Spicy Pimiento Cheese

Posted on March 31, 2011 by terry

Here’s the deal: We all like my Paula Deen-based pimiento cheese spread – be it on a cracker, or slathered on top of a burger; but this slightly lighter, slightly spicier alternate was also pretty darned popular. The original recipe … Continue reading →

Teriyaki Sauce

Posted on March 30, 2011 by terry

I had everything needed to make Thai pork stew; some nice pork chops, assorted fresh peppers, garlic… except… Hmmmm. No teriyaki sauce – in the back o’ the fridge OR the pantry! I HATE it when that happens! Well, all … Continue reading →

Meatloaf Quesadilla

Posted on March 29, 2011 by terry

I thought this made for a nice appetizer, and very conveniently used up the last of some meatloaf taking up shelf space in the fridge. The original recipe from foodnetwork.com called for serving these with a cilantro cream, which was … Continue reading →

Korean-Style Romaine

Posted on March 28, 2011 by terry

I believe this recipe was originally meant to be served as a salad course, but I opted to offer it as an appetizer because: A: I needed another vegetarian munchy for game night, and B: I had all the ingredients … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27, 2011 by terry

Here it is – the culmination of three days of posting and planning! And you know what? It’s not too, too bad! I’ve always kind of liked the idea of this pizza – especially how it tastes almost exactly like … Continue reading →

Pizza Dough

Posted on March 26, 2011 by terry

Post two in our Big Cheeseburger Pizza trilogy – and maybe the most important part – the dough. This particular pizza calls for starting with a store-bought baked crust (think Boboli) – so I thought I’d take a shot at … Continue reading →

It’s Special…

Posted on March 25, 2011 by terry

It’s cold. It’s gray. It’s SNOWING! Grrr. Oh well, can’t do anything about the weather but wait for it to get better; and really; if it’s going to be all cold and gray and everything, at least the snow brightens … Continue reading →

Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs

Posted on March 24, 2011 by terry

A nice, simple chicken when you don’t have the time (or buttermilk) for a marinade; and lemons or tomatoes are not an option. I paired ours up with some sautéed ‘shrooms, Basmati rice and a tossed salad. Ermmm, the little … Continue reading →

Parsley Potatoes

Posted on March 23, 2011 by terry

Surely not. This prosaic little side dish needs no recipe does it? One presumably adds some parsley to some potatoes, and one calls it a day, no? Apparently not. When out to dinner with friends recently, Rich was quite taken … Continue reading →

French Onions

Posted on March 22, 2011 by terry

I pity the poor soul who felt they had to offer this recipe review on foodnetwork.com: “Horrible… a waste of good cheese.” Tasting a bit like a nice onion soup, I thought this simple (and decidedly NOT horrible) casserole a … Continue reading →
