get at a little bakery around the corner from his house growing up. No wonder I didn’t have a clue what it was – but after a little research I found that ‘Bizcocho’ is actually a word that applies to many sweet desserts; cake, cupcakes, cookies…basically anything sweet sold at a bakery! So I concocted my own Bizcocho and named it ‘Bizcocho de Caramelo’.   Note: This dessert has been featured on Fiesta Friday! Continue reading →
