Summer is over…all that’s left in the garden are the Brussels Sprouts which we don’t pick until after the first frost. I have tons of red onions in cold storage and a few straggling green tomatoes. So to grasp what I can at the threads of summer I made fried green tomatoes with Pink Peppercorn Pickled Onions!!! Just a note, the pickled onions can’t be made on the same day. Make at least two to three days in advance… Continue reading

Call me crazy, but my idea of a romantic evening involves sitting on the back porch with a huge amount of king crab legs spread out on newspaper, lots of butter, a bottle of wine and the sun setting! Well, that’s just what we did last night. You know the knuckle part at the crab that holds all the claws together? I save that part and clean it the next day to turn into another meal. Since I also have copious amounts of tomatoes – lunch was a no brainier… Continue reading
Sometimes I grill these eggplants on the new charcoal grill we bought and sometimes I pop them on my grill pan on the stove-top. Either way they’re sure to please! The Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette is so good – and it can be used on more than just these deliciously grilled eggplants… Continue reading

It is not only appealing to the eye, it tastes great too… Continue reading

I Love, Love, Love this salad!!! Kale has never been so good! It has the perfect amount of crunchy to creamy…sweet to tart! Unlike other salads you want to dress the kale early so it softens a little. You’ll crave this baby if you make it… Continue reading
This was a wonderful lunch for my Hubby and I while we played Chinese checkers…(which is really a German game…)?! Since zucchini are pouring out of my garden, making them new and delicious is a must. I didn’t want to make the same old fried or spaghetti zucchini and since I love all things smoked I decided to make the whole dish a smoky flavored dish…Success!!! Don’t you love when that happens??? Continue reading
It’s Taco Tuesday! I think this is by far my favorite taco! A hearty fried corn tortilla filled with sirloin steak that’s been marinated in a smoky sauce then flash-grilled and topped with homemade Mango Pico de Gallo and Smoky Chipotle Aïoli…so much flavor in such a little taco! WOW!! Continue reading
