One these days I’m going to count how many recipes that I’ve posted that have lemon as an ingredient? Perhaps I shouldn’t or I might find out exactly how freakishly obsessed I am with all things lemony. Sometimes is just better not to know. I’m finally posting my the recipe that I eluded to in […]

Rocky Mountain Steak Salad
We’ve certainly had an unusual winter this year, not much snow but a lot more grey days. Deep dark depressing grey days. Days that make you want to cuddle up on the couch with a good book or movie and some hot tea and not leave the house (or couch) at all. It was one […]
Lobster Verrine
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 […]
Greek Inspired Salmon Salad in Lettuce Wraps
Confession time. My husband and I started Weight Watcher’s 1 1/2 weeks ago. I haven’t really talked about our change because so many people are on their New Year’s Resolution Band Wagon to get healthy and fit. The decision to do WW isn’t about any New Year’s resolution, it merely was about the fact that […]
Sun Dried Tomato and Bacon Salad Dressing
On August 27, 2011 I made a notation in my little spiral notebook, the one that I write recipes in (and a bunch of other stuff), it said: Need to make again for photos.
J-E-L-L-O Salad a.k.a. Pretzel Jell-O Salad
As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, Jell-O was a regular part of my life. There was nothing strange about an oddly colored gelatin molded with weird looking fruit, vegetables and even meat in it. (Source) There wasn’t a family, church or funeral gathering that was complete without a molded Jell-O salad. As a […]
Pear Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette-SRC Dishing the Divine
Guess what? Bonus post from me. Motorcycles and recipes in the same day, wow. Why? Sadly one of our Group D Secret Recipe Club members was orphaned. Is that not the saddest word? Images of poor Oliver Twist come to my mind “more please”. It breaks my heart. No one should be orphaned! I was […]
Peach Salad with Cumin Dressing
I’m not ready to let summer go yet. Fortunately the weather has been cooperating. Here in Montana we are finding ourselves with an unusually late summer. After record snows this past winter, it is a welcome feeling. Just a few days ago we had temps in the 90’s. Even though they have dropped down to […]
Caesar Salad and a few of my favorite things…
I’m never buying Caesar dressing again, never ever. Hands down, without a doubt I just made the best ever Caesar dressing. Do you get what I’m saying? Do you know what I mean? Do not buy Caesar dressing ever again. And make this right now! Here’s the tricky part, making garlic paste. It’s not tricky […]
Jicama and Mango Salad
In my last post McGyver made Pierno De Peurco Rellena, a fabulous rolled and stuffed pork loin. He used to make Pierno De Peurco Rellana for all of the H.O.G. members in Panama. The dish is labor intensive, and rich with flavor. I figured the least I could do was to make all the sides. […]
