This soup showcases the sweet flavors of summer corn. It's creamy and hearty, with added diced potatoes and bell pepper. Instead of salt pork, I substituted bacon. I also made my easy Skillet Bread Rolls for a complete and satisfying meal. The first day of Fall slipped quietly by. I barely noticed. The climate, where I live, usually brings warm and beautiful weather-- but, then it can change to
Fig-Prosciutto Gourmet Pizza with Arugula and Shaved Parmesan
This is a "gourmet" pizza that is so different from the traditional "red sauce"-- and we love it! If you like figs, the sweetness combined with Prosciutto de Parma (which is the costly part of this), melted fresh mozarella, the peppery greens of arugula and shaved Parmesan…well, let's just say this makes a lovely pizza and makes a lovely presentation. I love figs, and I only recently discovered
Herb and Panko-Stuffed Broiled Tomatoes
Stuffed Broiled tomatoes are one of my favorite side dishes for any kind of dinner. Panko crumbs are infused with a little fresh garlic and thyme to amp up the flavor. They look fancy, taste delicious and looks impressive enough for company dinner. When I made Ina Garten's Potato Basil Puree, I decided to add broiled tomatoes as an extra bonus side dish. I often forget
Country French Omelet (Bacon & Potato Frittata)
This Country French Omelet is a very simple breakfast/brunch recipe. (It's really like a frittata.) Yukon Gold potatoes are cooked until golden and soft, and bacon is cooked until browned. The eggs are baked to perfection and garnished with fresh chives. It's my husband's favorite breakfast dish. I hope it becomes yours. This recipe comes from Ina's "Back to Basics" Cookbook, that I own. The
Basil Mashed Potatoes Side Dish
This Basil Mashed Potatoes Side Dish is loaded with flavor! This recipe is a great way alternative use up and enjoy the flavor of fresh basil. Blanched and pureed fresh basil is blended with creamy mashed Yukon Gold potatoes and Parmesan cheese. The end result is an incredible side dish that tastes of summer. One of my favorite herbs is basil. This year, we have a lot of basil-- and time is
Baked San Francisco Garlic Fries – Made Lite
San Francisco Garlic Fries are famous at the AT&T Park. This recipe has been adapted to be baked instead of deep frying them. This lowers my guilt a wee bit! Tossing the fries with olive oil, parsley and plenty of garlic makes these over-the-top delicious! My hometown of Monterey, California is no more than a 30 minute drive to Gilroy, California-- home of the Garlic
Easy But Fancy Scallops Gratin
Scallops, to me, are the fillet of the sea. When cooked properly (as in not overcooked) they are tender and mild in flavor. This recipe isn't too complicated, and you can even make it ahead of time. It's fancy enough for a dinner party, too! The panko topping has fresh herbs, garlic and then the scallops are baked in white wine. So incredibly good (Try substituting shrimp, if you wish.) I
The Best Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting and Fudge Sauce
These are the best moist chocolate cupcakes, filled and topped with a peanut butter frosting, and drizzled with a homemade fudge sauce. Incredibly good! Make these, and you'll be a rock star! Baking is very therapeutic for me. Those who hate to measure are (in my own theory) those who say they hate to bake. I don't mind measuring ingredients. The problem is, I have minimal self-control
The Best Grilled Turkey Burger
Say "goodbye" to dry ground turkey! The burgers were moist and flavorful, and guilt-free. Sauteed veggies-- including apples-- add moisture to the lean turkey, while chutney really "trumps" up the flavor of the patties. In the warm summer months, we do a lot of grilling. We don't get very fancy, really-- because we're both tired when we get home from work. Most any kind of
