Peppercorn Crusted Filet with Gorgonzola
Tomato Beef Soup
On a cold, windy January day, nothing beats a nice hot bowl of soup. Right?
Last week, I made a big batch of shredded beef in my slow cooker. After having the leftovers a few times, I knew I needed to re-purpose the leftovers and come up with something new. It’s been pretty cold here (and pretty [...]
Shredded Beef Tacos
Rachael Ray is always talking about her “Make Your Own Takeout” dishes… Well, this is another “Make Your Own Chipotle” dish. I rarely order Chinese or get takeout… I do, however, enjoy eating at Chipotle Mexican Grill.
You may remember my last attempt at “Make Your Own Chipotle” – my fajita burritos. This time, I am taking a [...]

Mexican Cabbage Rolls

Black and Boursin Burgers
One of my favorite things about going on vacation is eating in new places. We had some rainy weather while we were in Cape Cod last week, so we decided to spend some time perusing the shops at Mashpee Commons. All of that shopping worked up an appetite, so we had lunch at Bobby Byrne’s Restaurant and [...]
Quick and Easy Taco Dip
If you’re looking for a quick and easy appetizer or side dish, give this taco dip a try. This weekend, I was looking for a quick and easy side dish to go with some corn quesadillas (more details soon), so I whipped up this dish. It was inspired somewhat by the buffalo chicken dip that I frequently [...]
