Here’s my adaptation of the famous salad. I absolutely adore Cobb Salad. From the tangy blue cheese to the creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, salty bacon, delicious! Serve with homemade biscuits (see below) or purchased rolls. I’ve been thinking of starting a “Cobb Salad Club” for everyone I know who loves this salad as much […]
You’d hardly know it’s zucchini season if you looked in our kitchen! Joking! I have to admit there’s a whole lot of things being made using zucchini these days! And this moist, spicy, quick to make cake is one of them. It’s great with not only coffee but we’ve had it for breakfast too! It […]
I love cornbread and I’ve a whole lot of zucchini in the garden, so when I came across this recipe in Bon Appetit, it was right up my alley. I hope it’s something that you will enjoy as much as we do. We like it for breakfast too, lightly toasted served alongside an egg and […]
Our blueberries are in season! You tell me…who doesn’t love blueberries…who doesn’t love a barbecue? This slightly spicy, slightly sweet barbecue sauce it’s delicious basted on ribs, pork chops or tenderloin, burgers, and chicken while they are cooking! Might work on salmon too! It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or […]
I stumbled upon this recipe by Jennifer Danter in an issue EAT MAGAZINE and thought “we like meatballs a lot and we like Indian food a whole lot”…sounds good to me. It calls for serving the meatballs with polenta…in my mind, not a great combination. I served it with basmati rice but I think it […]
An excellent pasta dish dressed with an asparagus sauce from Julia Della Croce’s cookbook, Umbria. I made it this last spring, it was excellent. It’s worth tracking down really fresh, locally grown asparagus. We get ours from our farmer’s market and I highly recommend doing so. The results of using the freshest you can find […]
If you only knew how many recipes I have for coleslaw! It’s seems like there’s at least one from every country in the world! This one is great with any Asian inspired meal and would go well with ribs, chicken or pork chops and I think would be a great addition to a barbecue. Just […]
A recipe from the Hawksmoor At Home cookbook that’s become an absolute must when red cabbages begin showing up at our farmer’s market. The recipe is a definite two thumbs up from us! The restaurant “Hawksmoor” is a London Steakhouse just around the corner from the Guildhall. The next time we are in London, we […]
Sure it’s not quite spring but I was doing freezer inventory and found a few things that should be used up. Now that the tarragon and chives have appeared in the garden. a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. I used chicken thighs because I had them but use whatever chicken pieces […]
When I was trying to come up with something to bake for the “big day,” what came to mind was how much we love chocolates with hazelnut filling, enrobed in dark chocolate (in moderation of course!) And how raspberries and chocolate are so amazing together. For goodness sake keep the trimmings after cutting out the […]
