Beef Stroganoff made in a pressure cooker is my favorite way to make this great dish! The pressure cooker gives the most tender meat and delicious flavor! To me, it is better than Beef Stroganoff in a Slow Cooker or on top of the top the stove. It cooks in 8 minutes, it is so fast! My pressure cooker happens to be a top of…
From Allrecipes….I tried!… We liked!… I recommend! I adapted these just a bit and they are really delish! My husband Bill raved about them! These Zucchini Patties, or you can call them Zucchini Fritters, make a great side dish, appetizer, or a little snack! You can substitute the red peppers for any other vegetable you like or use just the zucchini. …
Annie, my dear sister, was superb cook who aimed to please! Whenever I visited her in Rhode Island, she knew this dish was my first answer to her question, “What do you want me to make for you?” While preparing it, she’d turn around from the pot with a smile and say, “Okay, I just added my secret ingredient!” It took me several visits to…
I LOVE this delicious green bean recipe my daughter Amy came up with! And so does everyone! Even the ones who don’t normally eat green beans! The crisp beans are so tasty with the butter and breadcrumbs and it couldn’t be any easier to prepare. It comes together SO QUICKLY!!! It’s about 5 minutes from start to finish! She knows I expect this at…
One of my very favorite ways to have chicken is stewed in tomatoes! It is so simple and so amazingly delicious! No vegetables are in it except tomatoes, so it does not taste like a cacciatore. But stewing the chicken in tomatoes gives it a whole new tender texture and great taste throughout the meat! This is one of my old-world recipes I just love! My great-aunt…
“A classic New England Lobster Roll is to die for, really, it is very special! A famous upscale chain store advertised something new on their menu… a New England lobster roll, for mega bucks too. Well, it looked so tempting and I was in the mood for it… but yuck, I said, this is not a New England Lobster roll! I couldn’t even finish it….
Basmati rice sautéed with tiny bits of veggies is a side dish I serve that a lot of people love. It is easy to make! Because of all the added veggies and so little oil, it does not give you that heavy feeling that happens when you eat other rice dishes. The secret to this dish is to mince the vegetables the same size as…
There are so many versions of stuffed peppers! Some people put in ground meats of all kinds. Ground turkey is great and reduces the calories too. Ground beef or sausage is delicious to use! Some like tomato sauce, or fresh tomatoes inside the stuffing or on top, or salsa. Everyone has a favorite way to make them! Only ketchup, Basmati rice, onion, salt and pepper…
This Colcannon has cabbage, potatoes, leeks, and kale. There are many variations for this great Irish dish! I like to make it for St. Patrick’s Day, but it is great for any day! I love it as a side dish with lamb. I think the leeks make it so-o good! NOTE: You can also make it a complete one-dish meal with chunks of…
Forget using chicken stock with seafood bisques or soups! Use FISH STOCK! Boil the shrimp and lobster together and use that liquid for your bisque. It definitely makes a world of a difference in my opinion! And this bisque is not hard to make at all! You can use this with any fish or combination of fish you like, as long as one of your…
Clear broth Clam Chowder is Rhode Island style clam chowder, and it’s my favorite!! If I have a choice of the Manhattan or the New England or the Rhode Island, this is my favorite! There is a great restaurant I know that mixes both the Manhattan and the New England. The friendly owner never fails to come around and greet everyone at the tables. One…
I will choose a FRITTATA over an omelet or a quiche any day! They are easy to make, you just have to master the technique of sliding and turning them over. The end result looks pretty impressive in a serving dish! I think if you put potatoes in a frittata and you are guaranteed superb results! This is a favorite potato frittata of mine, simple and delicious and it pleases even…
Classic American Chop Suey is a mixture of pasta and ground beef with onions and green peppers. My version is VERY EASY to make! It is like a pasta e fagioli with pork and beans and ground beef . NO onions or green peppers! Only 4 INGREDIENTS are in it: ground beef, elbow pasta, tomato sauce, and a can of pork and beans,…
An oldie-but goodie recipe for STEAK WITH WINE that is so delicious and EASY and FAST to make! It is under 10 MINUTES from start to finish! How can this be so tasty with so few ingredients? Is it the wine? The butter? I think it is because the steak is so thin that the wine and herbs really soak into every fiber…
A quick and simple New England version of the English shepherd’s pie I grew up with. It has no added spices, just salt and pepper and Gravy Master, simple but real good! A layer of vegetables on the bottom makes this a one dish meal. I change it up sometimes substituting ground turkey or ground lamb, … really delicious! This one in the picture has…
