My husband seriously loves mashed potatoes! The last two weeks he’s been harvesting the delicious dirty little spuds . I’m so thankful he doesn’t ask me to help… So because he is so wonderful, I decided to make this creamy rich version of his favorite spud… Continue reading
The first time I ever tried coffee-rubbed steak was at The Capital Grille. I had a Kona-Rubbed Rib Eye..Wow, what a steak! Mouthwateringly delicious. I wanted to try my hand at making these at home…Today’s steaks were not dry aged but that would certainly make them only that much better. These Rib Eyes were fresh from the Amish Market. They’re seasoned with a coffee-spiced mixture, grilled to perfection then topped with a Dos XX Amber reduction…now that’s the perfect steak! Continue reading
This Saturday morning I was craving something warm and baked for breakfast. After baking these Buttermilk Blueberry & Chocolate Muffins I ate two…the remaining muffins were scarfed down so quickly by my sons and their friends that before I even blinked they were gone! Thank goodness I got to them first… Continue reading
Monday dinner was an Italian meatless spaghetti squash dish which was excellent. However, that put my hubby and I in the mood for a serious Italian meat dish. (Lightbulb)… A traditional Bolognese sauce. I only make this dish a few times a year because it is so rich. In the throws of winter I make it with a creamy Polenta because it just screams comfort, but in the summer I make it with a light and simple Cappellini. You need to start early with this sauce because it takes up to three hours to prepare. It is a great dish for Sundays but it is not Sunday and I want it all the same… Continue reading

I only lasted about a year when I started craving rare beef… I did however develop a love for vegetables and a true appreciation for meatless meals. Although I used to buy my spaghetti squash, now we grow our own… Continue reading
Remember how I love Tres Leches Cake? I consider it the best cake in the world…but…I also love chocolate. Just about anything chocolate! So I said to myself, “Self, why not combine the two?” And of course, myself answered “Why not?!” It was a great combination for a dessert! So, here’s my take on a Chocolate Tres Leches… Continue reading
So simple and still the first appetizer to disappear at every party. It has become a constant request during the holiday seasons. I like to make them and freeze them on a cookie sheet and then store them in a big zip lock bag. When I have surprise guests or just need an appetizer, I pull out how many I need and pop them under the broiler. In 15 minutes I have a tasty ‘sweet & savory’ bite. I accompany this with a sweet and savory sauce and bingo… A Winner! Continue reading
If you like Greek Salad, you’re gonna love these Greek Turkey Burgers. The burgers are seasoned with all the flavors of Greece and topped with a marinated combo reminiscent of a delicious Greek Salad; tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, green peppers, red onions and Kalamata olives marinated in a simple dressing, and feta served on pita bread slathered with a scrumptious Greek yogurt dressing! Fork and knife may be required… Continue reading
