I’m crazy for pesto. I put it on everything! One of my favorite things to do is to marinate chicken in it then put it on the grill. The Parmesan cheese kinda gets a little crunchy on the outside and the garlicky basil flavor has it all going on! Yum. This week I decided to
Spicy Coffee Dry Rub
Oh, you should see Denver right about now! It’s so hazy that it looks like a wicked hot and humid day in the South but it’s really all the smoke rolling in from a wildfire in Canada of all places! It’s so bad that I can’t even see across the street, I closed my windows
Ginger Beer Ribs
Just in time for the Forth of July. My grill died, again! I say this because I have had four grills in ten years. It was getting to the point of stupid and me being cheap. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy what I really wanted. A smoker and a grill,
Portobello Mushroom & Chicken Enchiladas
It’s a well know fact that I love Mexican food. Mainly I feed my taco addiction but once in awhile I need something a little different and in this case I needed to feed a few others as well, so portobello mushroom & chicken enchiladas was made. This is my favorite way to eat enchiladas
Spicy Pickled Pineapple with Shrimp
Who would have thunk? Another busy week on the homestead! It is springtime in Colorado and even though our state has hit with devastating storms on the Eastern plains and massive hail storms in the city, wicked thunderstorms every afternoon we still manage to get outside and grab as much vitamin D as possible. Well,
Herb Rubbed Cornish Game Hens
Well it’s been kinda a crazy past ten days and it was hard to get Sunday’s post out so here it is! Better late than never. Besides suffering from a horrible case of Spring fever, I had a really sick dog (Handsome Hans) over the past week. It just breaks my heart when dogs are
New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp
I know I have been saying this all winter. Damn, it’s been warm here and we hardly had any snow! Now, I’m sitting here at my desk, freezing cold because it’s 39 degrees outside and “WOW” we have 90% humidity and yes, maybe just yes we are going to get some snow today. I sure
Thai Red Curry with Beef
Windows are open, birds outside chirping away, I’m running around outside in a tennis skirt with no leggings. Feels like spring here in Colorado. Seventy degree days and then it snows, sixty degrees, then it snows. It’s been odd and we sure are getting teased. It’s all good and it’s good because the mountains are
Italian Meat Sauce-Sunday Gravy
Sunday gravy. That’s all I really need to say… OK, OK not really but when I think of Italian food, it is pretty much summed up in this sauce. My first true experience with “gravy” was in a tiny hamlet called Perrero in Val de Chisone in the northern mountains of Italy staying at my
Creole Braised Short Ribs
Some good things happened on Sunday. Played tennis in the morning, took the dogs for a little hike at Chief Hosa, hung out with some awesome people up in Genessee, drank a glass or two of wine, ate some really great food including these Creole braised short rib sandwiches… And then the Bronco’s game came
