Mango Chutney
This mango chutney is a staple in our home. It’s fresh, fragrant and slightly sweet, exactly how I like it. An absolutely great addition to not only plain ole chicken, but meatballs, turkey and even pork benefit from a few drops of this yummy goodness. Now I don’t use a lot of sugar in my chutney. I know a lot of people like theirs really sweet, but I just don’t, it makes…
Kay’s Garlic Sauce
You’d think it’s easy for a garlic lover to come up with this, but it took me a long, long time to perfect my garlic sauce (hangs head in shame). But all was well again after I found this magic combo. I’ve been preparing it like this for several years now, so it’s definitely a tried and true recipe. The men in my life—all three of them—mutually agree this garlic sauce is the most incredible thing in…
Bacon & Parmesan Wedges
When drooling over photos at foodgawker a couple days ago (they must be sick of seeing my photos there: 22 of the 48 ‘most gawked in the last 7 days’ photos were mine. Crazy!) I was inspired by some of the potato photos I saw. It was 9am on a Monday morning when this recipe popped into my head. Not the best time ever. It hit me totally unexpected. Heck,…
Marinaded Entrecôte
Few things in life are better than a good entrecôte—provided it’s cooked properly, of course. You’d almost think it’s rocket science if you see the shoe-leather steaks some of our Dutch restaurants dare to serve us, but really, it’s not that hard to cook the perfect steak. I think Entrecôtes are called rib steaks, rib eye or prime rib in the US & Canada, aren’t they? Though I usually don’t care for raw meat…
Bacon, Onion & Mushroom Sauce
The weather has been great here. When it’s this sunny, you fire up the BBQ. You have to; it’s an unwritten rule. I’m not a food purist. Quite the opposite really; I like to ruin enhance every piece of meat, veal, poultry and even fish I sink my teeth into with sauces. Warm or cold sauces, sauces containing vegetables or a hint of cream, fresh or dried herbs, I…
Cajun Seasoning Mix
I like to make my own spice mixes. It’s not just fun, but at times it’s the only way for me to get my hands on spice blends that aren’t sold here; like my Old Bay Seasoning (copycat recipe). You can come up with the strangest combinations, adjust the amount of salt and add whatever flavor, spiciness or zing you like to ‘authentic’ mixes. No artificial colors or MSG whatsoever, which is a…
