Usually a dish just names itself but I’m afraid that this little condiment/sauce suffers from an identity crisis. It looks like gremolata/pesto/chimichurri, it possesses some of the elements of all. However it is not of Italian decent yet it is of Italian influence. I guess I could describe this as truly a fusion. Thai basil, […]

Grillaður huma {broiled lobster)
Easy, easy lobster dish! And just in time for Valentines Day. Yes I am still exploring the culinary world of Iceland and have spent all of 10 minutes learning some Icelandic words down. I’m now a pro at ja and nei (yes and no), pronounce yow and nay. To be fair August is a looong way […]
Reuben Biscuit Bombs
Did everyone have a great St. Patrick’s Day? I spent it all alone, well mostly alone, I did have my doggies. Oh but that deter me, nope not one bit. You see I love me some Corned Beef and Cabbage. Alone or not I cooked it up and ate it…not all of it of course. […]
Avocado, Bacon, Sundried Tomato Tartine with Roasted Garlic Cream Cheese Spread
My Secret Recipe Club hiatus is over and I am so glad to be back. Not only am I back, but I am back with one amazing dish from Authentic Suburban Gourmet. For those of you not familiar with SRC, it’s a bloggy club where we are assigned another blog, stalk them for a month and […]
16 uses for Cilantro Pesto with Essential Oils
Life is full of lessons. Some lessons are good and some are bad. Sometimes the bad ends up being for the best because you make the best out of a bad situation. Despite careful planning, things don’t always work out as expected. Actually it seems like the more carefully I plan the more likely my […]
Company Mashed Potatoes
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is but a week away? I’m so very excited for this Thanksgiving! My dearest friend Jen and her boy Jake are driving from Spokane, WA to spend Thanksgiving with us. It is monumental to me; she’s as much family as any of my own. Let’s see, the last time that […]
Grateful Rosemary Potatoes Romanoff
/I see on Facebook many of my friends are listing something they are grateful for, some of it is important and some is silly like “I’m grateful for cornflakes” but the sentiment is what’s important. Maybe saying you’re grateful for cornflakes sounds silly, but shouldn’t we always be grateful to have food to feed us? […]
Slow Roasted Tomatoes and life lessons from a tomato plant
This was it, the very last remnants from my garden (other than a few hardy herbs). My little pear tomato plant was the wonder of my garden this year. I started it from a wee little seed, I only had a couple of them, so I did a germination test. Only one seed sprouted. I […]
Meyer Lemon and Sprouted Pesto
It may be winter outside but it’s spring in my house. My garden last summer was a total disaster, I obviously had no clue what I was doing and while I was gone for 5 months, let’s just say that McGyver and Thing 2 didn’t give it much attention. I yielded a couple of radishes […]
Italian Guacamole
I really didn’t know what to call this concoction. It was born out of a craving for a BLT, only there wasn’t any ‘L’ in my house for a BLT. Okay, so I’ll have a BAT, no not a blood alcohol test (I’d probably fail that one). I mean Bacon, Avocado, Tomato. Are you […]
