This dish was born out of the leftover turkey breast I made for Christmas. With the leftovers I decided to make a stew. My butcher had taken the bone out of the breast for me, so I made a stock. I have to admit it was better than on Christmas day. Simple but delicious! Continue reading

Bangers & Mash

We have this cozy English Pub in Philadelphia that serves the best British fare in the area. It’s actually one of Heidi’s favorite restaurants! The Dandelion serves comfort food in a warm, charming setting. We recently met Heidi and her Hubby there to celebrate her Birthday. That evening it was a beautiful night and we sat outside; two weeks later we took my son to celebrate his 21st Birthday and sat inside, upstairs in a quiet comfortable cubby. Bangers and Mash is what I ordered both times. They’re so tasty I decided to give them a go at home. They turned out wonderful… Continue reading
Sweet Potato & Onion Quiche
I always serve quiche on Christmas morning. It is easy to prepare the egg mixtures the day before, then refrigerate until Christmas morning. When I wake up I put them in the crust and cook them until they are done. This year I wanted to add a new quiche to the standard spinach and bacon & cheese quiches I always make. So, I decided to try sweet potatoes…Wow, what a hit! Continue reading
Creamy Swiss & Mushroom Mac & Cheese

Another Monday with Mac & Cheese. I made this one to sort of mimic my Mushroom soup. This might just be my best one yet! If you love mushrooms you will love this Mac & Cheese… It’s a little on the lighter side which is nice too. Continue reading
Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Soup

My Hubby and I love Beets and Goat cheese. I make them many different ways. Today because I just finished roasting all the beets that we harvested, I decided to make a chilled beet soup. It is not only beautiful in color, but refreshing too. Continue reading
Crispy Salmon Cakes With Dill Butter

My hubby makes the best salmon ever and when he makes it, it’s always a great big piece. Well I love that because the next day I make my Crispy Salmon Cakes With Dill Butter. Easy and full of flavor. The added dill butter really makes this dish a winner. Continue reading
Beef Stroganoff With Goat Cheese & Homemade Noodles
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
Cabbage & Onion Au Gratin

I really love cabbage. I sauté it, eat it raw, put it in tomato sauce and even bake it with lots of cheese. This is a great dish for Easter because it’s easy and delicious, plus it can be prepared in advance and popped in the oven 25 minutes before serving.

Deconstructed Beef Wellington With Chanterelle Mushrooms

My Hubby and I love to eat Filet Mignon and Beef Wellington is just a fantastic way to enjoy it. I deconstruct it sometimes so I can make smaller portions of this rich, delicious dish. My Hubby calls it a perfect 10 and I have to say I agree. The Chanterelle mushrooms are in season and oh, so good. They really take this dish over the top! Continue reading
