I love cooking a whole roasted chicken. It makes me feel very Martha Stewart. This baby was on sale for $3.66. We had dinner, then I made chicken salad with the leftovers and the bones are in a ziplock in the freezer, waiting to be made into stock this weekend. You can’t beat that!

There is nothing like a ripe warm summer tomato in New England. They are delicious just on their own with a little salt but I do also love to make the classic Italian Caprese Salad. You know how you hear everyone talking about “Farm to Table” and “only the freshest ingredients” etc. Continue reading Caprese Salad
This is a super quick, easy delicious grilled chicken recipe. Would also be great on pork tenderloin. Warning: The chicken grilled is not that spicy but the reduced marinade sauce is super spicy, so use sparingly! My boys will just eat the chicken by itself and I (of course!) will add extra sauce 🙂 Continue reading Sambal Grilled Chicken
Yesterday was Sunday and I had free time and made Chicken with Zucchini Spaghetti for Bill and I for lunch. I told him I didn’t know what I was making for dinner, but wanted to “make something really good”. He said well after this great lunch the bar is set high 🙂 I took out on my walk and was trying to think of what to make and had absolutely no idea. Does that ever happen to you? I was stuck. I called him and said ok, chicken, pork or steak? Continue reading Brandied Peach Pork Chops
I love this time of year when the Farm stands are brimming with wonderful fresh vegetables. One of my favorites to grab is zucchini. It’s cheap, it’s good and there are so many ways to prepare it. If you are like a lot of people you may have a “go to” recipe for it and that’s about it. This post has my favorite zucchini recipes all in one place, so you can get a little crazy and try something new!
The photo above is my current favorite recipe, Zucchini “Spaghetti” with Tomato Sauce.
This is also a very delicious, healthy zucchini dish, Zucchini Gratin.
My current favorite lunch recipe, Zucchini Succotash with Chicken & Pesto.
Of course there has to be a pasta dish, Orrechiette with Zucchini & Sausage.
OMG, this is my new favorite way to eat zucchini, it’s sooooooooooooo good and good for you too! Slice the zucchini the long way as thin as you can get it. Saute with onions and garlic, add tomato sauce and parmesan, I can’t explain how good this is, you need to make it tonight!
Continue reading Zucchini “Spaghetti” with Tomato Sauce
This simple marinade is great with chicken but also works really well with fish & pork. I like to make a big batch of this chicken and then use leftovers to add to a salad or to make a chicken pita. Continue reading Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken
A different twist on “Potato Salad” for your next cookout. Warm Bacon dressing mixed with roasted smashed potatoes, yum!! Continue reading Smashed Potato Salad
Nothing quite says summer like Tomato Bruschetta. Tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and basil come together in a delicious snack. This is great as an appetizer or as a side dish with grilled meats. The trick is to make sure you marinate it for at least an hour, so that the tomatoes can be infused with all the herbs. Enjoy! Continue reading Tomato Bruschetta
