Grilled Cheese All Grown-Up

Who doesn’t love grilled cheese?  Seems to be the trend in various cooking publications as well.  Below I’ve listed 3 suggestions but check out these sites to give you even more inspiration… grilled cheese...

Basil-Lime Chicken

Thirty minutes is about all you need to get this onto the dinner table( you do need to marinate for 30 minutes prior).  Just about any vegetable will do as a complimentary side.  Blanched green beans with a squeeze of lemon and sea salt…...

Pork Tenderloin w/ Maple Glaze

The maple syrup and apple cider vinegar adds just a little sweetness to this pork entree.  Serve roasted Brussels sprouts w/balsamic vinegar & pancetta, and wild rice pilaf, in front of a toasty fireplace.

Gooey Grilled Corned Beef Sandwiches

Delicious, heavenly, and gooey way to use up your leftover St. Patty’s Day corned beef.  If preferred, caramelize the onions before placing on sandwich (I do).

‘Spiked’ Pumpkin Ice-cream Float

Autumn begins at the end of this month. To me that means that it’s closer to pumpkin time. Pumpkin, ice cream, beer… together you ask? Why yes why not. An adult beverage due to the beer people, so this is so not for the underage.

Pumpkin is most definitely one of the most under-used squashes in the kitchen. Sure there is pumpkin pie… pumpkin bread… but how about serving it in a big bowl of pasta? Combined with fresh sage, Parmesan and bacon, you can’t go...

Pumpkin Crumb Cake

Tis the season to use pumpkin.  Why not I say, in a crumb cake?  A slice of this luxurious crumbly cake, alongside a warm mug of apple cider hits the spot on an early fall morning.

Kale Slaw

Kale is one of the “it” green these days.  Rightly so, by-the-way.  It is very high in beta-carotene, vitamin K and vitamin C.   This slaw is crazy good and super rich in nutrients.  Even the next day, this slaw packs a crunch! READ: Is Kale...
