Thanksgiving Menu with a Mediterranean Twist
This year I wanted to change things up a little when it came to the traditional Thanksgiving feast. I was becoming bored with the long-established menu that is served every year like clockwork. I wanted to try something new. I sought a menu that was out of the ordinary and had the potential to become a future family tradition on [...]
Emmentaler, Gruyère and Crème Potato Gratin
I remember when growing up we would have Potatoes au Gratin that came from a box. This recipe is a far cry from the Betty Crocker boxed gratin. This is an amazing side dish. I serve it often. The creaminess of the crème and the tanginess of the Gruyere and Emmentaler cheese provide a divine experience. I recently served this with prime [...]
Pork Stew with Hard Cider, Pearl Onions, and Potatoes
Pork and apples pair well together. The flavor of the apple complements and enhances the flavor of the pork. Whether you see a suckling pig with an apple in its mouth, or pork and apple skewers, apples are a great accompaniment to pork. This pork stew is no exception. You cannot beat granny smith apples and pork in a broth made from hard cider [...]

The flavors of garlic and oregano complete [...]

Warm Beef-and-Potato Salad with Béarnaise Dressing
When you think of a potato salad, you usually think of potatoes mixed with herbs and mayonnaise. I am a big fan of potato salad as a side dish at a summer gathering. I would have never thought of having potato salad as my main dish. After having the Warm Beef-and-Potato Salad with Béarnaise Dressing, I am a believer. This dish mixes [...]
Maple Sugar-Ginger Pork Roast
When it comes to pork roasts, this recipe is a keeper. This has to be one of the best pork tenderloin roasts I have ever had (sorry mom). Pork tenderloin is usually one of the pricier cuts of pork. It is juicy and tender and marinates well. I was very lucky to find it at $2.49/lbs. The flavors are spicy and sweet. There is little zing [...]
