Hawaiian Pineapple Banana BreadI just had to post this as it is the best Banana Bread I have ever had. It was gifted to me by my mom. I love banana bread, however I hadn't made any in a very long time finding that plain old banana bread gets to be boring. Just add in some crushed pineapple and chopped macadamia nuts and problem solved. We can't seem to get enough… |

Pork TingaThis pork tinga was a first for us. I had heard the term before though had never tried it. Rick says " In colonial Puebla, on the other side of the volcanos from mile high Mexico City, tinga is offered as a stew in restaurants, a filling for tortas (Mexican hoagies) in snack shops, and a stuffing for masa turnovers (quesadillas) from… |

Deep Dish Chicken Pot Pie and It's Not Mama'sThis one is just as good as this one posted here from quite a while back. (Back when all of my pictures had a yellow, red, or green hue to them. So sad.) Anyhow, I do like to use puff pastry as the top of my pot pies, though I'm not fond of the double or bottom crust. Just seems like too much to me. Yes I do love pot pies, I have made… |

Oven Roasted Smokey Beef BrisketThis was Michael's request for his birthday this year. He can't seem to get enough of it lately. As you may remember if you've followed our blog, this has been his long time favorite. However once I had made this, long before his bithday, he said "This is what I'm requesting for my birthday this year, I think I've had enough Chicken… |

Carla's Roasted Chicken SandwichThis has become one of my favorite lunches ever. I saw this Grilled Chicken and Avocado Napoleons on a Giada at Home re-run and I knew I had to make it. I thought even though I didn't have any puff pastry thawed out, I could do this sandwich one better. Besides I thought that three sheets of the puff pastry was a bit too much "bread"… |

Meatballs and PeasSo they say fall has officially started. Ha! Today it is a balmy 86 degrees outside. Though they say by Saturday we will dip into the low 70's. Sure wish it would stay there, though I'm thinking we're not quite finished with the hot and humid higher 80's here. I myself am through with the heat. Although, I'm not quite ready for coats… |

Perfect Eye of Round RoastI have tried many times over many years using many, many different methods for cooking an eye roast. It had always turned out way over-cooked and tough as shoe leather. Not that I've ever taken a bite out of my shoes to compare, just an old expression. I finally found the ideal way to cook this roast so that it is medium rare and… |

My Cheesiest Mac and CheeseI'll admit it. I'm a cheese head. No, not the football team kind! I love all cheeses, expensive imported and mediocre domestic, (although we don't have very many specialty or imported good cheeses in the stores where we live here in N.C). Yes, I even like that yellow box (in the picture below) that most everyone has had in their house… |
