I was chatting with my mom on the phone the other day. It was her and my dad’s anniversary and she was telling me all about this wonderful breakfast she had just had at a restaurant. Raving…I mean really raving about it…saying how she hoped it wouldn’t disappear off the menu EVER ‘raving’. As she was describing it to me I thought – well, that doesn’t sound too hard to make…so here Mom – a late anniversary gift just for you! Continue reading
This delightful Orange Yogurt Cake is one of those versatile treats that you can have for breakfast with your morning cup of coffee (tea for me!) or as a dessert with a side of ice cream. It’s dense and rich. Oh. So. Good. Continue reading
Talk about quick, easy and tasty! This Lasagna has it all!!! I was cleaning out the refrigerator and the freezer when I realized I had over bought ricotta and had a huge bag of mini ravioli in the freezer. Presto, an idea was born and boy was it easy. Layer the ravioli instead of the traditional noodles, why not? … (and you can change it up by using different flavor-filled ravioli!) Continue reading
Mole Poblano is an ‘old fashioned’ Mexican sauce that goes way, way back. It’s not as popular as it once was (so I’m told) and I’m not sure why…because it’s truly a great sauce! The combination of the heat of chipotle pepper and the sweetness of chocolate is perfect together. I usually serve my Chicken Mole Poblano with a delicious Coconut Rice. Give it a go – I think you’ll be surprised not only with how easy it is to make, but how truly flavorful this sauce really is! Continue reading
I wait for this salad every year. There are no better salad greens than the little babies that pop up and need to be thinned out. Arugula so sweet you can’t believe it…and Boston Bibb…there was even little baby greens from our new Bok Choy crop. The only thing I wanted to pair this excellent salad with was a perfectly cooked piece of Ahi Tuna and a very fresh Artisan baguette we picked up this morning from the Farmer’s Market. Continue reading
Ahh…the beginning of summer is here! Memorial Day is a day of celebration with family and friends…and what better item to be on the menu than a big beefy Portobello Angus Burger! These burgers have everything….Angus beef, fresh portobello mushrooms and thick slices of red onion roasted to perfection…smoked mozzarella cheese and a dollop or two of balsamic-mayo sauce. Delicious! Continue reading
My hubby makes the best salmon ever and when he makes it, it’s always a great big piece. Well I love that because the next day I make my Crispy Salmon Cakes With Dill Butter. Easy and full of flavor. The added dill butter really makes this dish a winner. Continue reading
Every summer when we were little my parents took us up to ‘the house on the hill’ to visit family. The House on the Hill was the home of my grandmother on my father’s side. She was one of thirteen children! She and my grandfather lived in Philadelphia year-round but during the summer they would head up to her family home and we would all spend time with cousins and aunts and uncles. I have the fondest memories of those summers…the fun, the freedom, the food! My grandmother’s German Potato Salad was one of those additions to the meals that was to die for – one that was delicious served nice and warm but got better and better as it sat in the marinade. Thank you Mom Mom for the wonderful memories and all your delicious recipes… Continue reading
I love the variety of colors you can get from the world of vegetables. My hubby and I are committed to non GMO’s in our garden and in our refrigerator as often as we are able. It’s amazing the plethora of different varieties within the same family of veggies. So much different today than the plain veggies we had growing up. Continue reading
