Peppercorn & Ginger Crusted Ahi Tuna Steak topped with Herbed Goat Cheese
I’ve got to say this sounded better than how it came out. I do like the goat cheese topping, but pan frying then broiling over cooked the fish. It’s one of those been there done that dishes not very memorable. Peppercorn & Ginger Crusted Ahi Tuna Steak topped with...
Hidden Valley Ranch Roasted Red Potatoes
This is one of those easy side dishes you can’t go wrong with. It’ll be great for all those BBQs this summer and you could even bake them in a foil packet on the grill instead of the oven if you wanted. Hidden Valley Ranch Roasted Red Potatoes (Adapted from Hidden...
Parmesan Zucchini and Corn
I made this a while back when my parents where in town around Christmas and kind of forgot about it. It’s a fantastic side dish and we all really loved it. It would make a great side for this summer when we BBQ too. We had a surf and turf meal this time with steak and...
Lazy Stuffed Mushrooms
This dish makes stuffing mushrooms a thing of the past for me! It’s great as an appetizer or side dish. It has that great flavor of the stuffed mushrooms just a fourth of the time! Seriously life changing for me and I’m shocked I never thought of doing this myself!!...
Smoked Salmon Farfalle
I left out the bell peppers from this dish since we don’t really care for them, but they would add a pretty color. Usually during the summer we smoke some extra stuff so we can vacuum seal it and have it throughout the year from the freezer. When I smoke salmon I just...
Grilled Steak with Roasted Jalapeño Chimichurri
Getting ready for Cinco De Mayo makes me hungry for some chimichurri sauce. It’s been a while since I made the sauce, so I figure I would try something new and we really loved this jalapeno flavored one. Ted Allen's Grilled Steak with Roasted Jalapeño Chimichurri...
Slow Cooker Chicken
Nothing is better than an easy meal you can set and forget until it’s time to eat. This chicken is one of those go to ones in the summer when we go out on the boat I can come home to a nice hot chicken and not have to worry about hurrying up to make dinner. Also...
Breakfast Casserole With a Biscuit Crust
I love dishes that make making breakfast super easy. This can be done ahead of time and baked the next morning or also reheated in the toaster oven if baked ahead of time. I baked mine for 25 minutes and truthfully it could have gone longer because some of the...
Zinfandel-Braised Beef Short Ribs with Rosemary-Parsnip Mashed Potatoes
We really enjoyed this dinner. You could easily use a good beer instead of a zinfandel to create a great flavor combo. Zinfandel-Braised Beef Short Ribs with Rosemary-Parsnip Mashed Potatoes (Adapted from Bon Appetit) Printer Friendly Version ribs 3 tablespoons...
Apple Pie Cheesecake Bars
I made these for our Easter dinner party. They are simple to do ahead of time and tasted really good. I used a baking dish since my pans are limited a the lake, which was a larger size then what I needed so my filling part is a little thinner than it should be. It...
Slow Cooker Spicy Asian Beef Short Ribs
Using up the last of our steer meat I chose to make this recipe. The flavor is really nice and simple and the sauce made a great coating on the meat. I decided to cut up the ribs before adding to the crockpot which I think I’ll do from now on. It made the plating...
Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Bread
I love making bread and this one turned out really good. It also freezes well if you want to make some mini loaves in advance. My son ate this one up and enjoyed helping momma in the kitchen to make it. We ate it with some tomato basil soup, but really you can have it...
