Broiled Salmon

I mean, what more can I say?  You can almost taste it!  It's beautiful, tender, juicy - fresh herbs, spices (Dill, Rosemary, Paprika, Salt & Lemon Pepper) and Grannie's Garlic Butter, broiled in the oven on low for 10-20 minutes (just depending on the size).  It's that easy!  It's that good! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

Broiled Salmon With Lemon & Garlic Butter

Although, not shown so well in this image, I had also broiled the inside flesh of lemons.  Takes the flavor over the top!  Funny thing, I was so excited when I pulled my salmon out of the oven and showed my guests just how beautiful, I can't believe that I forgot to add all of that fresh dill I'd purchased, not just for flavor, but as important, for color and presentation.  Duh!

Anyway, truly, there is nothing more I need to say!  The flavor, the tenderness, juiciness will blow you away!

Roasted Veggie Pizza

All vegetables!  Even the crust - made of a cauliflower rice and unbelievably, I have never had a pizza with more flavor!  And keep in mind, I am a meat lover; I never touch a pizza that doesn't have extra pepperoni and at the very least, Italian sausage!  So, in order not to scare away my family, I took it slow, and still added the cheese.  So, this is a true feat for me! 

Cauliflower-Crusted Pizza with Roasted Vegetables

An avid fan of the Today Show, I was just thrilled to try this recipe!  Though, I cannot take credit for the recipe I got off their Food segment with Joy Bauer, but what I will take credit for are my layers of flavors, using my Signature House Blend (Rosemary, Thyme, Roasted Garlic, Hot Pepper Flakes, Salt & Grannie's Lemon Pepper), roasting all vegetables, including the cauliflower rice, my choice of vegetables (Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Onions, Garlic, etc.) and, of course, I had to add ... cheese!

Yes, I could have done a better job with the cauliflower rice, but Grannie's Vitamix was acting up!

Though, truly, I believe it was the fresh-made Pesto Sauce that did it, for me!  Do you see all that flavor and it's not even finished!  Before I added the cheese, I wanted you to see just how beautiful and delectable the vegetables - all roasted - and good eats, as is!  Oooooooom!  #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

NOTE:  Also, I think it important to mention that without the cheese, this pizza is all Veggie, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Low-Carb & No Added Sugar!

Okay, so here's how it looks after I added my three cheeses (Mozzeralla, Cheddar & Jack), to give it that truly pizza impact. 

Here's The Today Show Recipe, though, as usual, tweak it to your tastes - perhaps Tomato Sauce, rather than Pesto, your choice of vegetables (Eggplant, Zucchini, Squash, etc.)

OMG!  I dropped the mic on this one!  We were blown away!  Vegetarian or not, you must try this recipe!

Chicken Pop Pie

It is cold outside!  A time when we all crave to come home to a hot, uh, uh,  meal - something warm, hearty, comforting, ready and waiting!  [Okay, I'll stop!]  For me, it's Chicken Pop Pie, made from scratch, aka my way.  Yes, I call it "pop," because that's what I do to it!  Oh, with my scratch-made pie crust, bottom crust of stuffing [yup, you heard me], roasted chicken & vegetables ladled in Grannie's Bone Broth and my home-made, fresh cranberry sauce on the side, OMG! You hear me, it POPS!

Chicken Pop Pie with Roasted Vegetables

Honestly, though I've never had a chicken pot pie I didn't like, I tell you, there's nothing compared to making your own at home.  The aromas that fill the house!  On a frigid cold day, like it was yesterday, you can feel the warmth of Chicken Pop Pie rushing to greet you at your front door!   Ooooooom! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

Oh, it's a must to serve it with a side of Home-Made Cranberry Sauce

Though, Chicken Pop Pie is essentially thickened chicken soup, spooned into a pie shell and covered with a top crust, for me, oh, I must have a top AND bottom crust, some stuffing [Whaaat!  I hear you] Yup, stuffing is my bottom crust; but, what gives it that pop, I make my own cranberry sauce - from fresh cranberries!  My family just goes, Ooooooom!  And I tell you, I can never make enough!

Four steps make the difference in My Chicken Pop Pie - Homemade Crust, Roasted Chicken & Vegetables, Stuffing as Bottom Crust and a side of My Cranberry Sauce!  So, here's my recipe for my Chicken Pop Pie!

Home Fries

I think I can enjoy almost any version of HOME FRIES!  The key I believe is home, which to me, means, done your way.  While most of my life Home Fries were done on the stove top in a frying pan, I find that my favorite and I think my guests agree, there is just something so much more enriching in roasting vegetables in the oven; not to mention, easy, convenient. 

Roasted Home Fries

My Roasted Home Fries are just that - Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Bell Peppers, a little Sun-Dried Tomatoes, showered with Olive Oil, Seasoned with Herbs & Spices and roasted on about 450 degrees in the oven for 30 minutes. When it's done,  I also like to get it up under the broiler for a quick charring, sprinkle on some Paprika and Caper Berries and, well, the presentation speaks for itself! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

THICK CRUST PIE

This time of year just wakes up the inner-chef in us all!  No matter how much or how little you cook, often we have at least one recipe for a favorite dish, we are often asked to cook/bake and bring with us to the feast.  I have several favorites - Scratch-Made Buttermilk Biscuits, Lemon-Coconut Cake, Cornbread, Banana-Nut Bread, Blueberry Muffins, Belgian Waffles, Yeast Rolls, etc., and of course, and I can't believe I've never posted the recipe for one of my absolute favorites - Mariby Corpening's Apple & Sweet Potato Pies! 

And, of course, I began getting requests for My Double-Crusted Sweet Potato and Apple Pies for the holidays; so, now, I take orders!  Though, during the holidays, a reminder to contact me to order your pie(s) a season ahead! 

Double-Crusted Sweet Potato Pie

Recipe for My Apple & Sweet Potato Pies

OMG!  I am a breadoholic - a total crust person and I like it thick, too!  All that butter, the golden crispiness, the sweet and savory aromas, the flavorful filling; though, it has to be good, is almost secondary to the expected grandeur of the crust itself.  Of course, both the filling and crusts are made from scratch; but, here's my twist, not only do my sweet potato pies have a top and bottom crust, but almost as importantly, I roast the sweet potatoes with butter, sugar, cinnamon and a little bit of salt, rather than the standard of boiling - adds such richness in flavor - and with the double-crust, yup, it's just enough crust in every bite!  Riiiiiiight! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

You should know that it took me awhile to develop this recipe and I am still trying new ideas.  I've not shared this recipe before, so please let me know your thoughts - and especially if, on my blog, I may have missed a step!
