Italian Sausage Surprise and Life From Scratch

We are T minus 3 weeks away until everyone arrives for graduation weekend.  Each day brings us closer to the upcoming fun moments of family, friends, and memories to be had.  Each day is also bringing us to check off things from our "to do" list, and then I find myself finding new items that need to be added and handled before our final date.

Needless to say, my family has somewhat suffered and I haven't been trying out as many new recipes as I would like.  My focus has been planning "the weekend" and finishing up "art/gift/decor" projects for their party.

In the middle of all this though, I did set aside some time and just recently finished reading "Life From Scratch" by Sasha Martin.  What a phenomenal book! I couldn't put it down.  Not only are there some amazing recipes (stay tuned for seeing posts on those in the near future), but I really related to Sasha.  There are some points in her life that I felt intersected with mine and I completely understood where she was coming from.  

The one paragraph that really hit home with me was near the end of the book.  She was cooking for a large group of family for her mom's surprise birthday party dinner. Sasha is having a conversation with her husband as they're going to sleep....

"You seem really tense, Sash.  Are you OK?"

"What do you mean?"

"All day you tried to control everything.  I think you're making everyone nervous."

I roll over without responding.  He thinks I'm pouting, that I'm mad at him, 

but what I'm really thinking is: 

I know.  That's exactly what I'm doing. And I don't know how to stop.

Ouch!  It was like looking in a mirror as I read that.  That is the last thing I ever want to happen is to make everyone nervous, and yet I know I have been guilty of it, by my own admission.  I must stop trying to control everything!

Well, unfortunately, I had already started my lists and lists of recipes, menus, grocery items, decor ideas and photos before I read the book.  I have to type them, because my hand won't write as fast as my brain is going to keep up.  (don't judge)  Oh well, there's always tomorrow to start my new ways.

This dish "Italian Sausage Surprise" (because I have no other idea what to call it), came about on accident as I was trying to whip up a quick meal during the week.  What started out as supposed to be slow cooker sausage and peppers turned into something so much better!

Italian Sausage Surprise

5 hot Italian sausage links
1 red pepper, sliced thin
1 yellow pepper, sliced thin
1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
1 clove garlic, crushed
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups prepared Marinara sauce (your favorite jarred brand)

In a large skillet, preheat over medium-high heat with a little olive oil.  When skillet is hot, add the sausage links and sear until brown on each side.  Remove from pan and set aside.

In same pan, add a little more olive oil and a tablespoon of butter, over medium heat.  Add the garlic and onions.  Saute until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant.  Add the red and yellow peppers and saute until just getting soft.  Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for one minute.

Add the sausages back into the skillet with the veggies and pour the marinara sauce all over everything.  Stir well to make sure everything is coated.  Cover, lower heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

** While the dish was simmering, I "sauted" up some four cheese mini Pierogis with butter, because they make me happy and the creaminess of the Pierogi filling was so good with the finished sauce all over them. This also paired beautifully with Cara Mia Pinot Noir.

Lemon-Blueberry Buckle and The Masters Champions Dinner

We celebrated the end of April (and "The Masters" month) by hosting a Champions Dinner and date night in for a few of our couples friends at our house.

This year's Champions Dinner at Augusta consisted of "Sunday Roast Dinner" with Prime Rib, Roasted Potatoes and Vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding and Apple Crumble.

We changed our menu up a bit and served our Traeger Prime Rib, loaded Cambozola smashed potatoes, garden salad, White Cheddar and Sage popovers and for dessert...Lemon-Blueberry Buckle. Everything was so incredibly good. 

I tried to bring my A-game for the evening and thank God it all turned out perfect...down to an intense game of Guesstures (guys against girls).  Girls nailed it, what can I say? If you've never played this game...you must get it and play...so much fun!!

As we were planning the dinner, I really wanted to try and replicate "The Champions Dinner" evening feel.  I looked for photos and since cameras and cell phones are not allowed at the actual dinner, each year there is always only one portrait taken with all the former winners.

One thing that I did notice that is consistent every year in the portrait photo...white linens, white china with gold accents and yellow flowers....done!

Lemon-Blueberry Buckle

1 box Butter Yellow cake mix

2 cans blueberry pie filling

1 whole lemon

1 stick cold, unsalted butter, sliced thin (16 slices)

vanilla bean ice cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 9x13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray on bottom and sides.

Pour both cans of blueberry pie filling in dish.  Zest the lemon and sprinkle all over pie filling. Cut lemon in half and squeeze the juice of lemon all over the pie filling.  Mix lemon in with filling well.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix all over lemon-blueberry mixture.  Spread evenly and smooth out mix on top of filling (this will be your top crust - do not mix the dry cake mix with the pie filling).   Add pads of cold butter, spaced evenly all over cake mix.

