This recipe is from Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) and it is delicious! I made it last night and was very happy with it. I thought Annie would like the shout out to goat cheese…a yummy addition. I used ground turkey instead of the sausage called for, but thought it was still super. Salud mi amigas!

Here is my second offering for the week. This stew was absolutely DELICIOUS! It pairs well with a Malbec (yes, Annie, you’ve converted me…to goat cheese as well) and sourdough bread. This recipe is from Martha Stewart.com, but I have adapted it a bit to enhance the flavor. I also halved the recipe, which turned out delicious, [...]

I’m always looking for ways to get more healthy protein into my diet…going to the meat counter helped because the chicken was already cut up and I just selected the bone-in pieces. It was also cheaper than buying a whole chicken and also less [...]

This is the recipe I used for Clint’s groom cake. I iced it with a milk chocolate cream cheese icing (equal parts cream cheese and butter…totally decadent). Anyway, it is a classic and delicious recipe, good for cupcakes or cakes and challenges any boxed yellow cake mix. It is from Martha Stewart:

Seriously, this bread is super easy and so delicious. Make sure your measurements are exact…a little too much flour or not warm enough milk will prevent the dough from rising. I’ve added a tsp. of cinnamon and it makes a delicious breakfast bread with cream cheese and honey…so yummy. I have never added the currants, [...]
