If you’ve been following along you’ll remember that a couple of weeks ago, we bought ten lobster tails (since they were on sale at a price we just couldn’t resist). I made Lobster Verrines as our starter and Lobster Risotto as our side (which ended up being the star of the entire meal) and for […]
I’m continuing my revisit through my motorcycle journal, it started with our Honeymoon where we traveled for 10 days on McGyver’s 1998 Harley Davidson Super Glide. Fast forward a year and my journal takes us on our Anniversary Run.
For our February 14th Lobster Palooza I choose to make lobster risotto as our side. I’m telling you right now that this was the highlight of our entire meal! Initially I felt guarded about stirring up a treat like lobster into a pot full of creamy risotto and that’s my mother’s doing.
For Valentine’s Day, it was Lobster Palooza at our house (expect several more recipes). I wanted to make something special, out of the ordinary and luxurious. Then lobster tails went on sale…we bought 10. That’s 10 tails for 3 people, nearly ridiculous, but only nearly. The tails were small, not langoustine small, but definitely on […]
The rumors on the web about me are true! My Secret Club Recipe assignment this month is, Thrifty Veggie Mama. Before I delve into SRC recipe stuff for this month, I have a funny little story involving Thrifty Veggie Mama. One day I was heading home from running errands and my phone did the tada […]
I was making some black bean soup in my amazing pressure cooker. The soup takes a total of one hour start to finish and no soaking the beans; the pressure cooker has basically changed my bean eating world. But I’m not posting about pressure cooker/bean love today, however when you have a pressure cooker to […]
Seriously, I have a cold that is just kicking my ass! It has sucked the life out of me. I have no energy, no will to do anything except hack my lungs out. I’m wheezing, snoting and coughing so bad that even the dogs won’t sleep with me. McGyver has relegated himself to the basement […]
No, I’m not having any holiday confusion. I know it’s St. Valentine’s Day but it is also The Daring Cooks challenge for this month…patties! Get it…Saint Valentine’s Day, Patties…heart shaped patty? The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients […]
I’m one of those people who are super lucky to have great in-laws. My father-in-law happens to be one of the coolest people I know. He’s always full of entertaining stories, I never get tired of hearing them. My in-laws occasionally send us newspaper clippings from the local area or some stuff that they’ve dug […]
Sometimes I just know what I want, I crave it, think about it, plan it, prepare it and eventually devour it with delight. Other times, it’s all about whatever I have left in the fridge that absolutely needs to be used up. Other times, meal decisions are based on time, and way too many times […]
