I love a good hearty Stroganoff and I always equated it with my German Heritage only to find out it’s really of Russian origins. Oh well… I make my Stroganoff with goat cheese and leave the sour cream on the table as an add in. The tang of the goat cheese gives this dish great flavor and depth. Great served with egg noodles…I made my own this time, but I also use store bought… Continue reading
Sometimes you want a pasta but not the old standby spaghetti & meatball kind… I love to experiment with all those different types of pasta found in the pasta aisle – combining sauces that will fit each little noodle to a Tee! This pasta is a wonderful sauce of bacon & pancetta with diced tomatoes served over Fusilli. Warm, comforting and absolutely delicious… Continue reading
You don’t have to go out to have a great noodle bowl…You can have one right at home. Asian inspired flavors are a favorite in the summer for me and rice noodles are great hot or cold. I grind my own pork because I like it really fresh, but unseasoned pork is fine to use too… Continue reading

STOP THE CLOCK AND TAKE THE PHONE OFF THE HOOK!!! Wow is this Mac & Cheese Good! If you haven’t heard me say it before, you’ll hear me say it now… I love mac & cheese.

So far this is absolutely my favorite! Yummy, delicious, can’t get enough. Even my Hubby who is not a fan of all things ‘Buffalo style’ had three helpings. Here, have a bite… Continue reading
When we visited Lauderdale-by-the-Sea last summer I saw a Teriyaki Burger on the menu at Aruba Beach Cafe. Their burger was a beef burger with grilled pineapple and Monterey Jack cheese…sounded really good to me! I actually didn’t order it but it’s been in the back of my mind ever since. So for today’s post I decided to create my own version of a Teriyaki Burger using ground chicken marinated in Honey Teriyaki sauce with fresh minced garlic. Instead of Monterey Jack I found a Mango Fire Cheddar cheese that was both sweet and spicy and used a fresh onion roll to provide the perfect tangy balance. The end result was delicious! So juicy that you may have to keep a few napkins on hand… Continue reading
