If you like to cook, travel, BBQ, philosophize, or seriously lay around, then stop by and visit awhile.
Bev saw this Italian Beef Eye Of Round Roast the other day at Food City and she decided we should give it a try.
I can’t remember where I got this recipe (Perhaps from Facebook) but I wanted to try it as a way to use our Royal Red Shrimp and easily serve our Friday card group. I followed the ingredients list but I changed the cooking method quite a bit to keep the steak from over cooking. The original called for cutting it into bite sized pieces prior to browning it but I browned it first and kept it very rare.
I’ve posted about this before, but I’m doing it again to document my process for future use. I bought a CAB tri tip from Food City and as usual it had a big fat cap hidden on the bottom side – I know better than to buy roasts from them.
Easy Fish Piccata
I had some Pacific Cod filets in the freezer and decided to
turn them into a Piccata dish using the recipe for
It’s been a while since we’ve had spaghetti and meatballs and when Eliza brought her family down it seemed like a good opportunity. We had some homemade meatballs in the freezer but no Italian sausage so I used TPO (tomato, pepper, onion) from the Wurst Kitchen. The menu included bread with EVOO & balsamic vinegar, then panzanella, then pasta and finally dessert.
I wasn’t trying to keep making Italian but just thought this dish looked delicious and would be perfect for our Friday get together. The recipe for Easy Chicken Milanese alla Florentine came from the “Ask Chef Dennis” blog and I made several changes to it but the original can be found by clicking on the above link. Chef Dennis Littley’s comment on the dish – “Chicken MIlanese alla Florentine is a delicious restaurant style dish that is made with a crispy chicken cutlet topped with steamed spinach and sauteed mushrooms, topped with Swiss cheese and served with a creamy white sauce. It's easy to make and oh so delicious.”
I had some halibut in the freezer that I wanted to use and after searching my blog, I found a recipe that we had made previously but I didn’t have the sauce ingredients so I adapted my normal lemon, butter sauce for this dish.
