Maple Mustard Crown Roast of Pork by Patti Fisher

We wanted to do something different and extra special for one of our Holiday dinners. Patti loved the idea of a crown roast of pork; Ken loved the frilly gold crowns on the frenched pork bones. We’ve mentioned many times the lovely folks we meet at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. Well, a delightful family named Allee including their…

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie by Salad Foodie

A chocolate lover’s delight and so easy for Easter or Mother’s Day dessert. Rich and smooth, this take on French chocolate silk pie has a secret - tofu replaces heavy cream! But no one will know the difference - unless you tell! I tried this out on my unsuspecting son who avoids tofu-anything. He sampled it, then scarfed the whole…

Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback Potatoes by Patti Fisher

We love these sliced, baked potatoes with cheese and bacon. We bake the potatoes and cool them ahead of time so they’re easy to quickly prepare. These are fancy enough for special dinners and convenient enough to mostly prepare the night before. They’re a different and delicious version of a twice baked potato. You can use any flavor…

Venison barbacoa

Venison barbacoa by GARY ESTESS

This is very easy, cooking with venison in a slow cooker makes the meat taste tender and juice. Some hunters bone out the neck. This part of the deer gets very big when in rut.

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations.

The Cajun Burger

The Cajun Burger by Patti Fisher

Patti had a hankering for Jambalaya, but Ken had to have a bacon cheese burger. So, we compromised and made a burger with our favorite Chef of the Future Cajun Seasoning on a bacon cheeseburger topped with extra large shrimp. It came out great, especially adding our bacon square. Our first ingredient in our cooking is imagination, but…
