Cranberry pecan baked brie is a really easy dish to create. Perfect for the holidays. It’s great as a party snack or an after dinner sweet treat. I like to serve mine after dinner with port. Once the dinner things have been washed and put away, so that I can relax and take in a movie.
So what the heck is Diverse Dinners up to? Well, I’ve been having fun times in the fall!
But I’m guilt-ridden, as I imagine you, my wonderful readers, are disappointed with my recent absence.
I dreamt the other night, that a new popular hashtag had been created – #wheresdiversedinnersat?! The hashtag was created by my readers who are up on the current culture vibe. My readers who could care less about pop culture had created the hashtag #wheretheheckisdiversedinners. Both were trending – then I woke up!
For those of you who have felt neglected, I’m so sorry. Life has truly got in the way the past few months, resulting in some very quiet time here at Diverse Dinners.
What’s been great about my time away from my blog is that my silence wasn’t a waste. I’ve been traveling, visiting some of my favorite places and adding new ones to the list.
So, as a steadfast mea culpa, I will share my travels with you. I’ve had a great time, it has been nothing but truly fun times in the fall and I hope my travel experiences entice you to travel somewhere fun soon.
Turkey tenderloin tempura is a super easy appetizer for Thanksgiving. You just can’t go wrong, simply marinade for 1 hour to apply flavor to the turkey tenderloin, then dip in batter and fry for 3-4 minutes and et voila, you have a nice appetizer for your cocktail party or dinner.
Turkey sausage skillet with crispy potatoes is a great one for anyone in the family. The vibrant colors of the ingredients will entice everyone. It will appeal to the senses of young ones too. This is also a great meal for afterwork, it takes no time to rustle up, and the ingredients are always so easy to find.
Thanksgiving is on its way and I’m experimenting with turkey. Turkey has never really been one of my favorite meats, but now that I’m getting older, it has become necessary to add leaner meats to my diet, and explore recipes that work for me. Hence, butternut squash pasta with turkey. A lovely dish, full of fall flavors.
Today’s recipe is crispy black sea bass. A delightful time saver fish recipe.
The skin is crisped by frying at a relatively high temperature in a combination of oil and butter. The pan is deglazed with ponzu sauce and lemon to create a sauce, which is lightly drizzled over the fillets.
I’m getting a hankering for steak, aren’t you? I haven’t moved into steak and mashed potatoes territory as yet, but I’m certainly ready for some butter basted pan seared ribeye with vegetables.
I really enjoy a juicy piece of ribeye. My appetite yearns for one, especially when the weather begins to turn cooler.
Today’s recipe is a layering of flavors and textures. Haddock with pea purée and cream sauce. A tasty dish that will work well as the main course for an intimate dinner.
Sometimes, I just need a dinner for one. Something I can put together in minutes, but a meal that is still wonderfully tasty and nutritious. When those times come about, I make something just like this – spicy chicken with tomatoes and blueberries.
This dish is so easy to create. You just coat the chicken with sambal oelek, and then sprinkle with salt. Place the tomatoes and blueberries on a baking tray, then the chicken on top. Finally, bake in the oven until the chicken is crispy. That’s it!
A simple side dish is all you need at times, and lemon garlic green beans is most certainly a simple side dish.
I’m a fan of mixing textures, so along with the lemon and garlic in these beans, I added some toasted almonds, totally makes this dish for me.
