Beef stroganoff over buttered noodles by Rachael Monaco

I've become addicted to The Food Network's newest entry, The Cooking Channel. The best part of The Cooking Channel is they rerun old episodes of Food Network shows. This happened one day last week, and I happened to catch Food 911: Tastes of Russia. I felt inspired to make the beef stroganoff over buttered noodles and roasted beet &…

Asian Seafood and Noodle Soup by John Spottiswood

We had this dish at a seaside restaurant in Campbell River, BC called Quay West. It was beautiful and delicious. The broth reminded me of the tasty soba dishes I had when I lived in Japan. So I made a version of this while in San Luis Obispo. The sauce is tremendous and I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. It will provide some nice…

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers by Marci Clark

This is not the healthiest chicken because it is obviously fried. But, it is delicious! Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfection! Every recipe I found for buttermilk chicken used bone-in chicken. I'm not a huge fan, so I decided to try making one with boneless chicken. I like to use coconut oil because it…

Smoked Lasagna Roll Ups by Patti Fisher

We wanted a hearty stick to your ribs dinner. Having our good friends Jim & Debbie over and they wanted a dinner with some of Ken’s smoked cheese. We’ve all enjoyed it as snacks on crackers and cheese sauce, but they wanted to try some of our cooking magic as an entrée. Patti thought her lasagna would put the cheeses to a delicious…

One Dish Seafood Stew by Adam Janowski

I’ve had Cioppino, which is the Italian version, and Bouillabaisse, which is the French version and below you will find my version of a seafood stew. I can’t drink alcohol so you will not find any white wine in mine, though you will find it in most Italian and French versions. It is up to you, but I think my recipe works really well…

Paella by Julie Reihl

Paella is a classic Spanish dish that can feed an army and is perfect for a dinner party! One key ingredient is saffron which gives the paella a beautiful yellow color and its distinctive flavor. More traditional recipes include a can of diced tomatoes and a bag of frozen peas thawed. I chose not to add them, but feel free to do so.…

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This Italian classic is simply steak topped with a quick cooking, zesty, pizza-like sauce. Sometimes it’s topped with cheese. I’m using very lean top sirloin but if you’d prefer to use flank steak or skirt steak, just reduce the cooking time a bit. Doesn’t matter how you cook your filet, the sauce absolutely makes this dish. The…

Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin by Robyn Savoie

This is an award-winning recipe and a hot menu item (literally). This dish requires a bit of extra work, but with pre-packaged ingredients it goes smoothly. Serve with a tossed green salad and for dessert, Fruit Compote over pound cake.
