This spicy asian flank steak is SO good. I do not think I need to sell this recipe any more than that because I know that once you try it, you’ll make it all the time. It is that good. The secret is cutting the finished product correctly: you can see from the photo that […]
I am so excited because I just perfected the ratatouille sandwich from Toronto! As promised, here’s the recipe. This recipe is great because it is so multi-purpose. I made the ratatouille last night to have as a side with the most amazing ribs, which left most of ratatouille for these sandwiches the next day. Choose […]
We also picked up fresh beets at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Todd was not convinced when I suggested that we buy some – but he admitted that he has only had pickled beets. Now that he tried this salad, he loves beets, and I think you will, too. They are deliciously sweet, and have […]
Tabbouleh/Tabouli is a Middle Eastern dish, typically made from wheat bulgar. There are a multitude of variations that are dependent upon the region, such as the Turkish version,kisir. Tabouli is a fantastic dish in the summer – it’s cold temperature and light flavors won’t put you to sleep after eating. Perhaps most persuasive is that there is […]
I appreciate that, given my infrequent posting, some may be tiring of the fact that nearly everything I post involves pesto. BUT I have found a new use . . . or a combination of other recipes. It is summer after all.* So, what do you get when you cross a pizza withPesto Pea Salad? Yummy, […]
The more I talk to people I learn that, while most know what pesto is, they have no clue how to make it. When I try to explain that it’s easy, they think I am nuts. Honestly, if you have a food processor, this is a snap – PLUS, you will impress everyone and you […]
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 […]
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 […]
Please don’t be scared off by what I am about to tell you. Monday night I was bored and I wanted to make something I had never done before. I spent at least half an hour going through my cupboards/fridge in a sorry attempt to create something new. I began to digress and wash the […]
Late Saturday afternoon Todd had so much studying to do and no quiet place to do it. (Todd has a roommate, I only have one room, and Todd’s parents have a house on Lake Michigan just north of Manitowoc that was empty.) So I drove up there, it is just under an hour from downtown, […]
