Grilled Marinated Calf’s Heart

June 25, 2021 Comments are Disabled

This is a wonderfully simple, delicious dish, the heart not, as you might imagine, tough as old boots because of all the work it does, but in fact firm and meaty but giving. As a special and quick Valentine’s Day update, I figured I should […]

ORANGE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CAKE

June 12, 2021 1 comment

Is it a brownie, or is it cake? Should you have it for breakfast or dessert? Does it taste like chocolate orange or the most decadent truffle? Not that you will care about its name when you’re busy shoveling slice after slice into your mouth. […]

Chicken Piccata

June 7, 2021 Comments are Disabled

There seems to be two exceptions to the “no chicken” rule at our house–rotisserie chicken from the market (which means I don’t have to cook!) and Chicken Piccata. Or as Scott affectionately calls it, Chicken with the Green Things. If you’re not familiar with Chicken […]

Carnitas-Stuffed Baked Chicken

May 31, 2021 Comments are Disabled

I’m about as predatory as they come, but I have a confession…as I was prepping the dish; I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. I was washing and patting dry my chickens, and it occurred to me that, damn, I hope my ultimate purpose […]

Paleo Shepherd’s Pie

Happy St. Patrick’s day everyone! St. Patrick’s Day for me is usually uneventful. It’s the day after my daughter’s birthday (and two days before my other daughter’s birthday) so I am usually begging for a break between parties! This years themes were Doc McStuffins for […]

Back home in Tennessee my grandparents would have a big fish fry every summer and all of our family and friends would come. My grandfather and all his friends would fish all year and save it all for the fish fry. I have so many […]

SPICY CUCUMBER SALAD

I love pickles. Crunchy, cold, dill kosher spears are my favorite although I usually try to refrain from buying them as I can go through a jar in no time at all. And we can’t forget about Minnesota Sushi (ham & pickle roll-up) which is […]

KETO / LOW CARB COLESLAW

My favorite, KFC coleslaw, has 19 GRAMS PER SERVING!!! That is a whole day of carbs, in one serving! This recipe may not be quite up to KFC coleslaw standards, but it is still pretty good…and only 217 calories and 2 grams of carbs!

Homemade Crusty Bread

May 16, 2021 5 comments

When I first bought a KitchenAid mixer, I was all over bread baking. Totally addicted. But my inability to make a super crusty bread with a super squishy inside caused a brief bread baking hiatus. And then I re-discovered the ever-popular New York Times bread […]
