Every time we head over to P.F. Chang’s we all fight over the Chicken Lettuce Wraps and end up ordering another one…now I just make my own version at home – it’s even more flavorful with ground pork (in my humble opinion) and everyone has their own plate – so no fighting! Continue reading
Today I’m sharing a tasty and healthy salmon dish. As mentioned in a previous post, Gremolata is an easy and healthy way to add tons of flavor to any dish. Gremolata is simply a combination of garlic and fresh herbs with lemon. I’ve substituted lime for the lemon in today’s recipe and fresh parsley, oregano and thyme are the herbs of choice. A squeeze of lime juice is the final ingredient to finish off this lovely salmon meal. Continue reading
Need a quick chicken recipe!? Here’s one that has been on the menu at our house for as long as I can remember. So simple yet so flavorful. Chicken thighs do the trick in this recipe, staying nice and juicy while braising in a lemon thyme broth. Great served over mashed potatoes… Continue reading
This simple dish is so easy, healthy and delicious that it is perfect for just you, or a crowd. With little prep work and a fancy presentation you will look like you worked hard in the kitchen while instead you were having a glass of wine on the veranda… Well, that’s what I did! My Hubby and I really enjoyed this meal together. Continue reading
Here’s a really easy and tasty recipe using the simple ingredients of fresh chive & sage and sirloin tips. It’s ready in a flash! I soaked up the juices with some rustic bread and served a salad on the side. Continue reading
I learned this recipe several years ago working with a friend who was catering to the masses. This crab cake is highly sought after and the only challenge for me was recreating it for 4 to 6 people instead of 100. It took some doing but I got it! I definitely would give this one a try.

Today’s Mediterranean Rubbed Chicken is a flavorful addition to the Fiesta Friday party! Crushed fennel and cloves are combined with sweet brown sugar and savory onion, garlic & cumin and rubbed all over chicken breasts, thighs, drums and wings…then grilled to perfection. So much flavor…you’re going to love these! Continue reading
I love a good hearty Stroganoff and I always equated it with my German Heritage only to find out it’s really of Russian origins. Oh well… I make my Stroganoff with goat cheese and leave the sour cream on the table as an add in. The tang of the goat cheese gives this dish great flavor and depth. Great served with egg noodles…I made my own this time, but I also use store bought… Continue reading
During the summer months we try to head down to the beach for at least a week…I think we’ve visited almost every beach-town in the state of NJ! Some years we go solo and sometimes we rent houses with family. A few years ago my brother and his family invited us to share a house with them in Bethany Beach, MD. It’s always a good time when our two families meet – our kids are right around the same ages and have a blast! My brother’s wife Maria and I are good friends – she loves to cook just as much as Heidi and I do! This particular summer we shared the cooking and Maria made a fabulous chili that everyone enjoyed. The kicker was adding a jar of Spaghetti Sauce…what a nice addition that was. Today I’m sharing an adapted version of her recipe; using ground chicken, adding in some fresh garlic and mixing in fire roasted tomatoes. Maria used DelMonte Spaghetti Sauce which I haven’t been able to locate in my area so I use Classico Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic Spaghetti Sauce and it sure hits the spot…Hope this meets with your approval Maria!
