Filet Mignon Tips With Mushrooms, Onions & Thyme

Filet Mignon Tips With Mushrooms, Onions & Thyme 0

What I love about filet mignon beef tips and mushrooms is that the meat is as tender as the mushrooms . When I was a vegetarian, I would substitute mushrooms for meat, so this dish is the best of both worlds. When I want filet I buy the whole tenderloin, then I trim it up and cut all my steaks. Using the whole loin leaves me with pieces that are perfect for tips. It is a very simple dish and here is how I make mine… Continue reading

Baked Tilapia With a Sourdough Parmesan Crust

Baked Tilapia With a Sour Dough Parmesan Crust
Tilapia is a very mild, moist and flaky fish. I love to bake it in the oven for an easy, fast and tasty meal. I’ve adapted a recipe my mother always made that my kids couldn’t get enough of. I know Linda has also used and adapted this dish for her family too. Make this fish for your family and all you’ll hear is… May I have another?     Continue reading

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros are a typical breakfast of Mexico that I first tried quite a few years ago when visiting Cancun. There are so many different additions that can be added for variety. My favorite way to make it is to top it with chorizo sausage. The spicy meat adds such a great flavor to the creamy egg & cheese along with the black bean salsa combo… Continue reading

Fresh Bruschetta & Toast

Fresh Bruschetta & Toast

I love this appetizer!!! Many years ago when I was living in Philadelphia, I extracted this recipe from a chef at a restaurant called Felicia’s. It was one of the best Italian restaurants in Philly at the time. It was even mentioned in the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Sad to say, I heard the restaurant closed which makes me even happier I have this recipe. I never wrote it down because I’ve made it so many times, but I’m writing it down for you today… Continue reading

Skillet Seared Asian Marinated Salmon With Soba Noodles

Skillet Seared Asian Marinated Salmon

My Hubby and I love a good piece of salmon and he takes choosing the perfect piece very seriously (it’s quite cute actually). So when we were at the market and I saw him eyeing up the perfect piece, I knew salmon was on the menu. While he usually makes the salmon for us, I wanted to give it an Asian influence so he graciously handed me the reins. This simple dish was served with Soba noodles for even more flavor. I hope you get the chance to enjoy this salmon dish sometime soon. Here is a link to my hubby’s excellent salmon too … My Hubby’s Salmon Continue reading
