Ancho Pork Medallions

Another Cooking Light recipe! I’m actually trying to be a good boy and maybe even drop a couple of pounds before the wedding.  What I really want to do is lose all of the weight I gained after I quit smoking, but I’m thinking short-term goals are probably more realistic.  A couple of pounds between [...]

Mahi Mahi with Smokey Tomatoes

With the gastronomic success of Victor’s Pasta Monday I think I’m going to start Seafood Thursday. I really do want to get more fish into our diet and the only way to do it is to make it part of an actual plan.  My normal cooking style is to open the cupboards and see what’s [...]

Peaches and Puff Pastry

I had about six peaches that needed using up and a package of puff pastry in the freezer.  Almost-instant dessert! Just for grins and giggles, I actually peeled the peaches – something I rarely do.  And they were so sweet I didn’t even add sugar to them! I peeled and sliced them and then mixed [...]

After years (and years) of rolling gnocchi off the tines of a fork, Victor went out and got a real, live gnocchi board.  Just in time for Monday’s Pasta Feast. He’s going to be making Malloreddus con Saliccia. I can’t wait.

Pansotti con Salsa di Noci

I don’t even know where to begin. Dinner tonight was just unbelievable. I could die right now and have lived a complete life. This is one of those recipes that sounds wonderful but is actually even more wonderful when you taste it!  Just wonderful. Creamy good.  The sauce is surprisingly silky for having so many [...]

Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine Sauce

Chicken and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine Sauce

This recipe comes courtesy of Cooking Light.  Well…  The concept does. I followed the guidelines, but my ingredient list was a bit different.  I wanted to use up a few odds and ends in the ‘fridge. I liked the original recipe and will probably make a closer-to-the-original version one of these days.  In the meantime, [...]

Lunch the way it is supposed to be. A bacon cheese burger with lettuce, tomato, fried peppers, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. And tonight is Victor’s Pasta Night. I can’t wait!

Sunday Brunch

What a fun day we had today!  Our dear friend Ruth was visiting from Vermont, so she stopped by to spend a few hours with us.  Naturally, that means food. I made a variation on the Rustic Summer Tart from a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the original recipe and my changes will follow… Rustic [...]

Pork Tenderloin

Pork Tenderloin

Tonight’s dinner went through three different incarnations before fiunally getting onto a dinner plate! My first idea was to make pork sandwiches on focaccia and a cold green bean salad.  I had focaccia left from last night, so I didn’t buy any bread today.  And I’ve been remiss – no dough in the ‘fridge. So…  [...]

Homemade Ice Cream

Homemade Ice Cream

We had a little ice cream making party this evening. Our niece, Elizabeth, is down visiting from North Jersey.  She was supposed to be here going to a cooking camp for a week.  Alas, it was canceled at the last minute.  A definite bummer because she really does like to cook and is getting quite [...]

Steaks and Corn Relish

Steaks and Corn Relish

Gorgeous weather outside.  Perfect for firing up the grill. I grilled a couple of steaks with the Gates Kansas City BBQ Sauce and topped them with a bit of the gorgonzola cheese I picked up the other day.  The cheese is great and it went well with the spicy-hot BBQ sauce. Sitting under the steaks [...]
