Porterhouse Steak with Caramelized Onions & Rosemary

Porterhouse Steak with Caramelized Onions & Rosemary

Meatlovers beware! This recipe is to die for! I ordered this Porterhouse steak 21 days ago and asked my butcher to dry-age it until I came to pick it up…It was pricey but oh so worth it! What a beautiful steak. If you ever get a chance I really recommend asking your butcher for dry-aged cuts. Anything from 14-21 days is perfect. Searing all that flavor using intense heat and topping with caramelized onions…so good..you don’t need to go to a steak house for this one… Continue reading

Decadent Lasagna With Bolognese & Bechamel Sauce

Decadent Lasagna With Bolognese & Bechamel Sauce

This Lasagna is out of this world as Linda and her boys can attest to. My hubby says it’s the best Lasagna he’s ever had and I for one love to eat it. It’s not the easiest lasagna to make but it is the best I’ve ever made. I always make it after I’ve made a traditional Bolognese. This is the perfect dish for a cold Sunday afternoon when you just feel like cooking… Continue reading

Hearty Chicken & Ham Soup

Hearty Chicken & Ham Soup

As the beautiful orange, red and yellow leaves begin to fall from their once high perch, I am feeling the chill in the air.   A warm soup is on my mind. So this morning I dashed to the store to buy the ingredients for one of my quick and simple soups. Since I have the fortune and pleasure of having my hubby home for lunch, I wanted to give him a hearty bowl of love… Continue reading

British Classic Steak & Ale Pie

On our first afternoon in London we visited Taylor & Walker’s Silver Cross Whitehall Pub located in the heart of London right off of Trafalgar Square. We were so excited to eat our first ‘English’ meal! We chose a British Classic – Steak & Ale Pie. They describe this pie on the menu as “A British classic with a Taylor Walker spin! 100% British beef, slow cooked in our rich 1730 pale ale gravy encased in crisp pastry. Served with mashed potatoes, fresh seasonal vegetables and a jug of gravy.” Each pie was individually sized and so hearty and flavorful…

Tapioca Flour Cohita Rolls Mystery Menu Course One

Heidi and I love to go to restaurants! In fact, many times we recreate the food we enjoy in restaurants and serve it to our families as we’ve already shown you in some of our previous posts such as Mushroom & Sausage Risotto, Classic Shrimp ScampiSpringtime SangriaCrab Cake Sandwiches and Herb Roasted Marinated Chicken. In tribute to the many wonderful restaurants we visit we are adding a new series to our blog: Restaurant Review. In this series Heidi and I will review a restaurant that we have visited and share our feedback with you!

To start off the series I will be sharing some fabulous restaurants that my husband and I visited during our recent vacation in London, England and Paris, France. This first restaurant, OKA Gastronomia Franco-Brasileira is located at 28 rue de la tour D’Auvergne 75009 Paris. Less than a mile walk from our Hotel, the Marriott Ambassador, we traversed the streets of Paris enjoying the beautiful architecture and lively crowds to get to this French-Brazilian restaurant… Continue reading

This past Saturday I was off to visit my favorite Boutique Hotel with my hubby! I shared this recipe with you all so you could join in on the fun! I love Tuna Carpaccio…And there is a restaurant in Philadelphia that my husband and I frequent when we are there. My husband is not a big fan of the city, but I am. So several times a year the love of my life takes me for my ‘City Fix’! I love the Carpaccio for breakfast at Parc Restaurant Bistro on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. My idea of heaven in breakfast is a mimosa and raw tuna. Go figure, but it is what it is. After a few times eating it at Parc, I finally deduced how to reproduce a version of my own at home… Continue reading
