You know how we love rice…and I’ve already posted a Cilantro Lime Rice that’s a real favorite, but here’s a real quick and easy cilantro rice that’s good in a pinch if you don’t have fresh cilantro or lime. Goya has some really great products…Don’t be afraid to give them a try! Continue reading
Today is MEATLESS MONDAY! We have 25 beautiful broccoli plants in the garden. After they make the initial broccoli head like the one in the grocery store, the plant starts producing little broccoli shoots. Well, I have many, many little broccoli shoots. Since my husband and I love soup, I decided to make a Broccoli Cheddar Chowder for lunch. I like to top mine with a little hot pepper oil from the best hot peppers I have ever had, Pap’s Peppers from Altoona, Pa, (Oh, So Good)! My son was visiting and he and my husband said it was the best broccoli soup they ever had. What a wonderful compliment… Continue reading
These seasoned chicken thighs are so delicious not to mention tender and juicy! Braised in white wine they almost fall apart when you eat them. The sauce is scrumptious served over rice or potatoes. Believe me, you’ll never look at chicken the same way again! Continue reading

I love a good cocktail whether it is sweet and fruity or as tart as a classic martini. Today however I was in the mood for sweet. I foraged in my freezer and found a frozen strawberry concentrate. It’s nice when you can use things on hand to make a delicious drink! My honey called this one a ‘fruity girly drink‘! It was fruity and sparkling too. I called this drink ‘The Happy Heidi’! Since I recently visited Seneca Lake with my sisters I had several bottles from one of my favorite wineries, J. R. Dill. He makes an excellent sparkling white wine. Just the right amount of dry to sweet ratio. Excellent! I make the trip sometimes just to buy this sparkling delight… Continue reading
The other night we had spaghetti (again!) What’s a better side to pasta than delicious Garlic-Buttered Melted Mozzarella Bread? Not much! A salad is always great but a warm out-of-the-oven piece of garlicky-cheesy bread that you can dip into the sauce is so much better! I got the idea for this recipe from my sister-in-law Maria who makes a fantastic Mozzarella Garlic Bread.Here’s a wonderful and quite simple way to make it! Continue reading
For this catering event, Linda and I thought about dishes that could be prepared ahead and cooked on site. Chicken Satay is always a good go to appetizer and a great protein dish that individuals can pluck onto their plates. Linda and I marinated the chicken in a rosemary marinade for 24 hours. By preparing the chicken a day in advance it allowed for time management and serious flavor impact… Continue reading
At our recent ‘Save the Date’ Catering Event, Heidi and I served delicious Prosciutto wrapped Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan Cheese drizzled with Balsamic Reduction. These asparagus are the perfect accompaniment for any get-together. They’re super easy to make but are so beautiful and delicious that they are almost always the first to disappear! Another addition was Classic Deviled Eggs… Continue reading
Making these croissant sandwiches together as the Fabulous Fare Sisters was a lot of fun. Easy to assemble with just a little preparation done ahead. Having catered our own events for years, Linda and I know when catering it’s important to make some things that can be made days in advance. Here is how we prepared for these croissant sandwiches in advance… Continue reading
