As today is the sixth Friday in Lent – for today’s meatless dish I’ve made a Sweet Potato Ravioli & Sage Butter Sauce. Wonton wrappers are an easy substitute if you don’t want to make your own pasta. The filling is creamy and a bit on the sweet side…the sauce is buttery sage…delicious combination! Continue reading
I just love creamy polenta. It takes some time to make, so I don’t make it often but when I do…. This time I paired it with a spice sausage and shrimp. What a combo! This dish was so rich and full of flavor I had to stop from wanting more. By adding the kale it really gave this dish nutrition and flavor. Wow! Continue reading
What’s on the menu today? Tasty & juicy Pork Chops topped with a savory roasted red pepper sauce. No need to roast fresh ones if you’ve got a jar of roasted red peppers in the pantry or refrigerator. Sautéed with onions and garlic, blended smooth then scooped on top of your pork chops! Can I say “Yum”? Continue reading
Chicken quarters are under utilized in my opinion, very economical and just plain good. I like to grill them in the summer and roast them this time of year. Yet another simple dish to please our happy home. We shared them outside on this beautiful afternoon for a quick but delicious picnic. Continue reading

I am truly on a Mac & Cheese kick! You can’t imagine all the ideas I have floating around in my head. This one was born out of a big block of horseradish cheese I had in my refrigerator.

My Hubby and I love to eat Filet Mignon and Beef Wellington is just a fantastic way to enjoy it. I deconstruct it sometimes so I can make smaller portions of this rich, delicious dish. My Hubby calls it a perfect 10 and I have to say I agree. The Chanterelle mushrooms are in season and oh, so good. They really take this dish over the top! Continue reading
My husband was in the mood for something sweet – so he says to me, “I want a Bizcocho!” Now, I’ve been married to this man for over thirty years and not once have I heard of this ‘Bizcocho’. “What is that?”, I replied. “It’s a cake”, he says.
