Roasted chicken with root vegetables

Roasting chicken is a constant reminder that I need to invest in a roasting pan.  I always spend more time and energy fabricating up a roasting rack but I have found a system that works flawlessly and rewards me every time with crispy skin.

The best part is I can transfer the pan right to the  […]

Roasted tomato sausage penne

If you would have told me a month ago I would be getting fresh tomatoes I probably would have laughed at you because this has been a horrible tomato year for me.  It started with 11 tomato plants (10 of them in raised beds and 1 little guy in a container on my back patio).  […]

Quinoa and herb salad

I know most people are probably freaking shocked because for once it is not a bread post.  However, for those who are dying to see the Bread Baker’s Apprentice of the week you will have to be more patient because either the cinnamon raisin walnut or focaccia (which I have to say was my favorite […]

Pork chops with wild raspberry port sauce

I am starting to learn one awesome thing about having a blog is people want to send you cool stuff.  I am normally not one for taking products just because I have to write about the product and if I think it sucks well I do not want to write that.  The idea of being […]

Mexican inspired quinoa

I hope that I am not the only one during the spring and summer who slows down on posting.  To me this time of year is meant to be enjoyed outside not spent inside trying to be creative or screwing around with Photoshop.
I really hit a creative wall today as I sit here sipping coffee […]

Creamy morel mushroom pasta

I found morel mushrooms!!!  To clarify for those who have been following the ongoing saga, Jeff hunts for mushrooms in the woods, no I did not put on my hiking boots and get lost in the woods.  However, on Saturday when it was pouring rain and once again to wet to do garden work I […]

Grilled Salsa Verde and act now I will throw in flank steak

Lately I have been in this mode of have to throw together this spice blend, I have a bunch of bottles of POM how can I use them, and all around surprisingly creative.  However, I feel this need to get back to basics every now to remind myself that there are time proven recipes that […]

Grilled Meditterean style chicken in foil pouch

The streak is finally over with and Jeff has grilled.
This recipe also contains the evil boneless skinless chicken breast that I despise and constantly badmouth.  However, in the freezer cleaning spree I happened to come along a pack of them and was not going to throw them away so pouch cooking it is.
My major complaint […]
