    June 27, 2019

    Let’s face it, I am not a fan of salmon alone, but pair it with potatoes, along with the health benefits, I will incorporate it in my dinner menu somehow. My memories of salmon are distorted.

    End of Summer Salad

    September 26, 2016

    Although the calendar indicates it is the end of summer, Mother Nature in South Carolina is not paying attention. Yesterday it was 92º and today it will be the same, nevertheless, most farmers’ markets are closing down or will be in the next two weeks.  This end of summer celebration, because I hate the hot weather, was perfect for dinner, after finishing up a hot summer day.  Light, refreshing and colorful, if you are a vegetable fan, you will love this easy to prepare salad.  Because the vinaigrette is so prominent in this recipe, using good, fresh ingredients is important and will make a difference.  Keep in mind, the vinaigrette…

    Top 5 Criteria For The Most Tender Steak

    July 28, 2016

    Carnivores crave a most tender, juicy steak? Steak and potato is probably the most popular comfort food for meat-eating Americans. My husband and I have steak at least once a week, usually on Friday’s after a long work week. Such a simple meal requires very little clean up required. Perfect for a Friday evening at home.

    Grilled Steak Tips and Potatoes on Kebabs

    July 25, 2016

    Kebabs are an easy way to control portions and eat healthy because you will cook them on the grill. Something simple and expensive like steak tips and potatoes can become a luxurious meal.   Usually, the trick is making simplicity taste like it was complicated.  This America’s Test Kitchen recipe for the sour cream-chive sauce is fresh and taste like summer.  This recipe calls for the meat TO MARINATE FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS OR UP TO 24 HOURS.  My recommendation is to prep the meat, placing it in the marinade before you start your workday.  After the 8-9 hour workday, the meat will be perfect.    Tricks I learned while…
