Tender Seared Scallops are like the Fillet Mignon of the Sea. The combination of fresh Bing cherries and garden fresh French tarragon made a surprisingly sweet and savory pan sauce that came together in less than 15 minutes. I admit that sometimes my recipes involve fussy steps. Maybe I'm a little bit masochistic on the weekends, and I love the challenge of channeling
Peaches & Cream Pie (Would you like crust with that?)
This "pie" with fresh peaches, baked in a creamy mixture is a beautiful pie dessert. I had leftover peaches and made this recipe in ramekins-- without a crust. While the pie was delicious, I LOVED the ramekins of baked peaches and the cream filling. Either way, crust or not crust, you can't go wrong. I kicked things up a couple more notches, by making a Creme Anglaise and a Raspberry Coulis sauce.
How to Make Homemade Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberry Butter
Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberry Butter are delicate, buttery, tangy, and delicious… are just a few adjectives that describes how good these are. Lingonberries are the authentic jam to use for this recipe, and they have become more readily available in supermarkets. You can serve these with plain jam, but I decided to add the jam to whipped butter which gave these extra richness. I can
Grilled Maple-Bourbon Basted Grilled Salmon
This salmon is grilled and slathered with an incredibly delicious glaze. This simple glaze has only four ingredients. In less than 15 minutes, we had beautifully grilled salmon for dinner. Sometimes the simplest recipes can turn out to be some of the best. This one sure was! One of my favorite cooking magazines is "Cuisine At Home". If you've never seen an issue, please order a free
Slow Cooker Bolognese Sauce and Homemade Pasta
Bolognese sauce is a hearty Italian pasta sauce in which ground beef and pork are simmered for hours in milk, wine, tomatoes, and vegetables. While it sounds a little odd, the sweet, deep-tasting sauce is a classic for good reason. There's a little bit of fussiness involved, because there are a few steps to prepare this for the slow cooker. I promise you it's worth it. What makes this sauce
Asparagus, Pea and Saffron Risotto (With or Without Shrimp)
Risotto is a northern Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. I think of risotto as comfort food, Italian style. You need to use either arborio or carnaroli rice for this recipe to work. The rice is cooked with a little white wine and then, slowly, chicken stock until it is cooked "al dente" (to the tooth…as in a crunchy bite). As the big ta-da, grated Parmesan
The Best Homemade Strawberry Dream Cake
This Homemade Strawberry Cake is not made with box cake mix and strawberry jello! I much prefer to make cakes the old-fashioned way, with pantry ingredients and real strawberries. The frosting is a blend of butter and cream cheese. Strawberry pulp turns the frosting a pretty pink, with bits of strawberries. This cake is a show stopper! The frosting was off-the-charts delicious! If you've
How to Make Quicker Boston Baked Beans
Boston Baked Beans are typically slow-baked for hours. The secret to shortening the cooking time is using baking soda to quick soak and cook the beans. That means that no overnight soaking is necessary! The total cooking time is reduced to 1 1/2 hours. That is much quicker! Baked beans as a side dish, is a favorite side dish whenever we grill. I usually buy my favorite commercial brand--
How to Make Carolina Red Slaw
Carolina Red slaw is different from traditional coleslaw. Instead of mayonnaise, this slaw uses a vinegar dressing. This version of is slaw perfect for outdoor serving, as it can be stored for longer periods without refrigeration. The tanginess of ketchup, and spices, gives this side dish delicious flavor.
