These were two ginormous chicken breasts! ... - CELEBRATION This week is a celebratory week. First, it is my DH's birthday around the corner.

I have to say, it ...

Update: Nancy over at Real Food, Allergy Free is hosting an Allergy Free Wed. Party and asked for my recipe for Duck Breasts In a Pomegranate Rosemary Sauce recipe - which is Dairy Free and Gluten Free. What a great idea - to help spread recipes, knowledge and sharing through food. Gluten Free recipes from ...
- SAGE CHICKEN IN A TOMATO RED WINE SAUCE Here is yet another chicken recipe - there are still more to come! This was a tasty dish, where I used my frozen collard greens from last years garden. Tasty and flavorful, however, if you don't have frozen collard greens, spinach or kale would work nicely in this dish as well. This recipe was made ...
- HELL'S PEPPER FARM TEX MEX CHILI BEEF RICE
Remember those Anaheim Peppers I used a while back? Well this is a post, dedicated to those Anaheim Peppers:

- CHEF LYNN'S “PITCHIN' IN” COOK BOOK AND A RECIPE INSPIRATION Have you seen Chef Lynn's Show "Pitchin' In" ? If you have not - it is a must see. The premise behind the show is that Chef Lynn travels the States and Canada, seeking out local farmers of all kinds, fishermen, shell fish harvesters, cattle ranchers, Poultry farmers - you name it - with the ...
- SOUTH WESTERN CHICKEN STEW Yes, I know, another chicken dish. I seem to have once again accumulated a number of chicken recipes - so you may see some extra chicken dishes to come. I guess, because chicken lends itself incredibly well to so many different seasonings and spices.
Should this have been called a Mexican Chicken Stew or a South ...
- CHICKEN IN A POMEGRANATE CITRUS GLAZE Well, I can not use a swear word here...so instead: Holy Mother, Holy Mary, Merciful Heavens! I am not even religious at that. Please excuse my over zealous exclamations but, Dang! This was so delicious! I am going to double the recipe and make this with a Roasted Whole Chicken next weekend when we have ...
- CHICKEN FLORENTINE Well, we are still in hibernation mode with all of the snowy weather. It is supposed to rain during the end of this week - (now) and then turn to a more milder temperature. At this moment, we are still in a frozen Tundra. I am thinking it is time to complain to the weather ...
- ROSEMARY LEMON INFUSED PORK LOIN ROAST We dove into this dinner so fast, I forgot to take a picture of the whole roast, let alone it being plated, Dang! So this is it....and it was mighty tasty. When it comes to course salt, I think my favorite salts are Fleur de Sel and Himalayan - absolutely lovely. Also, the herbs get ...
- GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN CHOW MIEN Every once in a long while, I miss good Chinese Food. Chicken chow mien used to be my favorite. Then deep fried almond chicken...working on that recipe, hopefully pending.
Although there are no chow mien noodles in this dish, they really were not missed at all. What I most liked about this dish, aside from flavor, ...
- ITALIAN MEATLOAF AND A NEW YEARS DINNER MENU Okay, you are probably wondering....Meatloaf for a New Years Dinner? In this house we love our meatloaf! Plus I can't help myself, I love trying out new meatloaf recipes. This came together as a result of having all the fresh herbs in the fridge, plus it also offers variety to everyday meatloaf. We are ...
- TURKEY TETRAZZINI This may well become a Christmas Turkey Leftover Tradition each year in this house....wow, so good!
There are many wonderful Tetrazzini recipes out there. After looking at different recipes, I took a few ideas from here and there, then added in my own ideas too. If you have 2-3 cups of leftover Turkey, 1 cup of ...
- SAFFRON SMOKED PAPRIKA CHICKEN Dang...this chicken was unbelievably flavorful and super tender. Plus, this was such an easy dish to make too!
I wish I had remembered to weigh the chicken breasts - they were quite large. The larger one was devoured by my DH. I could barely finish the smaller one, it was that big. We had this chicken ...
- PORK CHOPS IN A WILD MUSHROOM RED WINE SAUCE Have you ever used wild dehydrated Mushrooms? They are mighty delicious. This was a blend of Morel, Shiitake, Porcini and Chanterelle dehydrated forest mushrooms. We did have this sauce with lovely pork chops, but this recipe is really about the mushroom sauce, which would be exquisite with Lamb or Beef too!
2 bone in naturally raised ...
