Easy Peasy Marmalade Meatballs

  These oh-so-simple meatballs are a huge hit at our annual Holiday party.  They were devoured last year, in fact once the meatballs were gone I caught a few of our guests pouring the leftover sauce over crackers. FYI, catalina dressing cannot be found in all grocery stores, however, Shop Rite in Chatham Township carries it.  I purchased […]

Spicy Beef and Sausage Tacos

Tacos… a weeknight dinner fiesta. The combination of beef and sausage in these tacos add a lot more dimension in the flavor department.

BBQ Patty Melt Burger

The recipe calls for cooking the burgers on a griddle or frying pan, but I also recommend grilling.  The griddle/pan method keeps the burgers juicy, although warmer weather stirs the grill master in us all.  These burgers are simply...

Grilled Herb Hamburgers w/Goat Cheese

Cut out the bun for this burger beauty. The ground beef is loaded with fresh herbs, grilled and then seated comfortably along with grilled tomatoes and white onions, all atop crisp romaine and endive spears. Not a goat cheese fan? Feel free to...

French Onion Soup

Beef, Shiitake, & Snow Pea Stir-Fry

You don’t have to travel far to have a little international flare in a meal… try it at home with this beef stir-fry. Chili-garlic sauce really adds some heat, so add slowly to taste, or not at all. Either way you wind up with a flavorful...

French Onion Salisbury Steak

A soothing winter’s dish. It’s an entree… it’s a soup… to complete the meal, serve a Waldorf salad alongside.

Roast Beef Tenderloin w/Mushroom Madeira Sauce

How about a test run for the upcoming holidays. Serving perfectly roasted beef tenderloin will have your family and guests running to the dinner table. What makes this version special, is Wolfgang Puck’s creamy wine-based mushroom sauce.

Lasagna-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Love this recipe from thekitchn. I love pasta. I love lasagna. But… sometimes I could do without the carb content in the noodles. Spaghetti squash  provides the bowl AND the “spaghetti”! These are generous in size, so for the...

Spicy Beef and Sausage Tacos

Tacos are a bit more special with both beef and sausage. But it’s not complete without all the fixins’ included. Muy Bueno!
