Lomo Saltado…I’m sure a lot of people don’t even know what that is…so let me tell you…It’s pure deliciousness on a plate! A combination of Peruvian & Chinese. I usually order this yummy meal when we visit our local Ecuadorian restaurant El Sitio in Collingswood, NJ. But this time I wanted to try my hand at making it at home…end result – Fabulous!

Swordfish & Pepper Kabobs
We recently purchased a small charcoal grill to test the difference between gas and charcoal. I’m really impressed with the flavor impact a charcoal grill makes on food…especially when using a hardwood charcoal such as Cowboy brand (can be found at Lowes). I also bought Weber’s New Real Grilling Cookbook – and have made a few of the recipes. They’ve turned out so well (even with a little tweaking) that I would highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who loves to grill! On today’s menu are Swordfish & Pepper Kabobs…these flavorful bites are marinated in a creamy Dijon concoction and skewered with hearty red and green peppers then grilled for a quick and very healthy meal… Continue reading

All American Meatloaf Sandwich
This sandwich is so good that I make the meatloaf just to make the sandwich! My hubby says it’s the best meatloaf sandwich he’s ever had. I for one agree! I hope you get the chance to try this delicious, moist and flavorful loaf on a roll. Continue reading
Ropa Vieja
Here’s another one of our favorite Latin dishes…Ropa Vieja…a Cuban dish meaning ‘old clothes’ that takes a flank steak and braises it in a rich tomato broth with vegetables until the flank steak is so tender that you can pull it apart with a fork. I typically serve this dish with Rice & Black Beans and Maduros on the side. Then the very next day we wrap up the leftover Ropa Vieja along with the Rice & Black Beans in large tortillas and have ourselves delicious burritos! Love those leftovers… Continue reading
Chicken Fajitas
Today was a simple lunch with lots of flavor. My honey and I sat outside and enjoyed our fabulous fajitas. Too bad he had to go back to the office or I would have made some of Linda’s excellent Springtime Sangria. This is a great dish for lunch or dinner… Continue reading
Sausage & Vinegar Pepper Sandwich
There is just something so satisfying about a sausage and pepper sandwich. It’s something you get at a fair or have at a picnic. Well today I was in the mood for just that kind of sandwich. I decided to make it more like a burger and it worked really well… a little less cumbersome to eat too. Continue reading
