Right Out of Terceira
Nope, not Grandma Rose’s recipe but she’d rave about this if she’d a taste. A young friend who shares recipes with me now and again says this will be prepared as one of the meats served at Easter. Melissa’s family is right out of Terceira. She just had a birthday and complains she’s in her thirties. Ha. Albeit she’s been cooking since she was a child. Her recipes, yep I’ve tasted her Portuguese Beans, are a mixture of traditional Portuguese and well, American dishes. She tweaks her American dishes but her traditional dishes not so much. I tweaked this one just a little … lack of availability of slab bacon or “bacon steak” as Melissa calls it, and well, my handful of spices may be different from Melissa’s. Slab bacon isn’t really too difficult to find but I wanted to make the dish now … And not have to travel 40 minutes to our special Portuguese grocer.
Warning, this dish is not for the faint of heart … it’s rich and you just can’t stop at one serving.
Baked Ziti
Great family dinner highlighting Baked Ziti and Peanut Butter Cake. I’ve been asked by family to spend less time at the stove and more time at the table with them. Some meals it’s almost impossible but not this one. This is an amazing dinner for a crowd and no one feels neglected not even the gourmet.
Chile Colorado
Earthy beefy Chile Colorado! Thinking quickly I turned the last little bit in the serving dish into this quesadilla. That’s what I get … attempting to do a food photo while everyone is eating. Wait! Two slices of flat bread hot off the skillet, slathered with Chile Colorado, sprinkled with cheese and slapped together. Beyond expectations. Luckily I got in a couple of snapshots before this too was gone.
Check out my Red Chile Sauce here. You’ll need two cups for this recipe. It’s worth doing from scratch.
Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup
My daughter’s visiting! When I asked what she’d like for dinner … “Something healthy.” I knew what she meant! … Satisfying, great taste, few on the not so healthy calories and pretty too. Here’s my own version of this popular Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup.
You can see my big selection of soups here! We love Stuffed Bell Peppers too! Try this version too!
Check out my daughter’s Lifestyle Blog! You won’t be disappointed!
Pumpkin Braised Short Ribs
Lots of wonderful ingredients make up this savory pumpkin dish. Whether you’re into pumpkin, just a hint here, or not this is an amazing short rib treat. Impress your family or guests with this easy dinner presentation. I failed to mention this even tastes better reheated. Yes, it’s one meat dish that can be served as leftovers and no one is the wiser.
Happy First Day of Fall 2016!
Meatloaf Stuffed Potatoes
You either love meatloaf or you hate it. In our family not all are into it. Since it’s one of my favorite comfort foods I’m always trying to disguise meatloaf to make it more palatable for the very few that turn up their noses. This recipe is somewhere between a Shepherd’s Pie and a loaded baked potato. Enjoy this simple variation of meatloaf.
Meatloaf and Knock Offs
Meatloaf may have a bad rep but not in our family. We love a meatloaf! While I’m putting together my next special meatloaf dish you might enjoy these recipes.
Blue Cheese Burgers
These Burgers are Perfect! Blue Cheese Burgers are our preference for this Fourth! These burgers can be prepared one of two ways … with a creamy blue cheese topping or with the blue cheese mixed right into the ground beef. Both recipes are delicious. The second is a little less time consuming and the first recipe gives a bit more blue cheese taste. You decide. You can’t go wrong!
Old Fashioned Pot Roast
Just like in the 50’s!
Few ingredients and all about the roasting method or the pot anyway! Here’s our family dinner … unsophisticated but cozy and delicious!
