Holiday Salmon Pinwheels
Can we talk? I cannot do anything involving salmon with cream cheese or bagels without remembering a funny story that happened way before Hubby came into my life. It makes me shake my head and wonder.

What is a tostada but Nachos on a giant tortilla chip? In our house, Nachos are awesome. We have nachos for game night, or just because we like eating with our fingers. So giant nachos with a pitcher of Margarita were perfect for a Tijuana Tuesday.
New Potatoes Béarnaise
Several life-times ago, Hubby and I frequented a restaurant called Brandiwines. It was a French-Country place with some of the most excellent foods on the planet. Some of my favorites were the Tournedos of Beef and their house specialty, Poached Pears in a wine sauce.

Mexican Rice Cups
When you are serving up some great Mexican dishes, what do you serve as a side? In our house, I must confess, it’s the usual suspects – refried beans and rice. I know, not very original. Every Mexican joint serves refried beans and rice. Just because it’s not original doesn’t mean ordinary.

Let’s begin with a small disclaimer. My featured image is not a photograph of our beloved Family Farm. Dad’s pick-em-up is in much better shape, and the barn is a beautiful shade of red with a fairly new roof. I know because painting and re-roofing were family projects not that long ago. I just liked the country feel of the photo, so I thought it would be nice to share.

Buttery Sourdough English Muffins Smothered in Sausage Gravy
A while back I shared with you my Meat Lover’s Pizza. One of the ingredients was a half-pound of Jimmy Dean’s Regular Breakfast Sausage. That left me with a half a pound of sausage for another use. Now I know I could have tossed that other half-pound of sausage meat in the freezer. But I’ve got to tell you, I’ve tried that and a year later I’m tossing out the freezer-burnt sausage I forgot to use.

Ribbon Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Garlic
Did you know that today is National String Popcorn Day? Yep, it is. I’ve always wanted to string popcorn and make cranberry garland for my tree.

How else was Santa going to get into our tiny apartment?
