When your husband asks you what are we having for dinner and you don't have a clue, here is a menu that should do the trick! I keep the ingredients on hand for those nights when cooking seems more a chore that a joy. And with summer coming I have been thinking about the party food/drink ...
We've been craving really good clam chowder since getting back from Block Island last month so the only solution was to make our own. My weekly HEB adventure was rather disappointing in the seafood department this morning. Oh, they had clams alright but their chowder clams were 5 bucks a piece ...
Another pasta scallop recipe for you guys. It's fast, simple and delicious; plus, wild dry scallops were on sale so how could I say no? Make sure you get your scallops nice and dry before you season, it'll help with the searing process. Also, scallops are often sold with the muscle still ...
Nothing too complicated or strenuous, just plain scrambled eggs with red pepper flakes and fresh thyme. Oh and a little parmesan shaved over the top right before serving. This with the bagel was our pre-ride breakfast before hitting the mountain bike trails and it really kept us going. So eat ...
This is a "clean out the freezer STAT" dish and as such, I wasn't really looking forward to making it. As in I was almost halfway hoping it would be so inedible we'd have to order sushi or pizza to make up for it...I know, I'm a bad food blogger! But sometimes I just really don't want to cook, ...
In reviewing our posts on 'for the love of garlic', I noticed that there were not a lot of desserts. Perhaps it is because being busy and watching calories, desserts have become something of the past? (yeah, right!!) The one time we all give ourselves permission to indulge freely is on our ...
Recently, while we were in New York visiting, we chanced into a totally authentic Cuban cafe complete with the local politicos and all the cast of characters you would expect if you were in Havana. It was a rainy afternoon, and the cozy cafe had a long wall of tables across from a lunch ...
Nothing like a little take out sushi and sake to celebrate Memorial Day...perhaps not as traditional as BBQ or picnic fare but oh so good. Hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing end to the holiday weekend!
This is probably my all time favorite salad - I remember having it three years ago in NYC where it was appearing on pretty much every restaurant menu. Since then it has certainly broadened it's reach, I've even seen it on Texas menus ::gasp!:: but making it at home is the best. That way you can ...
The Denver portion of FTLOG has inspired me to get a little fancy with a few of our meals and this is one of the results. It was a power packed meal with strong flavors, many of which are typical "don't like" tastes for people, such as arugula, fennel and horseradish (that last one was in the ...
