Corn on the cob used to be just a summertime treat… nowadays almost every supermarket has packs ready to buy so there’s no excuse not to keep on grilling even into autumn. Today’s salad is great for a quick lunch or as a side to any entree…

I recently taught a cooking class online using Zoom for a group of women….I had never done this before and I was a little bit nervous…but turns out once everyone showed up it was so much fun and I had a blast! I decided to share a recipe that was very easy…Penne Pesto…one of my go-to’s when the family is very hungry and dinner has to be ready in under 30 (actually 20!) minutes…

Linda and I decided that we would share two versions of Caprese Salad this week…since soon we will have way too many cherry tomatoes to count, mine is made with an abundance of cherry tomatoes…I love this version of a Caprese Salad. It’s simple, marinated, can be made in advance and is great for a summer side, plus I have a little tip that makes the cherry tomatoes even better. I made it to eat for my Honey while we played Chinese Checkers. Just us and a toothpick! Continue reading

Heidi will be sharing another version of Caprese Salad on Thursday…it’s amazing how different a small change can make! Continue reading
Date nights are my favorite nights!!! I love to get all dolled up for my Hubby and go out for a glass of wine and a little bite (that I didn’t have to cook!)…One of the dishes we get at Moon & Raven Public House is their Sautéed Calamari.

Wanting to have Sautéed Calamari, I decided to come up with a dish of my own inspired by one of our favorite dishes. Late Night Date Night at home… Continue reading
My Hubby loves mashed potatoes… He would eat them every day if I made them. Well instead of mashed potatoes this time I made very creamy polenta. Granted it takes a little longer to reach this perfect creamy consistency, but the flavor of the polenta is rich and delicious. Pair it with some seared scallops and you have greatness!

Simple is the key some nights…who am I kidding, most nights! Anyway, today I made a simple Italian style Parmesan (Pecorino Romano) Tilapia. This fish does not have a lot of flavor on its own, so it was the perfect fish to use for this flavorful dish. I served it with spaghetti zucchini and a little garlic butter. Continue reading
This melt-in-your-mouth Filet Mignon is fabulous! Perfect for grilling on the charcoal grill or popping into a very hot oven in a cast iron skillet…My boys just love these steaks! Continue reading
