Oven Baked Lobster Tails
Oven Baked Lobster Tails. Lobster. What a treat. Growing up in New England I looked forward to our annual Lobster & Clam Bake each summer. Steamed lobsters, little neck clams, corn on the cob, new potatoes and lots and lots of melted butter. We’d cover the picnic table in newspaper before pouring out a layer of steamed seafood love. Everyone up to their elbows in the sweet juices.

Oatmeal Cookies {Share the Love}
My sister happened on a treasure a couple of weeks ago. She found a recipe box filled with family favorites. I was giddy, she was giddy. We spent an hour on the phone reminiscing over each one. When we got done I had written out a half a dozen that I had to make in a hurry. These Oatmeal Cookies were first up.

I remember sitting outside at a patio table, sipping on a margarita, and soaking in the first glimpse of summer. It was twenty years ago and the name of the restaurant escapes me now but the Monterey Chicken does not.

Pepin Potatoes {aka Smashed Potatoes}
We affectionately call these “Pepins.” Jacques Pepin has shared many wonderful recipes with the world, but these potatoes were a gift to us all. Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes braised in buttery chicken broth, then gently ‘smashed’ and allowed to caramelize in the pan.

Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese Sliders
Sometimes a recipe comes to me based on one single ingredient. In this case it was a gorgeous Kimmelweck roll in the case at the bakery. I couldn’t wait to get home and make tuna melts for lunch. I promptly proceeded to burn the bun. With all other ingredients gathered I turned to my freezer to find the tail end of a pack of Party Rye. And that is how the Tuna Melt Grilled Cheese Slider was born.

Avocado, Tomato & Basil Omelet
Avocado, Tomato & Basil Omelet. There’s nothing complicated or new to learn from this post. It’s just a reminder to use your fresh herbs every chance you get.

Havarti cheese came along and gave it a big group hug.
