Deviled Eggs...An Eggscellent Choice for Easter

Deviled Eggs...An Eggscellent Choice for Easter by Carla

I know this is almost ridiculous to post about Deviled Eggs, except that I love the Holidays just so I have an excuse to eat them. I was chatting on the phone the other day with my mom and she was in the middle of making some of these. She keeps them in the fridge pretty much all the time to snack on here and there through out the…

Seared Ahi Tuna - A Hop's Restaurant Favorite by Carla

Walker's Wood Shrimp, Jamaican Brewmaster Chicken or Steak, Pork Chops Marsala, Thai Chicken Salad and this Seared Ahi Tuna are but a few of our favorites. Check out Hop's Menu's and Hops Online for more information and inspiration.When…

Jamaican Brewmaster Steaks...and Another Hop's Favorite

Jamaican Brewmaster Steaks...and Another Hop's Favorite by Carla

I have professed our (my) love of certain restaurant favorites that we can no longer indulge in because a) they've either closed up shop, or b) they are not found here in the Carolina's. So we are reliving them through Michael's recreations.Last week I had the good fortune of Michael making 3 of my favorites from Hop's Restaurant ,…

Walker's Wood Shrimp...more from my Hop's Favorites

Walker's Wood Shrimp...more from my Hop's Favorites by Carla

This will be my final post on my Hop's Restaurant favorites. Looking over them, it really is too difficult to pick a favorite out of the three. Michael did some searching and found the secret spice blend for Walker's Wood Spice Mix , which has been conveniently left out of the previously posted recipes for Walker's Wood Shrimp like…

Jacket Potatoes with Bacon, Mushroom and Peppercorn Sauce

Jacket Potatoes with Bacon, Mushroom and Peppercorn Sauce by Carla

I have to start out by telling you that even though we seem to eat a varied diet, we are set in our old stand bys in some areas. Notice the steamed broccoli in many of our pictures? Mike is set on his few choices of vegetables that he will eat. Most definately no brussels sprouts or okra, ever! Only sometimes (once in a blue moon, and…

Breakfast Phyllo Cups and Jury Duty, AAGGHH

Breakfast Phyllo Cups and Jury Duty, AAGGHH by Carla

Well, in waking up this morning remembering the fact that I had been summoned for jury duty for this Monday, I figured I was not going to have enough time to cook our usual breakfast. Which for us usually consists of eggs over easy on toast with bacon or sausages. So lately I have been seeing alot of phyllo cup recipes on the cooking…

Homemade Pizza...From the Bottom Up

Homemade Pizza...From the Bottom Up by Carla

Okay, so we were in the mood for pizza. A really good pizza. In this city we do not have a "GOOD" Pizza Restaurant. Nope, we haven't found one yet. Sooo, Michael decided he was going to make one. Yes, from scratch. Hey there's a first time for everything. He's done fettuccine from scratch, but never pizza. Can I just tell you it was…

Tried and True Chicken Saltimbocca

Tried and True Chicken Saltimbocca by Carla

This was the first time trying Chicken Saltimbocca for us and it is going to be a true favorite from now on. Staying true to the recipe we did use the frozen version as recommended by this recipe for Giada DiLaurentiis' Chicken Saltimbocca , and we have to agree with the ratings (400+) for this recipe, that the next time it would be…

Baby, It's STILL Cold Outside...Three Pepper Chili

Baby, It's STILL Cold Outside...Three Pepper Chili by Carla

I think I have finally figured out the reason my husband only makes us chili once a year! That is because he makes it by the gallons. We end up freezing enough for the next six months. Believe me when I say we have it as all kinds of meal preparations for months, on rice, on pasta, on a bun as a sort of a sloppy chili jose, and one of…

Hoisin Glazed Salmon

Hoisin Glazed Salmon by Carla

This is such a quick, easy, and delicious glaze. I combined together several of the ingredients found in many different recipes. Some of the recipes left out one or more of the ingredients. So flavorful is this glaze that I will be using this on other fish such as halibut and even on shrimp.Glazy, crispy, umami…
