Heading out of town with three tomatoes kicking around the house? Me too! It was the perfect excuse to try Ina’s broiled tomatoes which were as easy as they were delicious. Definitely give this one a try with summer’s favorite veggie/fruit. Pictured here on a bed of leftover couscous, because…travel and fridge cleanout. Ina’s Broiled…

Social Media’s Pineapple Ribs
Maybe you’ve seen that video going around IG and Tik Tok of ribs wrapped around a pineapple. I had seen the video so many times that I had to try for myself. While there wasn’t originally a recipe (at least not that I found) I sort of made up my own and they were INCREDIBLE….
Puglia Peach Side Dish
Renting a house in Puglia was one of the best vacations we’ve done. Having no oven and only a bbq was a fun challenge of planning side dishes and one of the standouts was this refreshing dish of grilled peaches, fresh tomatoes plated on a bed of creamy Stracciatella and drizzled with hot honey. Topped…
Balsamic Chicken Salad
Accidentally, trying to use up what was kicking around the fridge, I stumbled on the nicest marinade and salad combo that insisted on being saved for later use. She ain’t pretty, but she was delish! Balsamic Chicken Salad For the chicken: For the salad: For the Chicken Topper:
Croque Madame
Cleaning out the fridge ahead of a recent trip made me realize that I had all of the ingredients for a Croque Madame. Despite never making or ordering one before, I was drawn to this hearty bistro fare. The recipe from Fifteen Spatulas served as a guide for this new creation that will definitely become…
Mediterranean Pistachio Crunch Salad
Modified from the “Jennifer Aniston” salad, this has to be one of those meals I could eat nearly every single day. While it doesn’t need anything additional, it also works well with a protein hat. The protein hat, shredded rotochick, and pistachios for a nice crunch. Mediterranean Pistachio Crunch Salad For the dressing: For the…
Two Ingredient Lemon Sorbet
So the photo depicts a mash-up of what’s been in the fridge and is now deemed “parfait ready.” There was a lemon olive oil cake that fell in the middle, some gorgeous berries, a bit of squirty cream…and the new STAR of the show, two ingredient lemon sorbet. Don’t forget to save your lemon vessels;…
Ina’s Ham & Leek Empanadas
Following the advice of Store Bought is Fine, I had to try Ina’s Ham and Leek Empanadas as a weekend alternative to her always delicious Savory Brekky Pastries. Un-Ina related, but he also suggested a ‘aji Amarillo’ sauce, that I adapted a bit because Switzerland and Latin ingredients don’t seem to mix. The results of…
Blue Cheese Dressing
Take your leftover valentine’s day dinner parts, chuck them in a bowl, and drizzle liberally with this blue cheese dressing for a next day treat. Blue Cheese Dressing
Smashing Ina’s Baked Potatoes
It’s that time of year in Switzerland where you’re either not working because you’re skiing or not working because you’re laid up with a broken leg. Either way, all recipes seem to involve an endless rotation of potatoes and cheese. For Valentine’s Day this year I wanted to see what Ina had to say about…
No Knead Honey Oat Bread
I’m hitting the pandemic trends so late that I guess they are essentially new ones. No sourdough starters here, just an easy, breezy boule that keeps well for four to five days after you’ve enjoyed Honey, oaty, crunchy, chewy goodness. That’s my drag name. No Knead Honey Oat Bread
Savory Dutch Brunch Baby
While the title of this recipe sounds highly cannibalistic, I assure you that it nothing but savory brunch goodness. I’ve seen these massive pancake recipes over the years, but haven’t managed to try my hand at one until now. Huge mistake. Should have whisked this up years ago! It satisfies a slightly carby, indulgent craving…
