One morning I was making pancakes and was pulling the ingredients out of the refrigerator when I spotted some of my leftover Whipped Sweet Potato Delight, (which I will be blogging later this week)…light-bulb! Why not add the sweet potatoes to the pancakes! Well, a star was born. Sometimes I serve it with chutney, but today I decided to make a Maple Brandy syrup. Wow! Talk about breakfast with a kick! I hope you get the chance to enjoy these wonderful pancakes… Continue reading
It’s supposed to snow tonight in the Northeast. Here in New Jersey it will be our first big storm of the year…in fact of the whole winter season. We have been lucky to only get a dusting so far. So in anticipation of being snowed in over the weekend I made a tasty pot of chili. I have been making this particular chili con carne for thirty years now. So to me it’s a classic! I have made all different types of chili over these many years, but always come back to this one. It’s just that good… Continue reading
So I’ve been told a big snow storm is heading my way and that always makes me want a yummy and comforting soup. My honey loves tortellini and potatoes, so today that is what is on the menu for lunch! Comfort all the way… Continue reading
Great minds think alike! Heidi shared a great pork tenderloin recipe yesterday and pork is on the menu again today. It’s a healthy alternative to beef!
I really like Jerk seasoning and haven’t made it in a while…with this meal I decided to not only marinate the pork chops in the jerk seasoning but to also make a rice with the same marinade. It turned out great! Here’s another addition to the Pork Night Repertoire!
Note: My mom recently came to visit me for a few days and she brought along with her some lovely linens…she wanted me to use them for our blog! She’s such a sweetie…so Mom, here’s the pink one…Thank you for giving me such lovely linens!! Continue reading
I love pork tenderloin. It’s easy to cook, lean for your waist and tender when cooked the perfect medium. With time to marinade it can take on tons of flavor. Today we had Asian infused pork tenderloin with white rice and a simple salad. January is the month after all to begin to shed those unwanted Christmas pounds and this pork is sure to satisfy… Continue reading
Today I have a guest blogger: my son Andres! The other day he wanted to make a Tiramisu. All I had to do was advise him while he tried his hand at making it. It was a success! Turned out absolutely perfect and we all loved it! Great job Andres… Continue reading
Here’s a twist on a classic chicken dish…seasoning the chicken with the lemon and basil adds great flavor and the creamy mustard sauce is divine! The chicken stays juicy and the flavor has the perfect amount of kick! Great served with a side of rice and veggies… Continue reading
I love to make homemade pasta on cold windy days when you just want to stay indoors and hibernate. So when I get that inclination, I go to town creating the food I desire. If you want to make your own fresh pasta, use my earlier post Pasta Made With Love, I don’t usually buy tomatoes this time of year, but the Roma’s looked so roast-able I couldn’t resist. Add a little protein, some mushrooms and fresh basil in a white wine and butter sauce and you have my name all over it! My hubby loved it too!!! Continue reading
I don’t know where the original recipe came from, but Heidi shared this recipe years ago with the family and we’ve all been making these delicious Crab Muffins as appetizers ever since. They’ve become a true classic! Hope you’re able to give them a try…the upcoming Superbowl 50 on Sunday, February 7th may be just the day to make ’em…they’re not something you want to have if you’re on a diet – but are definitely decadently delicious and so easy to make… Continue reading