Bake approximately 45 minutes, until filling starts to bubble up the sides and butter/cake mix starts to turn golden brown.

Remove from oven and let sit about 30 minutes, it will be very hot.

Scoop out and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Bundt Pan Chicken and Small Town Feel

I live in a relatively small urban city.  It was much smaller when we moved here and now has grown tremendously.  I have to say though, I do love it's small town roots that it offers.  There are many "mom and pop" owned businesses here.  Simple one location business, open respectable hours, closed on Sundays for family time and no franchises.  We have a lot of those here and I treasure and support them.

We needed a specialized mechanic for our daughters' vehicle (because they are princesses).  Anyway, I met the most delightful group of people.  As I was dropping off their vehicle one day and distressed over everything that needed done, the mechanic and I were discussing Lent and that I had given up alcohol.  He said he and his wife make wine and asked what my favorite blend was.  I told him and he said, maybe when I pick up their car there would be a bottle of wine waiting for me in the seat....low and behold there was.  Pinot Noir waiting for momma!  I waited until Easter to open their gift...it was the best tasting (no label) glass of wine!

I am also in love with our vacuum store.  It is set in the heart of Main Street, owned by husband and wife.  He runs the vacuum business and she sets out homemade baked bread, cookies and a pitcher of fresh tea in their store every day!  She has even started advertising the flavor of the day on the side walk.  It just doesn't get any cuter than that! Never have I enjoyed shopping for my Kirby vacuum bags and belts so much!

Speaking of small town comforts, I stumbled on what apparently is all the rage now in home culinary cuisine...Bundt Pan Chicken.  I thought I had branched out and got creative when I started doing my Cheese/Garlic Knots in my bundt pan, but this one takes the cake (no pun intended)!

Best Bundt Pan Rotisserie Chicken
Courtesy of delish.com

2 carrots, chopped
1 onion, quartered
1 Tbl minced garlic
1/2 lb. yukon potatoes, quartered (I also used red and purple potatoes)
1 larbe bunch fresh thyme
1 large bunch fresh rosemary
extra virgin olive oil
1 (3-4) pound whole chicken, gizzard removed
1 lemon, sliced
salt
pepper
your favorite chicken seasoning mix

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and cover the hole of the bundt pan with foil.

In the bowl of a large bundt pan, combine garlic, carrots, onion and potatoes.  Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Scatter springs of fresh thyme and rosemary on top of the vegetables.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.  Season the inside of the cavity generously with salt and pepper, then stuff it with the lemon halves, a few sprigs of thyme and a few springs of rosemary.  Rub the olive oil all over the skin of the chicken then season generously with salt and pepper (and chicken seasoning).

Place the chicken in the middle of the bundt pan, breast side up.  Bake until the chicken is cooked through and ski is golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes.  Let chicken rest for at least 15 minutes, before slicing.  Serve with roasted vegetables and extra pan juices.

Creamy Rosemary Potatoes

Easter is upon us and will be here before we know it this Sunday.  I was actually hit with the question, "You're doing Easter baskets for us this year, right?"  Gotta love kids...(even 18 year olds). "No", I responded, quite adamantly.

Well, of course anyone who knows me (including them), knows I was lying.  Of course they are getting an Easter basket, equipped with the same purple bunny and yellow duck baskets they have had forever!  Since they already received their traditional Easter swim suits early this year, due to Spring Break, this years' goodies will be more spa and dorm oriented...so excited to see their faces!

I'm thinking of bringing back this potato dish that I made for us at Christmas, to serve as a side for Easter dinner.  It was amazing and made the house smell, beyond wonderful!

Creamy Rosemary Potatoes
Adapted from Pioneer Woman

4 Tbl (1/2 stick) butter, plus softened butter, for the baking dish
5 to 6 medium russet potatoes
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup half-and-half
2 Tbl minced fresh rosemary
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

** Cook's note:  I substituted the russet potatoes with one bag of mixed fingerling potatoes (white and purple).  I also added using one 8-ounce container of button mushrooms, sliced.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Rub the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish with softened butter.

Using a very sharp knife, (carefully) slice the potatoes very thinly.  They'll cook better that way.  Place the potatoes in the baking dish and add the layer of sliced mushrooms over the potatoes and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.  Add the garlic and onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.  Cut the bar of cream cheese in cubes and add to the skillet, stirring constantly.  Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and combined, about 3 minutes.  Pour in the half-and-half and stir to combine.  Mix in 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper.  Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.  Add the rosemary and green onions and stir to combine.  Finally, mix in 1/2 cup of the graded Parmesan.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top of the potatoes.  Scrape out the skillet to get every last drop.  Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan generously over the top and bake until golden brown and bubbly, at least 1 hour.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Queen Elizabeth's Drop Scones, Prom and Puppies

Prom weekend had finally arrived.  After months of preparation and planning, the Seniors' special day was here and they were all in full force! Nails, hair, makeup, final dress adjustments...done!

