Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree

I saw a picture of a recipe similar to this one, and thought it looked delicious. I happened to have some ricotta leftover in my fridge from chicken rollatini that I needed to use up, so this was the perfect thing to use it for. Halibut was great for this recipe, but you could alsoContinue reading “Seared Halibut with Ricotta Pea Puree”

Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich

We have been trying to eat a bit healthier lately, and that makes a weekend splurge even tastier! I saw a picture of this sandwich on social media and really wanted to try it. It has Indian snack mix in it, and if you have not had Indian snack mix, you need to go onContinue reading “Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich”

Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice

I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”

Grilled Jerk Chicken with BBQ Sauce

Jerk chicken is one of my favorite ways to eat chicken. You can use the marinade and sauce in this recipe on boneless breasts like I did, or on thighs, or on bone in chicken which is the more traditional way to eat it. I had extra chicken breasts in my freezer so that isContinue reading “Grilled Jerk Chicken with BBQ Sauce”

Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)

They were discussing German recipes and this one came up and my family is crazy about capers so I knew I wanted to try it (thank you ladies, for the idea). According to the recipes I read,Continue reading “Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)”

Pork Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Sauce

Is anyone else completely obsessed with blue cheese? My cousin and I used to be addicted to the McDonalds side salads in the 80s with the packets of blue cheese dressing, and my love of anything blue cheese has never died. My daughter likes it enough that she picked out a blue cheese truffle fromContinue reading “Pork Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Sauce”

Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Cream Sauce

Pork tenderloin cooks quickly so makes a good weeknight meal, but it can be dressed up too. Pork pairs really well with strong flavors like mustard and tarragon, and the bit of cream in the sauce for this dish really rounds out the meal. I use my sous vide machine to cook pork tenderloin, followedContinue reading “Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Cream Sauce”

Spiced Cranberry Sauce

I’m not going to lie, I like canned cranberry sauce. It is delicious. Homemade cranberry sauce is super easy though, and it is fun to make. Watching to cranberries pop open when heated is weirdly satisfying. If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce, but would like to try, this is good recipe to go with.Continue reading “Spiced Cranberry Sauce”

Creamy Garlic Chicken

Creamy garlic chicken consists of lightly breaded, pan seared chicken served over mashed potatoes with a caramelized garlic gravy. Need I say more? 🙂 I can pretty much eat endless variations of meat/gravy/mashed potatoes, and this one is a nice twist on the traditional beef dishes. Like any dish where I’m going to pan fryContinue reading “Creamy Garlic Chicken”
