Thanks to the cooks at I Heart Cooking Clubs I have been introduced to some new recipes. Now I have to find the time to make them all. I was inspired to make this pasta dish from Kim at Stirring the Pot. I made a few changes to the recipe to ingredients that I had…

Green Beans Gremolata
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate. I made these green beans germolata for my Thanksgiving table. We were in a rush to sit down for dinner so food styling did not happen for this dish. This is a pretty straight forward recipe. Blanch the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Plunge into…
Salmon with Lentils
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we were challenged to make a dish Jeffery, Ina’s husband, would love. I don’t think I have seen a dish that Jeffery didn’t like so the choices were endless. My riff on this challenge was making my husband’s favorite dish, salmon with lentils. I have had varying success…
Apple Clfouti
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking from this month’s featured ingredient; apples or pears. The recipe from Barefoot in Paris by Ina Garten is made with pears but I made mine with apples. A clafouti is a new French dessert for me. Ina describes it as a pancake-like batter poured over…
Cranberry Orange Scones
Scones are a popular breakfast item in my house. These Cranberry Orange Scones from Ina Garten are a great way to usher in the flavors of Autumn, the theme of the week at I Heart Cooking Clubs. I made these on a Friday then popped them in the freezer before baking so I could bake fresh…
Stuffed Eggplant with Lamb and Pine Nuts
It is potluck week at I Heart Cooking Clubs and I chose to cook from Yotam Ottolenghi. From Jerusalem A Cookbook I made Stuffed Eggplant with Lamb and Pine Nuts. Not a photogenic meal and I was worried that the eggplant would not survive the move. We served this Turkish style meal with Basmati rice. This…
Croque Monsieur
Croque Monsieur! How easy is that? This week on I Heart Cooking Clubs we were tasked with making something easy from Ina Garten’s recipes. I chose Croque Monsieur because how easy is a grilled cheese sandwich? My husband could not believe I have never had the famed French sandwich. The recipe starts with a white…
Caramelized Shallots
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are cooking with alliums. What are alliums? They are garlic, onions, shallots, leeks, scallions or chives. I love caramelized onions so I figured I would like these caramelized shallots. I used Ina’s handy hint to boil the shallots for one minute to peel them. The peeled shallots…
Haricots Verts
I am thrilled to be back with I Heart Cooking Clubs for their latest chef Ina Garten. I was given a copy of Barefoot In Paris and now I have a chance to cook from it. I chose to start with a vegetable dish, haricots verts or French string beans. I had two of the…
Cod Cakes in Tomato Sauce
So far I have not made a recipe out of Jerusalem A Cookbook that I did not like and these Cod Cakes in Tomato Sauce are no exception. As with many of the recipes in this book it is a labor of love. My husband said it was too much work but I thought the…
