This weather calls for a warm dessert…this Pear & Apple Crisp is just the ticket! When it’s in the oven, the aroma pulls everyone into the kitchen…serve up a plate and chat away! It’s great alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… Continue reading
On our first afternoon in London we visited Taylor & Walker’s Silver Cross Whitehall Pub located in the heart of London right off of Trafalgar Square. We were so excited to eat our first ‘English’ meal! We chose a British Classic – Steak & Ale Pie. They describe this pie on the menu as “A British classic with a Taylor Walker spin! 100% British beef, slow cooked in our rich 1730 pale ale gravy encased in crisp pastry. Served with mashed potatoes, fresh seasonal vegetables and a jug of gravy.” Each pie was individually sized and so hearty and flavorful…
When we got home this classic made it to this week’s menu. A larger pie feeds a whole family. Everyone thought it tasted rich & hearty. The end result: Delicious! Continue reading
Mystery Menu Course OneHeidi and I love to go to restaurants! In fact, many times we recreate the food we enjoy in restaurants and serve it to our families as we’ve already shown you in some of our previous posts such as Mushroom & Sausage Risotto, Classic Shrimp Scampi, Springtime Sangria, Crab Cake Sandwiches and Herb Roasted Marinated Chicken. In tribute to the many wonderful restaurants we visit we are adding a new series to our blog: Restaurant Review. In this series Heidi and I will review a restaurant that we have visited and share our feedback with you!

By now you must know our love for burgers! This Italian Chicken Burger is on the lighter side…yea! All the flavors of a Chicken Parmesan in a burger..who wouldn’t like that!? Quick and easy Friday night burger that’s so tasteful you won’t need to go out! If you’re not in the mood to add the sauce then by all means pop some bbq sauce and bacon on your burger or layer on the BLT and your favorite condiments. Any way you dress ’em up, you’re gonna love ’em! Continue reading
On Date Night I made these Sautéed Skillet Potatoes to accompany the Spanish Stuffed Pork Chops. I wanted to keep the Spanish flavor in the potatoes so I seasoned them with the same spices that I used for seasoning the pork chops. They are a very tasty compliment to any entree.. Continue reading
Today is MEATLESS MONDAY! Pasta is probably the easiest dish in the world to make, which is why everyone loves to make it. I was scanning the grocery aisle looking at all the different types of pasta and grabbed a box of Gemelli. Then from the cheese department, creamy fresh Ricotta con Latte was calling my name. Combined with crushed tomatoes and topped with mozzarella what could be more simple yet delicious? This was the perfect combination for a Meatless Monday dish… Continue reading
