Sometimes things go as planned, and sometimes they don’t. For example, the weather on Sunday was beautiful – mid-50s and sunny. That didn’t stop me from sticking to my plan: staying inside cooking and reading all weekend. I decided to make this dish for a few reasons – it sounded delicious, and we bought a […]
Since the weather here in Milwaukee is terrible – we’re talking 44 degrees, wind, and rain – I intend to stay inside all weekend cooking and reading; I hope to have a new batch of recipes ready for posting. We’re not that far into fall, and I have already exhausted my favorites, including Roasted Squash […]
(Haiga Sophia, Istanbul) The best vacation ever was also the best honeymoon ever, which was preceded by the best wedding ever. (I may be biased.) Part of the best honeymoon ever was the cooking class during our stay in Istanbul, Turkey. The first thing people do is crinkle their face, and say, “Istanbul? What made […]
I rarely find a recipe that I don’t tweak or change. I also don’t make many dishes with only a few ingredients and/or spices, but this is one of them. It’s perfect. This salad is such a great sumer dinner. Not only does it have great flavor and texture, it takes 5 minutes to throw […]
Ok – this sounds so good! I am going to try it this week. I think with a salad, and a nice sauvignon blanc with fresh peaches sliced into the wine… I am in love with the Geyser Peak Sauvignon right now; its a good price and easy to find. Also, since aged balsamic isn’t in […]
This sounds so delicious to celebrate the rest of summer. Mango-Peach Sangria Recipe – John Besh | Food & Wine Shared via AddThis
So, not only do I have a problem with using the oven, I avoid it. I mean, really. What is the point of baking a pasta dish that is perfectly good without the extra step. Case in point, Penne with Corn, Zucchini and Basil. Sounds delicious. It does not, however, sound like I need to […]
I’m not sure what to call these delicious nuggets of potato heaven, but they are so good I’m not sure they need a name. Any reference to “those potatoes you made that one time,” will automatically populate this recipe in my brain. It’s simple, really. Boil whole, unpeeled, fingerling potatoes in liberally salted water* until […]
I have to introduce my debut newspaper article by admitting that I cannot pronounce the name of this dish, Paupiettes du Boeuf. However, I take solace in the fact that Nancy Stohs, the food editor for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, cannot either. You can find my article, as well as more pictures of the process and fellow […]
This dish is so sinful, no one will believe that it’s not bad for you. I adapted this from a health food cookbook! It is really good served with some sauteed asparagus. Ingredients: 1½ lbs. Chicken breasts (3) 2 c. Buttermilk (use more if necessary to cover) 3 slices Prosciutto 3 slices Smoked Gouda cheese […]
