Ghost Strawberries
My daughter has always liked chocolate covered strawberries, and now she has taken it one step scarier. She told me about strawberries dipped in white chocolate and decorated as ghosts for Halloween.
So I melted some white chips and added a bit of vegetable oil and dunked some freshly washed and dried strawberries. For eyes and [...]
Baked Potato Soup
The weather turns cool and thoughts at our house turn to soup. My wife found a recipe for hearty baked potato soup. I found the link here. It basically is a potato soup that has all the toppings you would put on a baked potato. Very rich but very satisfying.
Here are some tweaks we made [...]
Out Of Season Strawberries
I know that it is the hip thing to buy local when you can. I know that North Carolina strawberries are the best I ever tasted. I also know that our strawberry season is long gone and I enjoy good strawberries.
Have you noticed though that strawberries now seem to be a year round food. I bought [...]
Chicken Tetrazzini
We were looking for something to cook that we hadn’t had for a long time and found my sister in law’s recipe for Chicken Tetrazzini. We have made it over the years and the recipe card is barely legible. The dish is good and usually my wife makes it, but on Sunday I decided I [...]
Loaded Potatoes in 3 Minutes
When folks go backpacking, dehydrated food is often the way hikers eat. You just add water and viola, you have dinner.
While shopping a few days ago I had a coupon for Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes. The Potatoes were dehydrated. I grabbed a bag and last night while deciding what to fix for dinner, my wife decided [...]
Juicy Pears
It had a few bruises on it and I had it in my frig over the last several days, it was a donated pear. My coworker, Sharon, gave me one; but I forgot that she told me it wasn’t washed. Too late now, it was gone within’ minutes.
Pears are not one of my favorite fruits; close to the top [...]
Machine Kneaded Bread
I have a large wooden kneading board, I got it for my birthday several years ago. I always looked at it that it is a good workout to take dough and physically work it into a satiny ball ready to rise. The problem in this busy world is that there are times I would want [...]
Spaghetti Fundraiser
A family friend and member of the Durham Kiwanis Organization sent us tickets for their annual spaghetti dinner. Always in the moodfor good food, I looked forward to a traditional meal of spaghetti and meatballs, salad, bread, and drink.
The food didn’t disappoint. Even though Italian chefs talk about the pasta being the star and not the [...]
Beef Stroganoff Comfort Food
As school starts and thoughts turn to fall, we decided to have a dish that is associated with cooler weather. Even though the temperatures are still hot, you can only eat so many summer salads.
Beef Stroganoff is pretty easy to make and has a delicious hardy taste. You do have to like mushrooms and meat [...]
Bill’s Blue Cheese Wedge Salad
In restaurants, I had one in New York, then in Cleveland, and last weekend I had one on Friday and on Saturday night. I think I am becoming addicted. Even though they have been around, I just recently started ordering the Wedge salad at restaurants. I love blue cheese and that is a key factor [...]
