Today is a bit chilly and windy. On a day like this I like to serve my Honey a healthy and hearty stew. What could be better than a fish stew on a chilly spring afternoon. You can use any number of sea fare for this dish, but we are partial to sea scallops, They are sweet and tender. Continue reading

Braciole is an Italian American dish. The name meaning thin slices of meat, usually pork, chicken, or beef that are pounded thin and rolled with a stuffing. The traditional stuffing has cheese and bread crumbs, but like all good dishes, this roulade can be made with all sorts of creations. I stuffed pork with pork in this briciole so how could it be anything but delicious. I will defiantly make this dish again. Next time I believe I will try it with red wine. Continue reading
Chocolate. Caramel. Icing. A flavor combination that just wows! Here is a classic chocolate cake with caramel sauce poured all over it. A fantastic chocolate dessert! The longer it sits the more the cake soaks up all that caramel! Top this already fabulous combination with an incredibly delicious chocolate mascarpone icing..double wow! The icing is very light and not overly sweet so it’s perfect for this scrumptious Dulce de Leche Cake… Continue reading
We had to redo our pool last year (I recommend salt water, I love it), and put in new retaining walls around the grounds. I had the brilliant idea of surrounding and mounting all sizes of ceramic pots everywhere. Now it is my duty to fill them with flowering plants. All 32 of them! Although this year I am more cognizant of what I’m planting, it is still a lot of work. All that aside, I wanted to order out tonight, but instead… I opened my refrigerator and freezer to take an account of what I could create that was simple and delicious. So here is what was created. My husband thought it was delicious and way better than takeout. I’m beginning to think I spoil him. I hope I am! Continue reading

I know I’ve said it before, but using the herbs from your garden for marinades and dressings is really quite good. If you don’t have an herb garden, growers markets are a great place to get fresh herbs in abundance. Continue reading
Time for Taco Night! Instead of buying prepackaged tacos how about trying your hand at a fresh new way? These tacos are made with ground pork and seasoned just right.

The burst of flavor in the first bite! These will become a family favorite! Continue reading
During this bountiful time of year I can’t help but use a plethora of herbs in almost everything. I have several varieties of oregano plants that are practically small bushes. So for today’s pesto I used my favorite…Hot and Spicy oregano. This variety has a surprising bite to it that will leave you tasting a little heat at the end. I paired today’s pesto with a brown butter pasta because the combination of the almonds in the pesto and the depth of flavor when you brown butter gives this dish a wonderful nuttiness. This is also a meatless dish, but if you are so inclined, add grilled chicken or shrimp. Whatever works for you! Continue reading
