(Enchaud Perigordine) French-Style Pot-Roasted Pork Loin

(Enchaud Perigordine) French-Style Pot-Roasted Pork Loin by Foodiewife

There are several things about this recipe that I really like. For one, it looks fancy but it isn't. In France, this dish is called Enchaud Perigordine (and I doubt I can pronounce it right). Cook's Illustrated has made an American version, because our pork is leaner. I was surprised at how easy it was to butterfly the pork loin…

Creamy Asparagus Soup from Cook's Country

Creamy Asparagus Soup from Cook's Country by Foodiewife

Yeah, sure. There are lots of recipes for Cream of Asparagus Soups. This one is my all time version, so far. This appears in the April 2010 issue of Cook's Country. There are two ingredients, that surprised me. One, gives the soup a vibrant green color, and the other "secret" ingredients balances out the flavor of asparagus. I made…

Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies

Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies by Foodiewife

I have no idea who Aunt Esther is/was, but I'd sure like to thank her for this recipe. The first time I tasted these, I asked my friend if they'd share the recipe-- and they did! I've made many delicious sugar cookie recipes, but this one is now ranked #1 favorite cookie of all time-- by my family and friends. When cooked, they are…

California Santa Maria Style Barbeque Tri-Tip

California Santa Maria Style Barbeque Tri-Tip by Foodiewife

We live about 3 hours north of Santa Maria, California. One day, we saw a BBQ trailer that was selling a tri-tip dinner plate, so we stopped to enjoy a roadside lunch. It was the tastiest tri-tip we've ever had! I found this recipe in Cook's Country Magazine, and it is our favorite way to enjoy tri-tip. I also made the Santa Maria…

Strawberry Cream Cake

Strawberry Cream Cake by Foodiewife

I found this recipe in America's Test Kitchen cookbook (sister company to Cook's Illustrated). The cake is moist and just dense enough to keep the strawberry filling from turning the whole thing into a soggy mess! The whipped cream is combined with cream cheese, which yields a cream and sturdy frosting. This cake disappeared really…

Amazing Grilled Steakhouse Steak Tips

Amazing Grilled Steakhouse Steak Tips by Foodiewife

Have you ever heard of steak tips before? Well, neither had I,until I spotted this recipe on Cook's Country. Typically, steak tips come from the bottom sirloin, and that is where flap meat comes from. Bottom line, this is one of the best (truly) grilled steak recipes I've ever made or tasted! The marinade is packed full of flavor,…

Pressure Cooker Baby Back Ribs

Pressure Cooker Baby Back Ribs by Foodiewife

Seriously. Tender, falling off-the-bone ribs in 15 minutes, when you use a pressure cooker -- plus an extra ten minutes to make the most delicious "scratch" BBQ sauce you've ever tasted. Yes, it's true. I did it in my pressure cooker. BUT, you can adapt this to a slow cooker, only it will take you 6-8 hours to achieve what I did in 15…

Homemade Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper

Homemade Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper by Foodiewife

There are a few things I love about this recipe: It's is how easy it is to make, without fancy ingredients. It's a one-pan dinner (makes for less cleanup) and-- it's comforting and delicious. The big bonus...you made it yourself without any scary ingredients from a box! This tastes even better the next day, and makes a perfect…
