Bread Crumb Topped Cod with Scalloped Potatoes

Bread Crumb Topped Cod with Scalloped Potatoes by Carla

I have found my new flaky (yes, I looked it up) love. No, Michael isn't in jeopardy of loosing out at the top spot. I mean fish. I love flaky white meat fish. I have come to the conclusion that I don't like alot of types of fish. Cod is fairly new to us. It has now become one of my favorite flaky white fish, the first is Halibut. Oh,…

Pasta e Ceci-Warmth for a Cold Winter

Pasta e Ceci-Warmth for a Cold Winter by Carla

This is all I,I,I,-ME,ME,ME as Michael is not a fan of beans, nor is he much of a soup fan. I, on the other hand am a fan of both. I have an entire shelf in our freezer in the garage dedicated to a soup stash for the winter. It is now half filled and I still have more I want to make and blog. Coming up in the near future I will be…

Bennigan's Potato Soup - My Most Favorite

Bennigan's Potato Soup - My Most Favorite by Carla

Can I tell you something? This is soup that will make you want to lick the bowl. Go ahead, no one's looking. I am not going to lie to you, I have. It is that good. I first fell in love with it when we lived about two blocks away from a Bennigan's Restaraunt in Clearwater, Florida. Every time we went there this was the first thing I…

Chicken Larb

Chicken Larb by Carla

Finally a new chef is picked out over at IHCC . Don't get me wrong, I liked cooking with Mark Bittman, though Giada De Laurentiis is one of my favorite TV chefs. I know for many of you, not so much. Too much cleavage and too much over-emphasis on the italian enunciation of the ingredients. However I think she is a pretty classy lady.…

Mediterranean Chicken and Pasta with Love

Mediterranean Chicken and Pasta with Love by Carla

I've told you before about how Michael cooks from the cuff. This is one of those dishes were he went into the kitchen and cooked from a pick and choose method, with what we had left in the kitchen. We were trying to avoid doing any grocery shopping for the week (before last), as we knew we would be going out of town for 4 days. This…

Michael's Spin on Emeril's Jalapeno Poppers

Michael's Spin on Emeril's Jalapeno Poppers by Carla

We have quite a few jalapeno plants. Michael is most proud of these. The one at the bottom is the original plant that he started last summer and he has several "babies" that he started from the seeds this summer, which have blooms all over them now. Michael got it in his head to make poppers, since we had such an abundance of…
