Stacked Vegetarian Antipasto Recipe

August 9, 2011 by Robin Gagnon 4 Comments

Stacked Vegetarian Antipasto Recipe

This time of year vegetables are plentiful.  It is the best time to add a few new vegetarian dishes to your repertoire.   I typically make my vegetarian antipasto on the grill and just heap everything on a big platter.  Today was a little cooler with off & on rain, so I decided to roast the […]

Spicy Calamari, Shrimp and Garbanzo Beans Recipe

I picked up some calamari this weekend, and wanted to make something a little different.  I’ve never paired squid with garbanzo beans (chick peas) before, it seemed high time to do so. Spicy  Calamari, Shrimp and Garbanzo Beans Recipe Ingredients: 2-3 calamari (squid) tubes 6-8 large shrimp 1 cup canned garbanzo beans 1/3 cup diced […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Drumsticks Recipe: Easy No-Bake Dessert Pops

I came up with this easy chocolate peanut butter and pretzel recipe, after munching on a handful of chocolate chips & lightly salted peanuts.  Pretzels seemed like a logical addition to make them into drumstick pops, and the thought of an edible stick seemed to make sense to me. Great no-bake dessert to make with […]

Pretty Awful Cake

Pretty Awful Cake

We are planning to redo our bedroom soon.  Yesterday, as I was contemplating bedroom furniture placement, I caught myself figuring in how items would photograph in various spots, since I will be blogging about the transformation on my primary blog.   These placements would not be practical, just look pretty.   This reminded me of a […]

Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry Recipe with Peanuts and Broccoli

Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry Recipe with Peanuts and Broccoli

A very easy pineapple chicken stir fry recipe.  The trick to the pineapple  sauce is the use of pineapple preserves.  The preserves not only omit the need for other sweeteners, but as the sauce reduces helps to thicken it into a  glaze, which nicely coats the chicken and broccoli.  To further enhance the gentle sweetness […]

Mushroom Barley Recipe | Mushroom Barley Side Dish or Vegetarian Meal

Mushroom Barley Recipe | Mushroom Barley Side Dish or Vegetarian Meal

Barley is an earthy nutty grain, which pairs well with mushrooms.  While most Americans are accustomed to eating barley in soups, it is rarely served as a dish in itself.  I admit I don’t cook it all that often, but it does make for a nice change from the typical grains served at dinner.  This […]

I am Making some Changes for this Year

I am Making some Changes for this Year

I have sort of hidden from this blog, for the past few weeks.  You see, I started a four letter word on New Year’s Day… D.I.E.T.  For one accustomed to adding those lovely pats of butter to sautes, and covering things with scrumptious gooey cheese and washing it down with a nice glass of Zinfandel, […]

Chocolate-Peanut Cardamom Oatmeal Cookies: Recipe

Chocolate-Peanut Cardamom Oatmeal Cookies: Recipe

I concocted this recipe earlier this week, and I think this is my new favorite cookie.  I was looking to create a cookie slightly sweet, a little salty, with interesting texture, not the typical chewy or crunchy cookie.  I guess the goal was half way between a cookie & a crunchy granola bar.  I was […]

Vodca Exclusiv: This Budget Priced Vodka can Play with the Big Boys

Vodca Exclusiv: This Budget Priced Vodka can Play with the Big Boys

I had the opportunity to try Vodca Exclusiv  recently, and I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of this reasonably priced spirit.  Vodkas in this price range often have a harsh flavor, unpleasant after taste, or lack any flavorful notes of merit, making then unfit, for anything other than mixers which mask their taste.  […]

I Could Really Use a Kitchen Redesign

I Could Really Use a Kitchen Redesign

My kitchen is pretty much a logistical nightmare.  Our home was built in the 1890’s, and has a pantry/scullery rather than cabinets throughout the space.  While the vintage sink and a few other features are quaint, I long for a fully renovated kitchen, with ample cabinet space and a large island with counter height stools. […]
