Sauteed Radishes

I doubt I’m the only person who sautes radishes, but I am the only person I know who does. When our garden starts popping these beautiful little spicy bites, I get excited. They are delicious when plucked straight from the garden and they have a peppery bite to them. Also the health benefits to radishes are many.

They become tender and sweet. The greens are also good for you and are great in soups.  Continue reading

Dijon Marinated Sirloin

Saturday night steak night!

After a quick grilling the beef is tender and flavorful…Enjoy!   Continue reading

Turkey Thigh Cacciatore

I have two secret ingredients that I add in my Cacciatore and I am going to share them with you today. This is a great dish to make for a crowd. You can prepare it ahead and let the oven do the rest. I love making meals that allow me to enjoy my guests. So if you are making it for a crowd use a cut-up chicken or chicken thighs instead. You will also want to cut the time by about 30 minutes as the turkey thighs are very large by comparison. Enjoy!    Continue reading
