Spinach & Oregano Pesto over Brown Butter Pasta

Spinach & Oregano Pesto over Brown Butter Pasta fabulousfaresisters.com

During this bountiful time of year I can’t help but use a plethora of herbs in almost everything. I have several varieties of oregano plants that are practically small bushes. So for today’s pesto I used my favorite…Hot and Spicy oregano. This variety has a surprising bite to it that will leave you tasting a little heat at the end. I paired today’s pesto with a brown butter pasta because the combination of the almonds in the pesto and the depth of flavor when you brown butter gives this dish a wonderful nuttiness. This is also a meatless dish, but if you are so inclined, add grilled chicken or shrimp. Whatever works for you!   Continue reading

Easy Pork Schnitzel

Pork Schnitzel

A few years ago Raf and I went to Germany for our friend’s wedding. After the wedding we traveled about the country exploring the different areas of Germany and their cuisine. In the gorgeous city of Wiesbaden which is well known for its hot springs, we walked into a German bar and enjoyed a typical German meal. Although Wienerschnitzel is known to be an Austrian favorite we savored the delicious thin breaded veal in this delightful bar. Since then I have made quite a few schnitzels! Pork, chicken and veal…This recipe is very easy to make and can be done in under ten minutes! I usually serve it with German potato salad or make a gravy and serve it over mashed potatoes. You’ll find it delicious with any accompanying side!   Continue reading

Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Cream Sauce

When my dad comes to dinner, whatever I make better have a sauce. My dad is all about the sauce. So when I make Filet Mignon for my family, I make a sauce on the side. I like a good sauce with my steak. My husband on the other hand likes his filet well seasoned, but straight up… no fuss. So I guess this one’s for you Dad… Continue reading

Pork Fried Rice

The other day I purposely made extra Rice Pilaf since the hubby & kiddos like it but I guess I made a bit too much. First leftover chicken and now leftover rice pilaf! I could just serve it alongside a regular meal this week but that’s kind of boring…instead I decided to season some pork and making a yummy Pork Fried Rice. So easy and tasty. And a great way to use up any left over rice!   Continue reading

Montmorency Cherry Chicken

Montmorency Cherry Chicken Fabulousfaresisters.com

When Linda and I were growing up, our mother was always experimenting with recipes. To this day I still have some of her 70’s and 80’s cookbooks. Well, last week I was shopping when I came across a bag of dried Montmorency cherries. This triggered a memory of this delicious chicken my mother used to make. I bought the cherries, called my mom and went to creating a dish I haven’t had in 25 years. Although I made several changes to my mother’s version, it was spectacular. My mother used port but I used a dry white wine. I bought a Bordeaux to use, but changed my mind at the last minute. She also used canned cherries, but I prefer dried. I have to say we ate every last bite… I am definitely using this dish for entertaining.    Continue reading

Savory Chicken Pie

Savory Chicken Pie

What to do with leftover chicken? So, the other night I made Honey-Lemon Glazed Chicken and since one of the boys wasn’t home for dinner a huge chicken breast went untouched. But I hate to see anything go to waste! So today I peeled all that delicious honey-lemon glazed chicken meat off the bone and diced it up. I thought about making chicken salad sandwiches for lunch but decided why not use it in a chicken pie? This chicken pie ended up being the best chicken pie I’ve ever tasted…It really was incredibly delicious! Let me know if you agree…Enjoy!!   Continue reading
