Halibut Pie

 


Everybody loves pot pie. It has got to be in the top five of all comfort foods. Its buttery, flaky 'lid' keeps all the creamy goodness piping hot until you finally dig in and take that first bite. It's heaven on a chilly day! So a halibut pot pie is the perfect meal to keep us motivated and dreaming of summer.  I used my delicious Sour Cream pastry for the top crust, but of course, you can always use ready made puff pastry or really change it up with creamy mashed potatoes.

Cucumber Tomato Salad



Bill and I are in Las Vegas enjoying some shows and of course amazing food! The other night we were at the Wynn, Cipriani restaurant, I had the most amazing salad and I immediately thought, "I need to create this at home"! I nailed it! 

Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookie


This is one of my favorite cookies! So quick and easy! This is best with real butter, don't cheat this recipe with a lesser type! 

Garden tomato sauce! Figure friendly!

 
I have an abundance of tomatoes this year....well, really, I have an abundance of everything! I have the Wee Bear running to the food bank once a week with a large shopping bag full of vegetables from my garden. I even put a basket on the board walk of the river in front of our Idaho home full of free veggies. So, I decided to make my own tomato sauce, Catsup and from this recipe for Tomato sauce, I made my own Enchilada Sauce
 
Fresh home made is full of fresh flavor!

Supremes de Volaille Orloff (Chicken)



A French recipe learned in my 20+ years with Eva Kenly. This is easy to make and can be made completely ahead. It's chicken breasts with mushroom duxelles (sauteed mushrooms with Madeira) and a Gruyere sauce.....it is easy and delicious!

Strawberry Shortcake Roulade



A roulade is a lot easier to make than you think. Whether it's a meringue roulade or a sponge, they're a simple dessert that can be jazzed up with a tasty filling.

Crispy Garlic Pita toasts

  

 


What meal wouldn't  be a little happier with some crispy, crunchy, garlic-infused pita toasts? From a ho-hum lunch salad to a simple chicken dinner or a Charcuterie board , allow me to offer up this way to perk up your plate. As long as you have a few rounds of pita bread and a bottle of garlic powder and Italian seasoning, pita toasts are just minutes away.
