I don’t do enough asian cooking so I thought I would give it a go to one of my favorite chinese dishes, mu shu pork. I have to admit it did take some time to prep, but worth every minute.

Updated from the recipe archive back in 2009…..I’ll be making this again tonite for our sunday night supper!!
We made this hearty tuscan vegetable soup last night, and it was not only really good, but also very comforting on a cold March evening. I found this recipe from my Sunset magazine but decided to change it up a bit by adding the sausage, and doubling the amount of Swiss chard,
which made this sausage, bean, and vegetable soup so satisfying all on it’s own! The sausage I picked Read the rest of this entry »

Beef and sausage turnovers, a variation of a recipe I posted back in 2008, “turkey turnovers with fresh mushrooms”. It’s always fun to change it up, in an effort to try something new.

My friend and client Ines shared this recipe with me. Thank you so much Ines, it was wonderful! In fact I’ve already shared it with other friends that say they can’t wait to make it again! Ines used Penne for her pasta, obviously you can use whatever you prefer, I picked the fettucine because it was what I had on hand. The sauce, a tasty wine and butter sauce that is thickened with milk adds the finishing touch to make this a very decadent pasta dish. Read the rest of this entry »

During the cold winter evenings, I will never say never to a nice steamy bowl

Award Winning Chili

There are many stories and legends about where chili originated from. My first thought was Mexico but maybe not. According to this link here, the first recipe for chili was put on paper in the 17th century by a beauful nun, sister Mary Agreda from Spain. This outstanding chili recipe came from the “Chili and chocolate” cook off that I recently attended at Read the rest of this entry »
