We are omnivores so all protein is fair game but out of all the meat I would say we eat beef the least so this week’s recipe was a nice treat. I can’t remember the last time we had steak, restaurant or home. My husband splurged the big bucks for this one steak, $19 for…

Cowboy Caviar Salad or Side
I am still struggling to post in a timely manor. I do manage to cook and remember to take a picture, two out of three ain’t bad. This was a nice summer side dish that we served on Labor Day Weekend. To see what others thought head over to Cook the Book Fridays.
Oven-Charred Tomato-Stuffed Peppers
Beautiful summer side dish. I found these pretty orange peppers and picked out the “boxy” ones Dorie suggested. Since these peppers were on the large size I could not fit them into a pie plate so I used a 9×11 pan instead. This recipe was a fair amount of work for a side dish but…
Drop-Biscuit Peach Cobbler
Stone fruit is in full swing this time of year. I chose to be a purist and make mine peaches only, Dorie’s recipe includes optional blueberries. The drop biscuits were meant to have spaces between but mine fused into one giant biscuit. I thought this was a lovely fruit dessert. My husband did not like…
Citrus-Marinated Salmon with Mango Salsa
This recipe includes the bounty of summer produce; tomatoes, mango, bell peppers and citrus. This is a two part recipe with a marinade and salsa. The marinade comprises of lemon and orange (zest and juice), olive oil, scallions, cilantro (stems and leaves), jalapeño, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper. The fish, whatever type you choose, marinates…
Luang Prabang Chicken-Chili Sandwiches
These were the perfect sandwiches for when you do not want to cook. We picked up a roasted chicken ala Costco for ease of preparation. I had to substitute Thai sweet chili sauce for a jar of regular chili sauce I had. I was also uber lazy and bought a bag for shredded lettuce. This…
Tomato Tart with Mustard and Ricotta
I went rouge this week. I wanted to serve this dish for Mother’s Day so I swapped out the two recipes. This dish did not come out at all like the picture. I think the photo is before the eggs go in. Any who, we really loved this one. The crust is fantastic, like all…
Spring Avocado and Berry Salad
Spring is in the air and fresh produce in season is multiplying by the day. This bountiful salad of red grapefruit, strawberries and avocados was a welcome change to our menu. The salad is seasoned with a dressing of grapefruit juice, lime juice, olive oil and salt and pepper. Now about the missing ingredients. I…
Western Frittata
This western frittata includes onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, chile powder, tomato, eggs of course and topped with cheese. The recipe called for a Texas spring onion but I just used what onion I had on hand. My grocers were out of thyme and I forgot to make the pretty slices of red bell pepper for…
Mediterranean Shepherd’s Pie
I made this dish about a week ago. I manage to cook on time but writing a blog seems to be difficult these days. The adults in my family loved this dish, my son declared it was the worst dish I have ever made. LOL I guess the flavors were too exotic for him. I…
