Tabbouleh (Cracked Wheat Salad)
I adore this fresh, bright, earthy salad! It is very light but yet adequately filling as a meal itself. I often eat it for lunch with the addition of some good tuna, a warm piece of pita if I have it & a sparkling water! At dinner I would make kebabs & rice or maybe…
O.M.G. Beef Short Ribs with Root Mash ‘n Gravy
NOT even playing with the “OMG” part of this recipe. I mean once & a while friends we have to eat something that makes us feel indulgent & even a bit guilty BUT OH SO SATISFYING that we don’t care! That said, this IS that good … but it’s not that bad! Capisce?? (Said…
Cast-Iron Ratatouille
The history of ratatouille has it’s origins in France (in Provence & Nice) & was peasant food due to the availability of vegetables out of the garden. It means “stirred up” or “mixed up” essentially. Traditionally it was often more stew-like & is still very practical & affordable to make. The way we arrange the…
Creamy Mushroom Soup
There is fungus a-mung-us for sure today! I LOVE Mushrooms. I think they are an ingredient that people are passionate about, either way… you know you either love or hate them (Like cilantro, right?) I have recently been dehydrating “stuff” with my new air fryer (it has a dehydrate function) & mushroom were one of…
Chile Verde Chicken Street Tacos (Instant Pot)
So, I really don’t have a lot of extra to say about tacos today — I mean TACOS ARE LOVE, right?? I just want to share a great recipe that I through together recently. We love Mexican food of all kinds. G.R. tends to go a little more TexMex & I tend more towards authentic…
Queso Fundido
This is OMG good! If you do Taco Tuesday like we do (as many times a month as there are Tuesdays) then I suggest that you start with Queso Fundido next time! I love creamy, velvety smooth Queso (the Rotel & Velveeta type) as much as the next guy and my White Green Chiles &…
Chocolate Pot de Creme
When I think of a rich, chocolate, guilty treat —> this is it! and it’s very French… ooh la la ! Make your sweetheart (or friends) “Pot de Creme au Chocolat” for any special occasion & they will think you are magic! I have defaulted to this many times & people always rave. I think…

Pass the Chimichurri, PLEASE!!
This is one of my top 3 favorite sauces … at least all purpose & most versatile sauces! I can’t stress enough that if you haven’t tried chimichurri, you MUST! And even if you have, make this one because there are as many recipe variations for it as there are people who make it so…
Tuscan Baby Lima Bean Soup
I love beans & I love soup. One dish that marries the two is rich & creamy ham ‘n beans; it has always been a comfort food for me. When I make old-fashioned ham ‘n beans I always use the big ham bone usually left after the holiday ham. I often freeze it to use…
Soy-Lime Grilled Flank Steak
I LOVE grilled steak. Generally speaking we will pick a rib eye (bone-in if they have it) for traditional steak dinner. That said, I choose flank (or skirt) just as often because it is so diverse & flavorful! This one recipe marinates only about 1-4 hours. You could marinate it over night, but I would…
Classic Wedge Salad
Do you ever stop to think why ‘the classics’ are classic? I did just that while eating a salad the other day. Whether it’s clothing, music or food, the word ‘classic’ can usually be exchanged for timeless. There are some things that just stand the test of time – like the quintessential little black dress…
