    Tasty Tuesday: Steak Marinade

    June 12, 2012 /

    There is something extra delicious about a steak fresh off of the grill.  If that steak has been marinated for a couple of hours in a favorite dressing, mouths begin to water with the sounds of the steak sizzling on the grill. Mustard Beef Marinade 1/3 c of Olive Oil1/2 c of soy sauce2 T of lemon juice1 T of Worcestershire Sauce (a small tangent – I love that word!  Every time I say it I have to let it roll off my tongue thinking about a succulent piece of steak melting in my mouth.)1/2 T of mustard powder from your spice rack or 1 T of mustard from your frig1 garlic clove, pressed Mix all ingredients in a…

    Zesty Italian Chicken

    June 1, 2009 /

    It is cold outside. Wait, it is JUNE! Today the temperature is 57 degrees at 1 pm. A few weeks ago, I would have loved this warmth. Now, I’ve been spoiled by warm dry air. My garden is thriving in the overcast moisture… but not me! So, I need something warm and zesty for dinner. I love using salad dressings as marinades, as sauces and even as dressings on salad! Italian dressing has a zip and bite to it that goes so well with chicken, and then there is that side dish of crusty bread, always good. Cooking in a Dutch oven, a heavy cast iron pot that can sit…

    Life is a Party Complete with Food, Laughter and Chatter

    July 8, 2008 /

    I think Life is a party… sometimes you are invited in, and sometimes you crash in… although oft times the escape door is missing from the picture too. So, at this party, there has to be some good eats. To me, party preparation ranks right up there with party celebration. And with any party, there needs to be invested a star performance dish. This one wins hands down. The smell of the barbeque, the chance to use an oversized fun dish and the taste of this entrée is fantastic.

    Great Tastes

    January 9, 2008 /

    I have a bookcase of cookbooks and cooking magazines! It started as a shelf… then spilled into two and on and on. As we moved around the country and world, I wanted some of the local flavor to be part of our everyday life. So the collection began innocently. I can remember going to a county fair in Utah (Hill AFB) with Dale. We saw the food stands and there were tacos. (Didn’t have them in NYC area where I grew up.) We ordered 2 tacos – pronounced take-ohs. Oh yeah, we were newbies to the area! As we took our first bites – meat, cheese and lettuce took flight…
