I really like veggie burgers, but I have to admit I prefer to make my own. I get the occasional Falafel when I am in the city, but at home it’s black bean burgers for me. I like to switch them up with different flavor profiles and this time it was with basil, sun dried tomatoes and a smear of creamy goat cheese. Yummy… Continue reading
On Tuesday I shared a fabulous Cuban Mojo Pork Roast inspired by my husband’s recent trip to Florida – with the intention of making today’s Cuban Sandwiches with the leftovers. I first had a Cuban Sandwich about thirty years ago in Panama at Niko’s Cafe. Since then they’ve been a favorite of mine – but I hadn’t made them in my own kitchen until now. Citrus-marinated pork, thick slices of Tavern Ham, Swiss cheese & Dill pickles pressed between two slices of rustic bread that’s been slathered with Roasted Garlic, Peppercorn & Cilantro Aioli & a dollop of Dijon. Grilled to perfection. Now that’s a sandwich! Continue reading
I learned this recipe several years ago working with a friend who was catering to the masses. This crab cake is highly sought after and the only challenge for me was recreating it for 4 to 6 people instead of 100. It took some doing but I got it! I definitely would give this one a try.

My husband was recently in Orlando and came home extoling a delicious Cuban meal he had – inspired by his comments I decided to put my creative side to work making two Cuban meals this week. The first is this hearty Cuban Mojo Roast Pork; slow-roasted for optimum flavor. Next up, the Cuban Sandwich… Continue reading
I was swapping recipes at a picnic about 15 years ago with a stay at home dad. I’m not one for remembering things if I don’t write them down, but this was one I could remember… 1-2-3-4… Lol! Over the years I’ve changed cheeses to find the perfect creamy combo and I’ve added an extra 1/2 cup of milk for the same reason. I have been known to add herbs, spinach, ham, bacon, chicken, corn and tomatoes … whatever I want to make it a meal. Served here as a side, it is everyone’s favorite. Continue reading
Marinated pork chops are a great weekday dinner. In and out of the kitchen in just twenty minutes. How easy is that? And with a side of Honey Dijon Rice and a salad, it’s just too perfect to pass up! Continue reading
The other day I bought a big package of grape tomatoes for a salad I was making for a picnic, the only problem was when I left the house I left the tomatoes too! Ugh… alas, I decided to make a sautéed tomato and pasta dinner the next night. It was very good – so I am sharing it with you. Continue reading
On today’s menu is a quick and tasty rice. I love to experiment with different flavor combinations. So when I made some pork chops seasoned with honey and dijon, I decided to carry those flavors over in the rice dish that accompanied the meal. Sweet and salty at the same time. Yummy! I’ll share the Honey Dijon Pork Chops on Friday… Continue reading
