It’s a Scandinavian thing, really it is! Drive down the road in Denmark during pine needle picking season and you’ll see Danes pulled off to the side of the road foraging pine needles. Seem strange? No stranger than juniper berries or rosemary! I got turned on to this delight several years ago when I attended […]
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, […]
For the longest time I had a dislike for cream sauce, it seemed as if it was used to cover up food that no child in their right mind would like. Lutefisk and peas in my case. Now put some cheese in the white sauce and it was a whole different ball game, but I […]
First off, if you’ve made a resolution to lose weight, stop reading right now! For the rest of you…on with the post. I’m spoiled and my waist shows it. I’m a live to eat person and find very few things more enjoyable than a good meal. I eat well…often. However, even for me certain foods […]
I’ve turned into such an inconsistent blogger, my life has been railroaded with a platter full of work and activities. After retiring from the Air Force I was trying to find my way, I loved food, any thing and everything to do with food. So I blogged, then went to photography school, then volunteered as […]
Some dishes are just so good, simple ingredients yet immensely satisfying. When they are easy to make and serve up many portions it just seems like a bonus. I cook and photograph for a living. I cook a lot, I cook for other people a lot, I menu plan, shop, cook and teach a lot. […]
Every month I go through the same thing, I receive my Secret Recipe Club assignment. The goal: choose a recipe from a secretly assigned blog, make it, photograph it and write a little about it, then reveal your secret assignment on a scheduled post day. A Secret Santa club for food bloggers. Only with Secret […]
I’ve been busy cooking up a storm for Pig of the Month again and I can’t help but share! A brisket cooked in the crockpot that doesn’t fall apart to shreds and then topped with a sinful cheese sauce…better than Arby’s! Get the recipe here.
Let’s just say, it’s no secret to Mariel and Mary Ann that I’m a big fan of theirs. I started following Feast on the Cheap when they were just a baby blog 😉 As a point of interest, it was their blog where I first heard about Secret Recipe Club! Ahh-yup, my very first […]
What a week the last week has been. It was Western Art Week here in Great Falls, I served up a special BBQ Brisket menu, taught a Sushi rolling class and catered at the Portal Art Gallery for 75+ people. Thank goodness when I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment, I was right on the […]
