out of the freezer

Hey now.  After a seriously long absence from blogging, cause Instagram is quick, I have a need to get back into the swing.  So by saying that here is just a small portion of what is going on in our kitchen:

Our little garden & the bucket tomatoes add deliciousness
Chicken for Chicken Salad
 Now for German Potato Salad:  it is served warm.  We like it hot (not spicy hot).  As with all great recipes it begins with bacon.  We purchase it from the Amish Market in Columbus, NJ.





We have been enjoying Wild Caught Salmon, like nobody's business.  And handles all aspects of the purchasing, cleaning, seasoning, & cooking it.  Hands down nobody makes it better.




And's perfectly seasoned 17" Lodge

My rendition of Maine Buttered Potatoes & Corn
One of our fave meals: simple & delicious


An all-time favorite:  Pulled Pork Boston Butt.... It all begins with his "Secret Butt Rub"




We are going to pack it up and bring to the kiddos

Really, doesn't this look just delicious



Love our SubZero all fridge Refrigerator
Then into the fridge with clarified Au jus, so we can reheat and the meat isn't greasy...that's just the way we roll..

Sometimes I slice the potatoes for my Maine Potatoes.



Shallots are also a great way to begin a great meal...



The season on that pan just keeps getting better   yuuuummmmm


What a Burger with cheese & sauteed shallots
The man makes a killer burger.....with no help from me

Now this is a major fave of our, we indulge quite often: Stuffed Artichokes














A slice of heaven
I was making pudding for pie and Creamy Risotto, just want to put out there how much I really like my BlueStar Range.  It was long and arduous search, the BlueStar was/is the workhorse we wanted.








homemade graham cracker crust
Creamy Risotto with Chicken, Cheese, & Peas
 Now it is time for garden tomatoes....
 We love to use said tomatoes for open face BLT's
You know it was delicious
 Some more German Potato Salad
 Yup, it's Salmon Time....

I may love figs...but I have to stay clear of them








I hope that you enjoyed this, because I have lots, lots more......
