Living in SW Florida means we have access to fresh fish daily. And of course a nautical tablescape is a must. So it seemed fitting that I provide a easy to make baked fish taco and set up a pretty easy peasy nautical tablescape for the “catch of the day”. For my nautical tablescape, I…
New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburgers are NOT in Florida I am sad to say, unless one makes their own.…. First let us get the spelling right. Green chile is spelled with an “e”…not an “i”. If you add an “i”, you are talking gringo food like a red based chili soup made with beans that…
Picture this…Sicily 1922..Somewhere, the echoes of a tenor singing “Ole Sole Mio” carries down the narrow, winding brick-laden streets of Southern Italy. Wafting through the air is the pungent smell of tomatoes and spices gently bubbling in an aged pot on the back of a wood stove nestled in the kitchen of a crumbling limestone…
Quick Fix With Ground Beef …. My dear readers, My Mother was a magician with using hamburger in recipes. Years ago, ground beef was about the cheapest meat around and believe me when I tell you that I have had Hamburger in everything from plain ole hamburgers to pizza, meat loaf, soup, spaghetti, cabbage rolls,…
Knock! Knock! Who’s There? Well, my dear readers, this is not a Knock Knock joke. This is the kind of “Knock Knock” that comes to your door that you can not refuse answering…… or at least, I choose not to refuse. Actually, the knock didn’t come directly to my door, but through the many miles…
Yes, my dear readers….there are only 11 days until Christmas! I also know there are so many variations of a Mexican Casserole…I believe I have at least 4 or 5 recipes listed under Main Dishes on this Blog….so this recipe is just a bit different than some. I am always ready to do a variation…
Still at it my friends….Fall/Autumn is soup time at our house and the temperature on my temperature gauge this crisp morning was a cool 69 degrees and if that doesn’t say “Soup”, then I don’t know what does. Now, I do have to confess that the temps are supposed to inch higher today…but for right…
Mexicali Rice! Mexicali Rose! Do any of you remember the song Mexicali Rose sung by none other than Gene Autry? “Mexicali Rose stop cryin’ I’ll come back to you some sunny day” “Dry those big brown eyes and smile dear Banish all those tears and please don’t sigh Kiss me once again and hold me…
Let’s Eat Stew, Chunky Mexican Stew! Cold weather makes one think of soups and stews and certainly those of you in the Midwest and Northeast most likely are making delicious soups regularly. This Chunky Mexican Stew is so good that it doesn’t have to have cold weather to enjoy it. I like this stew year…
Ground Round with Onion Gravy. Yummy, especially now that we can use a leaner form of ground beef. Do you remember the good ole comfort food like Hamburger Steak or Salisbury Steak? Traditionally served with mashed potatoes, it’s a great way to dress up a pound of ground beef and you probably have all…
This is a very old recipe given to me by a family friend. Her name was Deanie… I have always loved her name. She had a very traditional first name that she did not care for. Her middle name was Dean (after her Father) and she chose to use that name. Of course her Mother…
Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall? Just as long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter at all The lyrics to the song “Side By Side”…see above, …fit our family. We didn’t have a lot growing up…we had food on the table and we had clothes on our backs, but we certainly…
