Adventures in Tenderizing Steak: Part 1
My husband loves a good steak. I think if he had his way, we’d be eating steak every single night. In fact, we did eat steak every night for a bit early on in our courtship. But, let’s face it, good steaks are a little pricey to have often. And when you have kids to [...]
Barbecue Beef and Potato Stew
It’s funny how things change as you get older . . . As a child and a teen, I used to jump with joy at the prospect of snow. There was so much fun from the falling flakes – snow days, sledding, snowball fights … But when I got up this morning and saw my [...]
Spectacular Ginger Soy London Broil
On New Years Eve, we had a fun visit from an old and dear friend of mine, and her family. Then we ate Chinese food (Shawn’s tradition) and rang in the New Year watching The Next Food Network Star (I think I want to be the next star!). On New Years Day, Shawn had to [...]
Sign of the times? Italian Panko Steak
Maybe it’s a sign of the times or something. When I was grocery shopping recently, I picked up a box of Panko crumbs and bought them. Only later did I realize that they were in fact Italian panko. Italian panko?!? They lacked the light texture of regular Japanese panko and were considerably larger, thicker, etc. [...]
French Dip Panini
So yesterday was the first time I ever tried a Rachael Ray recipe. I know, she’s been huge for several years now, but I managed to remain under the radar … or something. Anyway, this French Dip Panini was amazing. I made a few changes: I added salt and pepper to the sauce, caught out [...]
French Dip Panini and Caprese Salad
Dinner tonight was a pretty quick combination of recipes. First, I threw together Rachael Ray’s French Dip Panini (with a few minor modifications). Then I whipped up a two-minute caprese salad (which coincidentally is a perfect inclusion for Sweetnicks’ ARF/5-A-Day Tuesday). Honestly, I dare say this is the first Rachael Ray recipe I have ever [...]
Hot and Crusty: What more could you ask for?
I love my Le Creuset grill (actually, it’s a griddle…I know, but they essentially perform the same function, right?). So far, it’s griddled asparagus for me (which I ate all of … alone) and made a TON of sandwiches. Loving the sandwiches (with the grill press, of course). This is one of my favorites so [...]
ARF: Blue Filet Bites
Hor d’ourves . . . did I mention my hor d’ourves on Thanksgiving? Only about a dozen times probably. That’s only because I thoroughly enjoyed them and so did my guests. And a food enjoyed is always a good thing. These Blue Filet Bites hor d’ourve was born after much testing and sampling. I tried [...]
Baby Bok Choy and Beef
So. I picked up this leafy vegetable at the farmers market a few weeks back, brought it home, sauteed it and loved it. But I wasn’t quite sure what it was. Fast forward to last weekend at Shop Rite. I was gazing at the vegetables, taking in all the fresh greens, reds, yellows and oranges. [...]
Mozzarella-Basil Beef Roll-Up Recipe
I revisited an old style of cooking for me last night, putting a new spin on it. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile then you may remember my beef roll-ups. I make them in a wide variety with all sorts of contents. Last night, I decided that fresh mozzarella and basil were the [...]
