Well now that we have gotten through the last holiday of the summer, we can now focus on more important things that happen in late summer and fall, like football and Hatch green chilies! It’s my favorite time of year and something that I look forward to, especially the chilies. (I’m a little nervous on
Peachy Keen Cocktail
A few weeks back, I posted a recipe for homemade Fresh Peach Nectar. Having all that delightful juice on hand inspired me to make a cocktail with it. Boy did it! The peach nectar is a perfect base for light and refreshing Peachy Keen Cocktail! I added the fresh flavors of peach schnapps, blueberry vodka along with regular
Savory Balsamic Blueberry Sauce
Truth be known, one of my favorite thing to eat are berries. All kinds of berries. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and the lovely blueberries. Blueberries, however, are my favorite. They are packed with all kinds of nutrients with minimal calories, they provide all kinds of health benefits which qualifies them as a superfood. I eat blueberries a few
Asian Chicken Shiitake Mushroom Burgers
So this weeks craving is courteous of my tennis partner. She mentioned a couple weeks ago that she was craving Asian food and only likes “chicken” burgers and not “turkey” burgers! She also mentioned that she would like shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts in the burger as well. Well, Marcy, you got your wish. Big and juicy Asian
Sticky Chinese Barbecue Ribs
This past week, I was looking at my calendar and realized that next weekend is Memorial Day. I’m not sure how this is possible as I thought that it was just Easter. Ugh, no wonder my hair is turning grey. It’s not from turning older, it’s from time going so fast. I’ll blame “time” on
Italian Easter Pie
So while I was thinking of what to make for Easter this year, I decided to do a little research and see what people in other countries make for the holiday dinner. Well, I hate to say this but here in the good Ol’ USA, we are boring. A baked Ham is so yesterday especially when
Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Étouffée
Well, here we go again. Another year that seems to fly by! I can’t believe that Fat Tuesday is upon us already! If you have followed me for awhile, you know that I love some good Cajun/Creole food. I must have been a Cajun lady in a past life. I have made Jambalaya, gumbo and
Tinga Chicken Cheese Fries
Today is a very special day in Colorado. Instead of waking up to birds chirping and another warm sunny day, I woke up to the sound of a plow truck cleaning the streets of snow! I realize that most of the country has had more than their fair share of snow this year but we
Garlic Sticky Wings
It’s that time of year when we start playing around with our new kitchen gadgets that we got for Christmas! This year’s toy, an Anova Sous Vide. I was pretty excited to receive this as a gift as I always wondered if it was worth the hype. This week I decided to put it to
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
Well, it’s official. We can legitimately start thinking about making cookies and candy for the holiday season. Heck, I have been in the candy-making mode for two weeks now. I don’t know (I have lost track) how many batches I have done but at least 12 batches of caramel and 8 or so of chocolate
