Fall Favorites

Grapefruit, Ginger and Honey Flank Steak

April 28, 2011

I love flank steak. There I’ve said it. Again. Maybe for some it wouldn’t seem a match for that magnificent rib eye I recently had but I just love how the ‘need’ to marinate it also means that the flavor can be so manipulated (in a good way) by the cook depending on your tastes. [...]

Tagliata (Cut) Ribeye with Olive Oil, Garlic and Parsley

April 14, 2011

This past year has had it’s share of ‘moments that suck’ I won’t deny. I realize I never set foot in my garden all last year so am excited about how far I’ve come. There will be gardening this year and…hey, the cane makes it easier to corral my dog! Luckily there have also been [...]

Charcutepalooza – Home Cured Corned Beef on a Reuben Sandwich

April 4, 2011

I’ve followed Charcutepalooza since it’s inception. As a matter of fact my company, Kinetic Webs, is a sponsor, assisting Cathy (MrsWheelbarrow.com) and Kim (The Yummy Mummy) with all things web related. As a sponsor I can’t participate in the quest for prizes but thought I might try the occasional challenge. What is Charcutepalooza you say? [...]

Golden Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions

March 31, 2011

I love KerryGold Butter. The difference in flavor is remarkable compared to the standard brand and I love to use it for special recipes. However, my first love from the Kerrygold brand is their Dubliner Cheese. Dubliner is a sweet mature cheese (aged over twelve months) manufactured by Carbery and marketed internationally under the Kerrygold [...]

Easy Cinnamon Buns…Really!

March 22, 2011

My friend Ken at Hungry Rabbit just posted this recipe a couple of days ago. One of those mornings when I was struggling with a breakfast decision. Should it be toast or Cheerios; yogurt or an English muffin. Ken…why must you tease me like that?? But the truth is, I had in mind making a [...]

Sweet Potato and Onion Casserole meets Front Range Foodies!

March 13, 2011

I don’t like to bemoan the past year over and over; I’m bored with the injury I suffered in February of 2010 and can’t imagine anyone wants to hear about what I lovingly call my ‘stupid’ leg. But it has been a difficult year. I broke a bone in my left leg in February and [...]

German Pancake (Dutch Baby

March 7, 2011

First, let me thank Rachael, @fujimama, for asking me to do this post during Pancake Week for her readers on Babble. Until this past week I had no idea there was an entire week devoted to pancake love but I’ve got the love so am more than willing to celebrate! I’ve known Rachael for almost [...]

Chicken Scallopini with Mushrooms

March 2, 2011

True confession. I love chicken. I don’t eat chicken because it’s less expensive than other meats, I eat it because I love how easy it is to prepare and even more how versatile it is. And this is one of my absolute favorite dishes. The finished result is beyond the ease of preparation. OK…so another [...]

Pasta with Chicken, Grilled Onions and Sun Dried Tomatoes

February 19, 2011

I was reminded yesterday of how often I make something for a meal with inspiration from, not a chef, not a book, not a TV show…no, from my fridge. And how often that inspiration comes so easily because I’m looking for something simple and quick that I can add to pasta. Many years ago I [...]

Red Pepper, Poblano, Jalapeno, Honey and Lime Sauce

February 9, 2011

I was reminded when I was making this red and green pepper sauce for pork last week what a leap of faith it was the first time I made it. I admit it…I have a huge, big, very bad aversion to green bell peppers. Just cringed even typing that sentence (I’m not kidding!). Although I [...]