The girls had some friends stay over the night before, so we gathered around the table with our celebratory box of mixed Dunkin Donuts and toasted to a beautiful, sunny morning with our orange juice!  Another "last" in our household this year...

While the girls spent the day doing their prom prepping, I tried out some new recipes.  I saw this one on the internet as published in Town & Country Magazine, "Queen Elizabeth's Drop Scones".  Since prom is a day fit for a Queen...why not?!

Queen Elizabeth's Drop Scones
Courtesy of The National Archives

2 cups flour
4 Tbl sugar
1 cup milk
2 whole eggs
2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbl melted butter

Beat eggs, sugar and about half the milk together, add flour, and mix well together adding remainder milk as required, also baking soda and cream of tartar, fold in the melted butter.

** Her recipe ends there, but seeing as these are similar to pancakes, one can then assume the batter would be dropped into a pan by the spoonful and flipped when bubbles started to appear on the surface.

These can be served with a fruit jam/preserve on top or a squeeze of lemon and dusting of powdered sugar.

"Clinks" Spinach Salad

With prom coming up this weekend, one night at family dinner, we were discussing all the different places that everyone would be going to for prom dinner.  My husband and I started reminiscing and talking about "back in the day".  His high school had prom at a hotel and a sit down dinner was served in the banquet room, before the actual prom dance.

I was telling them about a "fancy" restaurant that we used to go to (remember this was in Alaska)...it's a mouthful, so hang in there with me on this one..."Clinkerdagger Bickerstaff and Petts".

They were known for their complimentary brown bread, pewter dishes and Steak Pottage Soup along with their Fried Zucchini and Cheese Sauce.  I would actually pay serious money to get that Zucchini/Sauce recipes.  I have searched all over the internet and it doesn't exist.

I even worked there for about a year after high school and yes, I wore the Paul Revere uniform as shown in photo above...and I rocked it!

"Clinks", as we all affectionately called it was also known for their Spinach Salad.  I did actually find their recipe on the internet...now if I could just get my hands on their Zucchini!!!

Clinkerdagger Spinach Salad
Courtesy of Food.com

1 bunch spinach leaves
2 green onions, sliced
3 hard boiled eggs
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded (not the grated powder stuff)
2 Tbl sliced almonds
1 Tbl bacon bits
3 Tbl cider vinegar
3 Tbl sugar
1/2 tsp prepared Dijon mustard
4 ounces sliced button mushrooms (I added this to the recipe, for our own tastes)

Wash spinach thoroughly. Spin or blot dry and tear into bite-sized pieces.

Chop egg (whites) only.

For dressing, in separate dish mash egg (yolks), vinegar, sugar, and mustard, whisk together.

Put all salad ingredients in a large bowl.  Pour dressing on top.  Toss and serve on chilled plates (like "Clinks" used to).

Bobotie and Bring'n the Challenge

It's Masters Month here at our house and that means one thing...new ideas and recipes!  As you know, every year we try to recreate a new Champions Masters Dinner, based upon the last year's winner's dinner selection or even further back previous years.  When I say "we", that means my husband gets these wild ideas, challenges me, and then I bring it on!

This year as my husband was watching interviews on The Golf Channel during coffee time, they showed one of Augusta's chefs making "Bobotie" (South African Meatloaf Bake) from Trevor Immelman (2009) winner's dinner choice.  As I was watching the interview I was just sitting there and waiting for it...wait, here it comes...5-4-3-2-1..."Honey, you should totally make that this weekend!". I should be a psychic!

Bobotie...never heard of it, never seen it before.  The sound studio must have had great mics that day because their chef made it look and sound so good.  Why not?  I'll give this one a try.  Really interesting group of ingredients that is a very traditional dish in South Africa.  Husband loved it! Boom...another challenge scored!

Bobotie (South African Meatloaf Bake)

Add the salt, pepper, apricot jam and vinegar and stir to combine.

Squeeze excess milk from the bread and add the bread to the meat mixture. Stir to combine.  Add the egg to the mixture and stir to thoroughly combine.

Add the apples, apricots and raisins and stir to combine.

Scoop the meat mixture into the greased casserole dish.

To make the custard, combine the milk, eggs, salt and turmeric and whisk together until blended.  Evenly pour the custard over the meat mixture.  Place the bay leaves on top and evenly sprinkle over the slivered almonds.

Bake uncovered for an hour or until the mixture is set and the top is golden brown.  Serve with yellow rice.

Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp

We our finishing our fourth week of Lent and making great progress I have to say.  It's been challenging, but so worth it.  Diligently fasting from all adult beverages for the six weeks and sticking to our no meat on Fridays has really been good for us.  Not just for the dietary reasons, but most definitely for the practice of restraining and holding ourselves accountable to a commitment, which is never easy under any circumstances.

