Cheddar Green Onion and Walnut Sauce
August 27, 2011 | No Comments »
Last week we grilled pork chops that were marinated in beer. This sauce like topping of cheddar cheese, green onios, and toasted walnuts was amazing as a finishing touch. During our warm weather months, we like to barbeque atleast twice a week, so it’s fun to change it up and try different ideas. You can use this topping for just about anything: grilled rib eye steaks, grilled vegies, toasted Read the rest of this entry »

Blueberry cream cheese coffee cake, sounds yummy, huh? And that it was! My friend Randy Parsons, a fantastic photographer, shared this recipe with me. Not too sweet or heavy, but moist, light and as Randy said “tasty”. It was great by itself, but I think it would be even better with a Read the rest of this entry »

From the recipe archives of 2008…it’s finally summer… this salad is a must!!

It has a wonderful sweet flavor. This recipe was so easy, healthy and quick for a weeknight supper that I decided to take it a step further and double the dressing Read the rest of this entry »
Quick Tamale Pie
June 12, 2011 | No Comments »
I used to make this years ago, I forgot all about it. This is a perfect week night meal that is quick and easy! If you don’t want the beef, substitute it with turkey for a leaner version. I use the Jiffy brand corn bread mix, which generates just the right amount to cover the entire tamale pie. What’s great about tamale pie is that Read the rest of this entry »

The foundation as Joe called it, is a light 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. Using pastry sheets instead of crescent rolls made the overall presentation extra elegant. We also thought that it was not as Read the rest of this entry »
