Celebrating First Year Blog Anniversary with a New Recipe Index

My first year anniversary  came and went last week.(January 5th)  Hard to believe that a whole year of blogging has gone by so quickly. I guess it is true what they say,  time really does fly when you are having fun. Along with starting year two with  the Saturday Blog Showcase, I  have also created…

First Roast Chicken Dinner of 2010

This is probably my most repeated dinner.  Moe had actually been asking for a Roast Chicken dinner since about two days after our Christmas turkey dinner.   I finally caved.   Should have made it sooner.   I really could eat this meal once every 10 days.   How boring is that????? Sides were the must-have mashed potatoes and…

Homemade Fudge

I made a double batch of Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge.  Most of the fudge got boxed up to send to family back east.  But I did keep out a few pieces for Moe and I. Walnut and White Chocolate Fudge ================= 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup cream – heavy/whipping…

Warm Gingerbread Cake with Caramel Sauce

Last nights dessert was a  last minute decision.   I wasn’t going to bother making a dessert but I knew my two guests would be disappointed.  Soooooo I baked a Gingerbread Cake.   This cake is rich, moist and  and delicious and can be served with either a lemon sauce or caramel sauce. I like both sauces…

Braised Lamb Shanks

First Breakfast of the New Year

What better way to start 2010 than with a late breakfast. We were up early and had coffee, but I waited until 10:30 before cooking breakfast.  This way I can get away with only cooking two meals today. Spanish Tortilla baked in a vintage Griswold Cast Iron Skillet Served with English style bacon and toasted…

Peppercorn Steak

Dinner last night. Peppercorn Steak with a cream sauce seasoned with blue cheese. This is another one of those quick to put together dinners. New York Strip steaks, well trimmed and presalted for at least a couple of hours. Rubbed with fresh garlic and coated in crushed peppercorns. I used a mix of green, black…

Scallion Pancakes

I’ve been thinking of making Scallion Pancakes ever since I first saw them on Foodgawker and Tastespotting. Tonight was the night.    I decided to use the recipe from  Big, Bold, and Beautiful because her pancakes looked the best. And they didn’t disappoint.   They were flaky and delicious.  I mixed up my own dipping sauce…
