The changeable spring weather here in New York often has one wishing for something light while still yearning for something comforting. I have the perfect salad for those moments – duck and watermelon salad. It’s a beautiful display of ingredients that are also perfectly yummy.
Today’s recipe is stewed spicy basil chicken. It’s a combination of Thai and Chinese flavors. It’s a wonderful dish and really difficult to walk away from. If you’re going to cook this dish, invite only one person to share it with you, as you might find that you will both want another serving.
Usually, I share recipes with you in time for an impending holiday or event, but today, I’m sharing the recipe I cooked today for Easter dinner – seared duck breast with Cointreau sauce.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
How do you serve bacon-wrapped filet mignon without using pork? Easy – why you use beef bacon of course. And what do you get? Beef bacon-wrapped filet mignon!
Sweet and spicy coleslaw is a quick and easy salad that goes with so many meals. You can use any variety of the usual coleslaw ingredients if you like, but I used napa cabbage and radicchio. A great combination of flavors and gives great eye appeal.
Stuffed long hot peppers have been my labor of love for a while. I must’ve tested this recipe about ten times, and now I’m ready to share it with you.
Parmesan thyme truffle fries is the perfect side dish to go along with a tasty steak. Well, any meat dish really. Conversely, I prefer to eat them on their own with a robust glass of Chardonnay.
Parmesan thyme truffle fries are full of flavor. These salty, herbed thick cut potatoes with just a touch of cheese are the epitome of comfort food. One bite into these glorious fries will have you begging for more. They melt in your mouth, but only after a crunchy crispiness rivaled by very few side dishes.
Roast half leg of lamb is the perfect dish for two. A 3lb roasted meat dish seasoned just enough to complement it’s flavors.
I love cooking in my cast iron skillet, and it does a great job as the vessel for today’s recipe – skillet baked sausage potatoes and peppers.
Skillet baked sausage potatoes and peppers makes for a great meal for two. Or the foundation for brunch – just add eggs. Or a family-style side dish for four. It’s a truly versatile dish for all to enjoy.
Lime Garlic Green Cauliflower is simply what the name describes. Green cauliflower sautéd in garlic and fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of parsley for garnish.
