Grilled Salmon in White Wine Cream Sauce

Grilled Salmon in White Wine Cream Sauce by Carla

This is a long overdue post. It is the follow-up to the Walker's Wood Shrimp we posted back in March. Sorry, April and May have been a bit painful for us. Along with two parents, we also lost my dads mother on May 17th. So everyone in our immediate family has been out of sorts a bit. Two of the men in my life have been devastated in…

Fathers Day for Michael

Fathers Day for Michael by Carla

Okay, I'll admit it! I spoil him, and yes I dote on him. Well, most of the time. Why you ask? Because he usually does the same with me. He almost always gives in to my every whim! Gotta love a man like that. So I made him a breakfast that he usually makes for me or at family and friends homes when we travel on vacations. This simple…

Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Soup, okay Japanese/Vietnamese combo

Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Soup, okay Japanese/Vietnamese combo by Carla

I have been craving a light soup/noodle bowl for a while now. Seeing that the heat of summer has come down upon us two-fold, I didn't want a heavy, creamy soup. I saw this recipe for Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Soup with Asian Greens in the April Cooking Light Magazine and knew I had to make it. I stuck a bookmarker in the page and then…

Shrimp in Green Sauce

Shrimp in Green Sauce by Carla

This was one of those recipes that you say to yourself, "Hmm, this just sounds way to simple", and it was. It turned out pretty enough, though it seemed to be missing something in the flavor profile. That and the fact that I tried cutting it down to serve two. My first mistake, way too much garlic. (Didn't think that was possible did…

Michael and Ina's Company Pot Roast

Michael and Ina's Company Pot Roast by Carla

I don't think I can say enough about this sauce for Ina Garten's Company Pot Roast. Which you can also find in her Back to Basics Cookbook on pages 117-119. On the front jacket she states "Fabulous Flavor From Simple Ingredients". Well let me tell you this was the most fabulous sauce ever. EVER! Just one thing, nothing about it is…

Lechon Asada aka Roast Pork

Lechon Asada aka Roast Pork by Carla

I guess it seems that we are on a Latin roll here and I would certainly have to agree with you. As I have said before, I especially, love my ethnic foods. This one received a grand review from Michael. I have made this many times before and I don't know why, this time he really enjoyed it. It must have been that in the past I have…

2 for 1...Italian Sausages and Peppers

2 for 1...Italian Sausages and Peppers by Carla

HisandHersWe agree to disagree. Ever have one of those nights? You want one thing for dinner and they want something else. We had agreed on the italian sausage, except he wanted subs and I wanted pasta. So I decided he was going to have pasta as a side. And that was that! Besides, I had purchased two of the more expensive jarred…

Pork Schnitzel and Vegetable Rice Pilaf

Pork Schnitzel and Vegetable Rice Pilaf by Carla

I know about the picture, it is not a very good one. My thoughts on the opening for this post had been varied. So I setttled on postponing writing it. This picture was taken as an afterthought. It was storming outside, even though all the window's in the house were opened it is still a pretty sorry picture. So, yes I know. We as of…
