Summer corn on the cob…what vegetable is as sweet and delicious as that? I saw this delicious recipe on Farm Raised Cooking. Jessica’s recipe caught my interest so I decided to give it a try. Jess cooked hers on the grill but it was raining so I had to make some adjustments…..we loved it! Thanks Jessica! Continue reading

Chicken Fajitas

Today was a simple lunch with lots of flavor. My honey and I sat outside and enjoyed our fabulous fajitas. Too bad he had to go back to the office or I would have made some of Linda’s excellent Springtime Sangria. This is a great dish for lunch or dinner… Continue reading

You can never have too much salad. Am I right? It’s so healthy and delicious.

Bacon Butter Popcorn

I know this is going to sound crazy, but when I made the popcorn cauliflower for my son the other day, I was reminded of this awesome snack I get sometimes at The Brickyard Restaurant in The Little League Capitol of the World… Williamsport, Pa. I love this snack because it takes me back to my childhood and the popcorn my mum-mum used to make. She would pop our popcorn in … bacon fat! Not the kind of thing you should eat every day, but oh so good. I’m not quite sure how they make theirs, so here is how I make mine. Continue reading

Popcorn Cauliflower

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables and always has been. Now it is also my son’s favorite too! He likes it best when I make it roasted like little popcorn bites. It is also great as a snack! Continue reading
Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bread Pudding
I love to eat bread pudding. Usually I have it for dessert at Rode’s, one of our local restaurants, where they serve it with a vanilla sauce and I top it with vanilla ice cream (of course!) It’s so good!
On a recent trip to NYC I bought a loaf of Rustic Classico Orange specialty bread at Eataly. Although it was delicious toasted with a little butter on it, it ended up being a little too sweet for sandwiches, so I decided to make a breakfast bread pudding with the day-old leftover bread. I thought that chocolate would really complement the orange bits in the bread so decided to add chocolate chips in between the bread-cube layers. It ended up terrific! This is great for a weekend breakfast or brunch. It can be prepared the night before and baked in the oven first thing in the morning. Continue reading
Sausage & Vinegar Pepper Sandwich

There is just something so satisfying about a sausage and pepper sandwich. It’s something you get at a fair or have at a picnic. Well today I was in the mood for just that kind of sandwich. I decided to make it more like a burger and it worked really well… a little less cumbersome to eat too. Continue reading
Cilantro Lime Rice
As you know I love to make all different kinds of rice to keep the hubby happy! He prefers rice over potatoes so I’ve been kept on my toes trying to think of creative ways to use rice. This Cilantro Lime Rice is a real favorite! I served it just the other day with Sunday’s Slow-Roasted Pork Roast. I use vidalia onions because they’re a great summertime onion but you can use just about any onion you’d like… Continue reading
