Our second to the last post for Everyday Dorie is this bourbon-roasted pork loin. We made this for guests and it was a big hit. Roasting everything in one pot is a simple and easy way to cook a dinner. We decided to make extra onions and apples, enough to feed 4 and that was…

Braised Lamb Shanks with Tomatoes and Olives
I have been on the hunt for lamb shanks for quite some time but have not been unable to find any. I was going to make the chicken substitution that some of our group made but after the glowing reviews of Mardi and Shirley’s lamb shanks, I was determined to find some. I managed to…
Seafood Pasta
When I think of seafood I don’t think of a red sauce. I did not think these two went together which is why I have been avoiding this recipe but boy was I wrong. We had this meal for Christmas Eve dinner and it was a hit with everyone. I took Kim’s advice and used…
Savory Bread Pudding
It is very important to read the directions thoroughly for this recipe as there are many steps. The onions need caramelization which took almost an hour for my batch. The bread needs to be dried in the oven, and the mixture needs to set for an hour before it goes into the oven. Planning ahead…
Herb-Butter Chicken
After a two week vacation apparently I have forgotten how to blog. My husband had cut up the whole chicken before we remembered to take a picture. Actually I had made three of the four recipes for this month in one meal which I think was one too many for my brain. On to the…
Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars
While making these bars, I was reminded of my favorite restaurant in San Jose, CA. I used to have to fly to San Jose once a month for work and I would always go to Jubba Restaurant East Africa Cuisine, they had the best spiced tea and fish wraps. If you are ever in the…
Tilapia Meunière with Onion-Pecan Relish
My husband is quite particular about the fish he likes so I let him take the lead on this one and he chose Tilapia. Traditional fish for this recipe is Flounder or Sole. I made the relish and my husband cooked the fish. We rounded out our meal with carrots and rice. Everyone liked this…
Brown Sugar-Spice Cake
Greetings from Redding California. I am here on vacation with a friend who recently moved and I decided to take my Tuesday with Dorie baking assignment with me. What better way to welcome someone to their new home than baking a cake. I was unable to find Italian Plums and I am not a fan…
Tomato and Berry Gazpacho
I had purchased all the ingredients but I was having trouble fitting this one in my schedule. I came home for work and my husband had thankfully made it. I purchased a mix of cherry tomatoes which included some gold ones so that is why my gazpacho was an orange color. My husband chopped up…
Blueberry Pie
The tale of two pies. I made this mixed berry pie when we were all doing our own recipes during the pandemic. It was a soupy mess and I did not want to repeat it. This summer I purchased a Costco mixed berry pie for research purposes 🙂 to compare the two. Costco had the…
