Blood Orange Salad and Vinaigrette
Blood oranges tend to be sweeter than other oranges and are well known for the beautiful rich red color. They are in season December to April, so enjoy them when you find them. We use them in the salad and juiced in then vinaigrette. White …
Alaskan King Crab
Particularly, Red King Crab is valued for its sweet flavour, high meat fill and health standards. The actual fishing season in the Bering Sea is very short; October and November.
Sloppy Joe’s – Traditional
A sweet and tangy tomato-based sauce, there are as many recipes for Sloppy Joe’s as there are cooks. How much sweet and tangy is up for debate. What isn’t debated are the basic ingredients, ground beef, tomato-based sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce and brown sugar.
Gin and Sage Chicken
We have cooked with wine before, but never with gin. This very soft and buttery sauce is drizzled around crispy chicken rather than on top of it. Meyer lemons are sweeter; if that can be said of a lemon.
Rotel Tex Mex
Rotel Mexican Style Tomatoes date back to the 1940’s. Available now in various spice levels, the original recipe with zesty green chilies and spices does heat up a dish. Rotel Tomatoes are not the same as salsa, and became a famous addition to queso.
Asian Beef Simmering Ribs
We love Beef Simmering Ribs, skipping the bone and lots of fat! Make a day ahead if you prefer. Serve ribs in pieces or shredded with 2 forks.
Coq au Vin
Julia child’s cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” certainly launched this dish outside of France. Twice she featured Coq au Vin on her TV show. Even though there are several steps to Coq au Vin, it actually comes together quit quickly.
Chicken Tikka Masala
There’s lots of discussion about where Tikka Masala originated. In British restaurants, a Pakistani Chef in Scotland, or India………..regardless it is delicious and one of Britain’s most popular foods.
Cheesy Chili Mac
This 1 skillet dish is reminiscent of American Goulash, made with tomatoes, ground meat, elbow macaroni and cheese. It is quick comfort food for an easy weeknight meal. We just about always build a bowl, it is easier for Gluten and Gluten Free options.
