If you never tried a sheboygan sandwich, you don’t know what your missing!! After attending numerous Giants baseball games at the A T & T park, the exciting experience is always completed with a sheboygan sandwich.

September 1, 2009 | No Comments »
Chicken cordon bleu, who doesn’t love it! I thought it would be fun to try my own version. In the past our chicken cordon bleu came premade from our local butcher. Of course they (Lunardi’s market) prepared it perfectly, however I decided to change it up by substituting their white cheese for hot pepper cheese, and their baked ham, for virginia smoked ham. The result, succelent!! After browning the chicken rolls, they simmered for about 30 minutes Read the rest of this entry »

August 17, 2009 | No Comments »
I was so excited to make these panko crusted halibut tacos last night, because I new they were going to be really tasty. And that they were!! We had dinner with some friends the other night at BJ’s Brewery, when my eyes hit the halibut tacos on the menu, I decided to try them. I hate to admit this but I’ve never had fish tacos. They were lightly breaded with panko bread crumbs, and served in warm tortillas with plain shredded cabbage. On the side was the creamy avocado sauce, and salsa. So I decided I was going to make my own panko crusted halibut tacos, but change it up a bit by combining Read the rest of this entry »
Grandpa Tom’s Macaroni Salad
August 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
My husband and I have fond memories of this macaroni salad because it comes straight from his “Grandpa Tom”. Grandpa Tom made the salad until he was 84 and although, occasionally you would find an egg shell, we still considered it the best macaroni salad ever! Now after researching the type of pasta that grandpa Tom actullly used, which was a very small short tube, (not the elbow that were so used to), Read the rest of this entry »

Chicken Jaegerschnitzel

Chicken Jeageraschnitzel, a recipe I have had for over a year that I finally made this week. This wonderful dish has been a traditional dinner in Germany, the night before the hunt, and is commonly known as the hunter’s schnitzel. The sauce features mushrooms that are cooked in red wine and finished with sour cream, scrumptious! I picked this recipe because of my love for mushrooms (funny growing up, I hated them). Did you know that mushrooms are one of the most under rated health food sources. Read the rest of this entry »
