Homemade Focaccia Bread with Fresh Rosemary
I tried quite a few recipes for Focaccia before landing on this one. Some were to thin, too dry, too thick…this one is perfect! It could be because you cook it in a small pool of olive oil and who wouldn’t like that? The extra oil in the pan makes a crusty bread and the…
Grilled Ginger-Soy Chicken
Simple, simple, simple! Just a few ingredients plus an hour to marinade and “Bob’s Your Uncle”! I used organic chicken thighs with fresh ginger and garlic…but you could easily substitute chicken breasts (try to stay organic if you can) and ground, garlic and ginger…you get near the same results! Ingredients 2 pounds chicken thighs (bone in…
Turkey Quesadilla Burgers
The first time I ever had a Quesadilla Burger was in Palm Desert, after 18 holes of golf with our very dear friend’s, Raela and Bob…both prolific golfers and lovers of good food…and guess where they took us to have this fine burger? Applebees! ‘So, if these guys are such ‘food lovers’, Kathi, why did they take you to freakin’ Applebees?’ you ask. Well, I’ll…
Homemade Ricotta Cheese
I made this again…I just had to see if it was as good as I remembered, and girlfriend…mmmmmm,mmmmm,mmmmm. I truly don’t think this recipe got the attention it deserved the first time, so I am reposting. Listen to me my fellow foodies, put your ear closer to your computer screen so you can hear what…
Homemade Garlic Croutons
For my friend Holly who is always looking for new uses for old bread! I used wheat, white and threw in a few stale Sweet, Sexy Dinner Rolls. Made a nice medley! This is one of the few recipes I have that is actually better with garlic powder in lieu of fresh garlic. Fresh garlic tends…
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Portable Strawberry Shortcake! You can take it on the road with you, and anytime you need a little taste of summer…take a little nibble. I’ve been wanting to blog this recipe since the dark days of winter and finally, the sun is out in Seattle and there is reason to celebrate! I consider myself a…
Turkey Taco Pie!
Okay now, don’t be talkin’ smack about my simple old Taco Pie…I know, it’s a little South Park but it is really yummy! This recipe took first place in the Pillsbury Bake Off in 1970 and I’ve been eating it ever since. My mom made it, my sisters make it (well at least one of them, the other…
Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts
So easy and so yummy! You can apply this same technique to most veggies that you love. Brussel Sprouts are a trending food these days and I had not had them for years but they are just popping up everywhere! Come to find out the husband loves them…go figure. You think after 30 years you…
Perfect Crispy Oven Fried Chicken!
Ho hum, another recipe for oven fried chicken…but not so fast my foodie freinds! My oven fried chicken recipe can beat up your oven fried chicken recipe! What makes mine so perfect you ask? Buttermilk. Not the kind you find next to the weird milk products in the dairy case, but the kind you make…
BBQ Chicken Pizza with Smoked Gouda
Homemade pizza can be tricky. I am not sure you can make a perfect one without a brick oven that’s about 550 degrees. I’ve tried a pizza stone, homemade dough and the grill and I’ve banged out some pretty good stuff, but this one comes as close as any to a real pizza place pizza…every time! I…
Asparagus and Gruyere Tart
I have a blog fan…I do, I do, I really really do! His name is Rob and I work with him at the big old coffee shop in Seattle. He is in close second to my mom in regards to how many recipes he tries of mine….and his partner calls me the “Spatula Lady”, which I kinda like 🙂…
Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Oooey gooey, spicy, creamy, tasty yumminess! This is one tasty chicken recipe. You can adjust the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapeno. I used two large ones but I’m a hottie, what can I say? Most of the heat of a pepper is in the seeds and veins, once removed you get a nice…
Chiles Rellenos Casserole
I have finally left Italy and am heading toward Mexico! I really enjoyed my stay in old Italy, and plan to revisit very soon, but time to back away from the pasta and red sauce and embrace a new land! So today we have Chiles Rellenos Casserole. An ‘easy on the cook’…
Spinach, Feta, Bacon and Mandarin Orange Salad
I am twirling, I am skipping, I am dancing and singing and why? Because I love, love, love, my new camera! I bought a Canon Rebel T21 Kit with two lenses (the large lense is still in the box…someday, sighhhhh). I can hardly figure out how to take a picture with my new camera, but the pictures…
