Taking this dish out of Linda’s playbook, I decided to make a risotto. With so much zucchini being produced in the garden, I am actively engaged at using them in as many ways as possible. Well, this was a winner! So full of flavor and depth. The rice soaks up every bit of flavor you add and richly delivers them to you with every bite… Continue reading

Cocktail Corner: Mini Blue Bearable
Thank you so much Nicole Oliver from Sinner or Saint Speakeasy (visit on Facebook) for finding a way to drink the gift of Pennsyltucky Moon Shine Corn Whiskey that my excellent Husband received as a gift. The word Moon Shine was a definite in this one. WOW! Professional Mixologist, Nicole spent over an hour in our kitchen concocting cocktails that would make this moon shine drinkable. Excellent job!!! She named the drink Mini Blue Bearable!!! I will definitely make this drink again (substituting the whiskey with vodka)! Thanks again Nicole… Please visit Sinner or Saint’s Facebook page.

Zucchini Spaghetti Shrimp Scampi
The zucchini are here!!! All our plants are blooming beautifully and we love to eat them…like everyone I suspect. We love to make and serve them like spaghetti. What a brilliant little device we use! In any case, I decided to make them with my shrimp scampi sauce. So good I’m not sure my hubby will want his zucchini any other way…light to the tummy and pleasing to the palate! Continue reading

Tasty Tapenade
Although Tapenade is not a pretty dish, it is decidedly delicious! I like to make this when I have impromptu guests coming, because it is simple and always a crowd-pleaser for the olive lovers. The beautiful thing about grocery stores today is you can pick your olives at an olive bar and not purchase jar after jar after jar. Add some cheese, a food processor and a good cracker… Now you have an appetizer worthy of a King! Continue reading

Me Casa Su Casa Red Snapper
Because we are creatures of discovery and experiment, I decided to include you in my latest adventure. Always buying my fish already cleaned and ready for cooking by my wonderful fish monger, I thought when I bought this beautiful red snapper that after asking for the scales to be removed I could simply stuff it and presto… It was not so! Lol… Continue reading

Fiery Roasted Black Bean Soup With Cool Ranch Yogurt
I just love black been soup. I make it several different ways, but this is one of my favorite. I love the heat! A little warning when you make it though…it gets hotter every day, and I always make enough for the week. It’s healthy, full of fiber and gives your metabolism a little boost. When you pair that with the cool yogurt it’s just heaven in a bite… Mmm- Mmm Good… Continue reading

Blueberry Buttermilk Coffee Cake
We have a friend who loves to pick blueberries for us. This morning I decided to make coffee cake, but was without one of my ingredients. Upon inspection of the contents of my refrigerator I still had some buttermilk. To my surprise, they are better with the buttermilk! Another happy oops!!! Continue reading

Eggs Benedict Mac & Cheese
That’s right, you heard me… Eggs Benedict Mac & Cheese! Here is a decadent twist on a breakfast favorite – except we ate it for lunch! Not something you want to eat every day, and it definitely had me adding some laps in the pool… But well worth it! Continue reading
