I am completely serious when I say that I might love leftovers more than the original serving. I realize there are some exceptions, but for the most part I’m a leftovers kind of girl.
We recently enjoyed some fine Ribeye steaks (remind me to tell you later about the reverse-seared method Nick used to cook them). Any how, we found ourselves with enough leftover steak to turn into Beef Stroganoff.” Continue reading »

It’s very well documented that I have a huge crush on lemon & thyme. So when I spotted this Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade recipe in BHG magazine it instantly became 1st on the must-make list. Having fresh Georgia peaches at the Farmers Market was our little personal touch. Continue reading »

This Tomato, Cheddar & Basil Pie might just be the prettiest pie I’ve ever made. There’s something so beautiful about a rainbow of homegrown ripe tomatoes.
I’ll let these pictures do the talking. Words wouldn’t do it justice. Continue reading »

Oh my. How I love a Mojito.
I made this Blueberry Mojito in mere minutes. Key ingredients: fresh mint, limes, sugar, ice, rum, club soda and in this case blueberries.

I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That’s exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw. Continue reading »

Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart
Asparagus lined one side of my grandfather Boppy’s garden, the only barrier between me and the glorious blueberry bushes. It seemed with each days passing it grew a foot taller. It’s feathering shoots locked hands making it nearly impossible to pass through. I had no use for it when I was eight. Continue reading »

We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops. Continue reading »
