Asian Ahi Tuna & Veggie Skewers 1
When my Hubby and I have date night, we often go to places where we can order a good appetizer and a drink. Well, we went out this week and ordered one of our favorites only to find out they were out of tuna. That wasn’t going to stop me from wanting it, so the next day I decided to recreate this dish at home and made it for our lunch. My excellent Hubby said mine was better than the one at the restaurant…Oops! I hope he still takes me out for it, I like dressing up!

Chicken Snacker Hack
My youngest son LOVES chicken snackers…but fast food is not a thing I am into. So when he comes home from school I serve him up this little snack. He said they taste just like the ones at KFC, but I know I’m giving him a slightly healthier version and it saves on the wallet too! These little sliders are easy and great for game day… Continue reading →

Deconstructed Beef Wellington With Chanterelle Mushrooms

My Hubby and I love to eat Filet Mignon and Beef Wellington is just a fantastic way to enjoy it. I deconstruct it sometimes so I can make smaller portions of this rich, delicious dish. My Hubby calls it a perfect 10 and I have to say I agree. The Chanterelle mushrooms are in season and oh, so good. They really take this dish over the top!    Continue reading →

Italian Style Parmesan Tilapia
Simple is the key some nights…who am I kidding, most nights! Anyway, today I made a simple Italian style Parmesan (Pecorino Romano) Tilapia. This fish does not have a lot of flavor on its own, so it was the perfect fish to use for this flavorful dish. I served it with spaghetti zucchini and a little garlic butter.  Continue reading →

Creole Style Shrimp Risotto 1

Linda is really the Risotto girl, but every once and a while I’ll make it. It is in my opinion the Yummiest way to eat rice! Here I was in the mood for a spiced version, so I went ahead and Creole’d my Risotto… not sure that’s a real word, but that’s what I did. If you like a little spice go ahead and give this Risotto a whirl. Continue reading →

Spicy Broccoli, Cauliflower & Onion Soup

Spicy Broccoli, Cauliflower & Onion Soup
When we harvested our broccoli this year I froze a fair amount for days like this…the ones where you don’t have a lot of time. This is the perfect soup to make on those crazy active days without sacrificing great flavor. I have three secret ingredients that I use to give this soup depth and warmth. It is very delicious so if you’re in the mood for a great soup and you don’t have a lot of time…this is a go-to. Also if you want to use up the stalks after the florets are used this is also good… Continue reading →
