Truffle Rosemary Cheddar Crackers – Secret Recipe club
It’s Secret Recipe Club time, something that I look forward to every month. Unfortunately this will be my last month. As much as I enjoy being assigned another blog in secret and then revealing what recipe I made, I have been struggling with getting my posts done, or even posting on time. My schedule has […]
Grilled Lobster with Tequila Lime Butter
At this point in our lives my husband has everything he needs and then some, truthfully he has more than he needs. This makes it difficult to buy him gifts. Just when I think I’ve thought of the perfect thing, like the time I decided to get him a miter saw, he ends up buying […]
Layered Greek Dip {Secret Recipe Club}
It’s that time again, and whew I made it! Last month I was a week off and totally messed up my Secret Recipe Club reveal. For those of you visiting the first time. SRC is a food bloggers club where we are secretly assigned another blog and make one of their recipes. Then we all […]
Coffee and Hibiscus Spareribs
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 […]
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 […]
Triple Truffled Deviled Eggs
I have never ever seen an episode of Mad Men. It’s true. It’s on my list, but lately I just don’t have time to watch T.V., case in point I have chopped recorded and haven’t watched an episode since January…it’s filling up my DVR. So why am I posting a recipe for a Mad Men […]
Roasted Grape and Shaved Carrot Salad and a Bertolli Olive Oil Spray review
I was contacted by Bertolli to see if I would like to review their new cooking sprays, I was more than happy to try them out (anyone who reads my blog knows this is not my norm). Disclaimer: I was not compensated in any way for this post, the products were sent to me (they […]
Red Apron Butcher tour and more – IACP 2015
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending my second IACP conference, once again it was a fun time and a great way to network! I learned scads and enjoyed eating and drinking the whole weekend. Don’t know what I like more…the food or the people? Here’s my mostly photographic weekend. Photos taken at Red […]
DIY Rendering Lard: Leaf and Back Fat
It’s no secret my love for Eric and Audra at Groundworks Farm, a local organic farm where I purchase my whole pasture raised pig and use their produce as much as I can. Actually last year I based by whole Cafe Paris menu on what they grew, changing the menu weekly to provide fresh […]
Creamy Cilantro Lime Lentil Salad
How do I get myself involved in stuff? It’s not that I just can’t say no (although that is true), there truly are forces projecting me into projects, ideas, concepts, improving the community and getting my crazy on. Not even a full month into the year, I have ignored my Confucius Summer dog, who advised […]
