Linguine with Basil & Garlic Aioli
Here’s a simple ‘go to’ for a quick and delicious pasta with little fuss. Pasta Aioli… So simple yet so good! I would eat this a lot in college because it was something that didn’t require a lot of time or money. I will admit in college I used dried spices instead of fresh and my cheese was probably not real cheese but a cheese substitute….LOL! It was good then, but better now that I only have the best ingredients on hand. Continue reading

Fresh Ground Filet Mignon Burgers
So I love filet mignon and it is about the only steak my honey will eat. I like to buy the whole tenderloin and trim it up myself. Next time I make a whole loin, I will demonstrate how to clean the loin. Today however, I used a portion of the trimmings and ground them into excellent, juicy and tender filet mignon burgers. I used a local Handcrafted Artisan Bread from Carter’s. The Parmesan loaf is my favorite for this dish. Hope you get the chance to enjoy these delicious burgers. I paired this burger with a Cabernet Sauvignon from J.R. Dill Winery on the south/east side of Seneca Lake… Continue reading

So when she delivered twenty cups of blueberries, it was pie time, blueberry pancake time, blueberry in my cereal time… blueberries galore!

Excellent Herb Boiled Potatoes
As you get to know Linda and I you will notice that we love all things Jane Austin. Linda would agree that our all time favorite Jane Austen book (and subsequent movie!) would have to be ‘Pride and Prejudice’. There is a scene in the movie where ‘Mr Collins’ is visiting the estate he will inherit, causing all five of the ‘Bennet’ girls to be left without anything, (as only boys could inherit). During their first dinner encounter, he asked the mother ‘Mrs. Bennet’, “To which of your daughters do I have to thank for these excellent boiled potatoes?”. I love that line… In any case, I do love boiled potatoes. They are light, and with the right blend of herbs and of course butter, they are a delicious side for a great steak dinner… Continue reading
