Food, Travel, and Cooking!
I came across this recipe last year and have made it a few times since. So far, everyone who has eaten it has given it two thumbs up! And as Swiss chard is available for most of the year I think a good recipe to keep handy! For the Filling: 1 Tbsp. EVO 1 onion, […]
When it’s eggplant season…they are so gorgeous, well you just have to cook something with them…so there’s Timballo, Parmigiana, Pasta alla Norma (delish), or even cubed up, sautéed and tossed on to a pizza…and that’s only my Italian favs. Middle Eastern eggplant preparations ring all my bells too! Makes About 6 Servings I find that […]
Even though the ideal, or at least my ideal, is to barbecue all summer, I suppose it’s OK to have other options! There’s no pasta in this “lasagne.” It’s really good! Of course this is best made with in season zucchini, especially if you can find the Italian ridged ones! The lasagne could be served with […]
My husband makes these sensational ribs and we can hardly wait to have them each summer! The barbecue sauce can be made up to a week ahead; the addition of coffee lends a rich level of flavor. I usually make the rub ahead and store in a jar with a tight lid. It makes a great Christmas stocking […]
These days at #5 we seem to be eating cherry tomatoes 24/7. I’ve been wanting to make these tarts all summer and finally did! And are we glad I did…they were so good! Whipped up a green salad…dinner! You can easily double the recipe to make 8 servings. The best time to make this is […]
Who doesn’t love a good lasagne? The Turkey Bolognese Sauce is rich, aromatic and delicious! 1 batch Turkey Bolognese Sauce** 1 (15 oz.) container whole-milk ricotta cheese 3 cups (packed) coarsely grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese 1 ¼ cups freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, divided 16-20 sheets no-boil lasagne noodles (approx. 7×3”), Barilla’s are pretty good Fresh […]
You just can’t help but love the colours of bell peppers! So cheery! I call for ground veal but I don’t see why ground turkey, ground pork or ground beef would not be just as delicious. A nice big spoonful of tomato sauce with herbs is just the ticket! Makes 4 Peppers 2 each orange […]
This is my adaptation of the famous salad. I absolutely adore Cobb Salad. From the tang of the blue cheese to the creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, salty bacon, delicious! Serve with homemade biscuits** or purchased rolls. Thinking of starting a “Cobb Salad Club” for everyone I know who loves this salad as much as […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. I stumbled upon this recipe by Jennifer Danter in the February 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. […]
Do you, like us, end up buying a box of Panko crumbs from Costco that seems like a lifetime supply? Then…you will totally get our obsession to use them! We were in the mood for some Chinese Shiitake fried rice last night and really craving some fish to go with it. We picked up some B.C. Rockfish […]
