This is slow cooking without the slow cooker.
We love veal and love that it can be simmered gently on the stove-top for an hour and be falling-apart, fork tender.
And, yes, I know I’ve said it before but in order to stave off the nasty comments I’ll say it again:
The veal that we get is from local farms … Continue reading.....
The first time I made stuffed mushrooms they were filled with bacon and cream cheese.
That was the way I made them the 2nd through gazillionth time, too.
Why mess with a good thing, right?
Well, when one moves to a place that doesn’t have cream cheese (when I first moved) and the bacon is… meh, one starts to get … Continue reading.....
Did someone say Burgers?
It’s summer….

This recipe wraps up my personal slow … Continue reading.....
Shrimp with the flavors of the Mediterranean: tomatoes, peppers, Greek olives, and feta cheese on spaghetti

Although he did note that we needed to make a run to the big Asian supermarket … Continue reading.....
