Sweet Onion & Swiss Cheese Dip

| Linda


This is another variation of my sister Bethann’s Vidalia Onion Dip recipe that Heidi and I have been making for many years. For this recipe I’ve sautéed the sweet onions about twenty minutes to caramelize them – adding a sweet depth to the dip. My favorite crackers to spread this delicious dip on are Breton Crackers…ENJOY!   Continue reading →

Beef & Lamb Gyros Salad With Grilled Red Onions, Goat Cheese & Tzatziki Dressing
I love a good Gyro and when I found the gyro meat package at Sam’s Club I was all in! Wanting to make it a little lighter than the wrap, I opted for a salad instead.

Busiate con Zucca & Salsiccia

| Linda

During our recent visit to NYC, Heidi and I visited Eataly on 5th Avenue to peruse their Italian goods. We both picked up this Busiate pasta and made a plan to each make something different with it…so, for today’s meal I roasted some butternut squash (Zucca) and cooked up some mild Italian sausage (Salsiccia) seasoned with a touch of nutmeg …added a white wine-cream sauce and voilà! A star was born… Continue reading →