This dish however makes it very easy.  I will make this one over and over again in the upcoming years...it is amazingly easy and packed with incredible, rich flavors.

Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp
Courtesy of (and adapted from )www.cafedelites.com

2 Tbl butter
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails off and thawed
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup white wine (or chicken or vegetable broth)
5 oz jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil, drained (I substituted roasted red peppers here)
1-3/4 cups half and half, milk or heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups baby spinach leaves, stems removed
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbl water
2 tsp. dried Italian herbs
1 Tbl. fresh parsley, chopped

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Melt the butter and add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute).  Add in the shrimp and fry two minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink.  Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Fry the onion in the butter remaining in the skillet.  our in the white wine or broth and allow to reduce slightly.  Add the sun dried tomatoes (or roasted red peppers) and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.

Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the half and half and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally.  Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the Parmesan cheese.  Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce. (for a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch mixture) and stir well to incorporate until sauce thickens.

Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the herbs and parsley, and stir through.

Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veggies.

Blueberry-Raspberry French Toast Bake

Today we mark the countdown...60 calendar days until graduation.  It hit me this past weekend...OH MY GOSH, I only have 2 months to knock out everything that needs to be done before graduation!

Any other person would think, oh I have two months, that's plenty of time.  Well, true to my DNA and personality, you would think I am planning a wedding for royalty.  I started with "the list" that my family dreads (but secretly I know they do love and appreciate it) keeps them on track!

So in between life, pre-college meetings and orientations, Senior school events, and Prom we're taking on this list one line item at a time, in addition to a few grad surprises I am making for the twins.

One thing that I am always adamant about, just to put my mind at ease is menu planning for all our guests and the graduation luncheon.  My thoughts are if someone is taking the time and money to come visit you, the least you can do is make it memorable and no one goes hungry...not on my watch...never!

I have no doubt that this Berry French Toast Bake will make an appearance at some point during visitors week.  This is right out of a Bed and Breakfast morning buffet scenario...so, so good, warm and comforting!

Pesto Chicken Caesar Salad and Puppies

Last Spring when I was wallowing in my self pitty and feeling sorry for myself that my twin daughters were leaving me (in a year) to graduate high school and go off to college...to some unknown place(s)...my husband did everything he could to console me.

He realized that my "little girls" would be leaving and I would be sad and home alone with 3 boys (my husband and 2 male dogs).  He decided that I would need another little girl to get me through this empty nest transition.  Out of the blue, we heard about a litter of Labrador puppys that had just been born and would be ready for adoption in late Summer.

We went for "the visit"...Strike 1.  We found out she was born on our wedding anniversary...Strike 2. She curled up in our arms and started giving us the sweet puppy breath kisses on our cheeks...Strike 3.  You're done...SOLD!

I have yet to meet one person who can go on "the visit", cuddle a ball of soft, fuzzy fur, put the puppy back in the litter and say "no thanks, not interested" and walk away...is that even possible?  Not in our world...not ever in our world!

Her name is Brinkley Grace...Brinkley from Tom Hanks' dog in the movie "You've Got Mail" and Grace (because we were wishful thinking)...honestly I don't know what we were thinking.  We have either gotten too old to raise a puppy or this child is like no other Labrador out there.  All I can say is she's lucky she's so cute and still gives sweet kisses...otherwise she'd be out.

Her latest venture was discovering the family workout area in our basement.  She tried to steal my daughter's punching bag gloves and destroy them in the backyard.  Then she jumped on, punched a hole with her giant 10-month old teeth in my husband's exercise ball and then tried to shred their yoga mat.  All of this takes place in about 3.7 seconds while I am on my computer.  I no sooner get that under control, sort of and I hear her tossing the 5 pound weights down the steps, which by the way is super loud at 11:30 at night.  So cute...right??!!

This salad ended up being one of those mid-week refrigerator cleaning dinners.  I have no fancy measurements or culinary terms...it was basic, easy and perfect for a night of chasing the new puppy.

Pesto Chicken Caesar Salad

prepared Pesto sauce
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned, sliced
1 head romaine lettuce
bottled Caesar dressing (your favorite brand)
shredded Parmesan cheese
4 cooked slices bacon, crumbled

Grill chicken breasts on outdoor grill or on stovetop in grill pan.  Right before chicken is cooked through, "shmear" a spoonful of pesto sauce on each side of chicken breasts and give a quick sear. Set aside and cover to let juices redistribute.

While chicken is grilling, saute mushrooms in a little butter and garlic salt.  When mushrooms are done, set aside and cut cooked chicken into bite size cubes.

In a large salad bowl add the romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, bacon crumbles, sauteed mushrooms and chicken breasts. Toss with Caesar dressing.
