Easy hors d'oeuvres

It seems as if I always have a brick or 2 of cream cheese in the fridge. It is versatile for so many recipes. One of my favorites is one that is easy and very good. You can decorate it up a little for the season or leave it plain. In our house, we call it Tuscan Torte. I usually serve it with table water crackers to preserve the integrity of the wonderful flavors. Try this out on your guests...you will be glad you did! Tuscan Torte 1 8-oz brick cream cheese, softened Pesto (I use Buitoni which… Continue

Egg and Roasted Pepper Sandwich

I love the combination of peppers and eggs. Both of my Nanas would often make this dish but it took the form of a scramble. In any form I love peppers and eggs. On top of a toasted slice of whole wheat bread I spread some goat cheese. On top of the cheese I placed a big slice of roasted pepper. On top of the pepper I slid a fried egg. Salt and pepper and a couple shakes of green Tobasco and I was set. So easy. So delicious. So satisfying.

Baked Goat Cheese Salad

If you like goat cheese, this is the salad for you. Crispy coating covering a warm, creamy center. Set atop fresh salad greens tossed in a zesty vinaigrette, this baked goat cheese salad turned into part of the main course. With a side of roasted sweet potato, S and I split the 8 oz. of cheese and found it rich and filling. The recipe is from the fifth season of America's Test Kitchen which I've been watching on a DVD set from the library. The videos from the library are free. This recipe is co… Continue

Turkey Taco Salad

This was dinner tonight. I sauteed some ground turkey with chopped onion, ground coriander, oregano, cumin and some tomato paste. I deglazed with some white wine. I put the meat mixture on a bed of fresh spinach with chopped cucumber, mushrooms, tomatoes, jalapenos and shredded cheese. I topped it with some salsa (made from a dry mix that nearly blew my head off it was so hot) and some homemade southwestern ranch dressing. Not exactly authentic, but pretty tasty. Continue

Cheese Making

This is a pic of the lasagne I'm making for tonight's dinner. Dev was hard at work all day, making mozzarella and ricotta to make this dinner possible. We have been making our own moz. and ricotta for about a year now, and we just purchased the supplies to begin making our own yogurt and cream cheese. One day I'd like to try making feta and some of the harder cheeses like gouda and cheddar....but baby steps! I have noticed a few differences between home made moz. and store bought moz. On the pos… Continue

Gouda Mac and Cheese!

Dev (my significant other) loves gouda cheese. We had a hunk of it in our fridge. So...I decided to make mac and cheese out of it. Unfortunately, I wasn't going by a recipe, so I can't tell you exactly how I did it. I can give you a blow by blow, but that's about it. I started by sauteeing an onion in olive oil and butter (if I had to guess at amounts, I'd say maybe a couple of tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of olive oil). Oh- and I started boiling the elbow pasta. I boiled about half… Continue
