French Onion Soup from Famous & Barr in St. Louis, Missouri

I grew up in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. When I was in my late 20′s I moved with my husband to Raleigh, North Carolina where we lived for 10 years and had a family, my children Emily and Lauren. We moved from Raleigh to Denver, Colorado where I’ve lived since. I’ve been away [...]

Beer Tasting at Fadó’s Irish Pub, Denver, CO and a Shepherd’s Pie

Although I’ve too often stated my longing to be Italian, the truth is I’m a mixed breed of German, Swiss, English and Irish. Even though Irish food is seldom thought of as gourmet offerings I have to tell you I love it. Fish and Chips are a favorite as is this dish, Shepherd’s Pie. Does [...]

My Best Meatloaf includes Bacon and Mae Ploy Sweet Chilli Sauce

I don’t do a lot of guest posts so it seems a bit strange to have the 2nd one in two weeks. But there are good reasons. One is a local friend who needed help while on vacation (wait…help while on vacation…is that even possible?) and today I’m helping someone whose time and energy are [...]

How does Sfeeha on Pita end up with Tripping on Goat?

Well, after quite a journey, that’s how! Believe it or not, it all started with my contribution to the Peko Peko Charity Cookbook. I was asked to contribute a dish, something simple that most of us could actually make for our families and I had recently seen something I thought perfect; some Sweet Potato French [...]

Grapefruit, Ginger and Honey Flank Steak

I love flank steak. There I’ve said it. Again. Maybe for some it wouldn’t seem a match for that magnificent rib eye I recently had but I just love how the ‘need’ to marinate it also means that the flavor can be so manipulated (in a good way) by the cook depending on your tastes. [...]

Tagliata (Cut) Ribeye with Olive Oil, Garlic and Parsley

This past year has had it’s share of ‘moments that suck’ I won’t deny. I realize I never set foot in my garden all last year so am excited about how far I’ve come. There will be gardening this year and…hey, the cane makes it easier to corral my dog! Luckily there have also been [...]

Charcutepalooza – Home Cured Corned Beef on a Reuben Sandwich

I’ve followed Charcutepalooza since it’s inception. As a matter of fact my company, Kinetic Webs, is a sponsor, assisting Cathy (MrsWheelbarrow.com) and Kim (The Yummy Mummy) with all things web related. As a sponsor I can’t participate in the quest for prizes but thought I might try the occasional challenge. What is Charcutepalooza you say? [...]

Cincinnati Chili with Spaghetti and Cheddar Cheese

I’ve been nostalgic lately and not sure why but memories of my childhood and home and friends from the past seem to be flooding in lately. Maybe it’s having heard from some fellows I went to college with (true to form, they were all together drinking!) or maybe even that this last week saw my [...]

Beef Bourguignon, My Birthday with Julia Child and @ManPans Giveaway

A classic dish that is in no way trendy but just perfect for today; so soul satisfying and delicious…but trust me, this is not your mother’s beef stew! I’ve always loved Julia Child. Watching her on PBS was my first ‘Julia’ experience, cooking from ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ brought us closer together and [...]

Jalapeño Cheeseburgers with Bacon and Grilled Onions

I like a good hamburger as much as the next guy…but the truth is, most often they aren’t the ones made on my grill! I’ve used a quick grilled hamburger most often when I was cooking when my kids where still at home for those dinners when there is no time for anything else; kids [...]

Bisteca ala Panzano’s via Junior League of Denver; A Cookbook & A Contest!

First or Fifteenth? This is a first. First contest I’ve ever done and depending on your way of thinking…1st anniversary of this blog. But REALLY? I’ve been putting recipes online since 1995; it was the first website I created after taking a course in HTML (not the last…that exercise and others led to my starting [...]

My daughter Lauren came over today to help me do some preparation so that her dog could live here for awhile. Boring stuff; so when some friends dropped by for coffee; she took that opportunity to do something more fun and made us an afternoon snack. I had a package of Pillsbury Crescent Flaky Dough [...]