- LEFTOVER'S EASY FRITATTA Another egg dish but without the pastry - fritatta. Basically, this was just made with leftovers. Thank the heavens I had leftovers - it has been crazy busy in my neck of the woods. I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner!
Even if you did not have these leftovers they could easily be cooked ...
- CARNIVAL SQUASH AND CHUNKY BEEF STEW Have you ever had Carnival Squash? Wow - so, so, so delicious! Last year I tried Curry Squash, and thought I had died and gone to heaven. This year, it's definitely Carnival Squash....sweet, nutty, full of flavor and texture. I also realized I am a squash freak...who knew?
After first tasting Curry Squash, I decided to ...
- BAKED CHICKEN TAQUITTOS WITH CREAMY SALASA SAUCE Years ago we used to go to this Mexican restaurant that served fabulous Chicken Taquitos. After a time, I started getting sick. It was not from cross contamination, thankfully, but it was from Industrialized chicken. As a result, we have not had Chicken Taquitos for a long time now. And, I no longer eat chicken ...
- BANGERS AND MASH Merciful heaven! I have said this before on this blog....you need quality ingredients to cook a great meal. Bangers and Mash you ask? Ohhhh yeahhhh. This meal was to die for.
Years ago (too many to count) we went to a pub with a group of friends. Everyone placed their orders - burgers, steak, fish and ...
- BROCCOLI AND LEEK CHEDDAR SOUP This was the first time I have ever tasted Broccoli and Leak creamy soup. No cream here, no milk here, just creamy, full flavor, deliciousness, worth devouring. Especially if one has just had...ahem... a root canal - minus the Gluten Free Garlic Toast. Tasty and Hearty! If you want a great Gluten Free French Bread ...
- DANISH FRIKADELLER - CHICKEN STYLE Well, my mom, and any other Danish person in the world out their would not, absolutely not, call this Frikadeller. I did not know what else to call this dish. Normally, Danish Frikadeller is made with ground beef, or a combination of ground beef and pork, or just ground pork. I could not call this ...
- AN EAST INDIAN DINNER FEAST
Each year, I have an insatiable, almost unreasonable, craving for East Indian Curries. It usually begins in the Fall, and continues on until early Spring....so that gives a good 5-8 curry dinners, at least. Erin, of My Asperger Girls Adventures did this lovely post on Indian flat bread called Dosa's. Once I saw that recipe, ...
- HAM AND VEGETABLE GRATIN This is cozy up comfort food served along side mashed potatoes. It has been raining for three days straight now, we are back to "monsoon" weather. On days like this, comfort food is what I look for....
For this dish, I used dried rub sage - if you have fresh all the better! This dish would ...
- GERMAN ROULADEN Before I get into this lovely recipe, I just had to post a picture of these gorgeous Calendula Flowers...in October? I have never seen that before! Usually, they are long gone by early September...our weather this year has been so strange. Although, I must say, I appreciate the pretty color....
Onto the recipe. This is my ...
- A DELICIOUS RECIPE INSPIRATION
Have you ever wondered what is in a person's name? Sometimes I think nothing...we are much more than our "names". At other times, in this world, how do we Not identify with our names?
Growing up, I was constantly called "Ina" as in Ina Garten, of the Bare Foot Contessa. I hated it more than I ...

- MEATBALLS IN DRUNKEN TOMATO SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI SQUASH Well, you can tell from the title what went into this recipe! I have never had spaghetti squash before, so decided it was time to try it with meatballs and tomato sauce. A friend gave us this lovely spaghetti squash from his garden - so delicious, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a delicious alternative ...
- DIJON HERB BACON WRAPPED PORK TENDERLION Mercy! A simple dish, so easy, and so delicious. But then, anything wrapped in bacon has to be good right? Not only was this hormone antiobiotic free, naturally raised pork, but so was the pig that the bacon came from. Does not get any better than this, seriously, does not get better. The flavor ...
- CHILI CHEESE MEATOAF We are still getting lovely sweet red peppers from the Farmer's Market, so I have been trying different recipes to use them up. I took some tips from this meatloaf recipe, then added the other ingredients. In this family, we are always game to try a new yummy meatloaf.
There are just a few more Saturdays ...
