I started out making a recipe I found on Tasty Kitchen for a "No Rice Cauliflower Risotto with Parmesan and Black Pepper." Right in the middle of the recipe I changed my mind and added goat cheese instead of the Parmesan and Half-and-Half. I don't know what came over me but once I tasted the cauliflower, I knew I had to use goat cheese. This is a very interesting dish that paired well . . .

No. 39 – Chocolate Silk Pie
Are you looking for a creamy pie that's simple to make with a surprisingly rich chocolate flavor? Look no further. I was almost shocked at how chocolaty this pie tastes. I was also surprised that it's sweet without adding any sugar. The sweetening agent is the marshmallow creme. The marshmallow creme gives the filling a thick mousse-like texture that's light and smooth. The other . . .

Cheddar Crackers at the beach
Happy Saturday peeps! We're still at the beach enjoying the last day of our relaxing vacation. You know it's a good vacation when someone asks what time it is and you have no idea. I heard one person in our group ask what day it was. Success! These photos of Abby and Mocha pretty much sum up the vacation. Chilled out!Mocha can sleep anywhere - . . . Continue Reading
No. 38 – Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Pie
Hello blogger friends! Tricia here posting from the beaches of the Outer Banks, NC. We're staying in the exact same area where the hurricane came through not 3 weeks ago. I'm surprised how fast they've recovered and cleaned up. Some of the houses still show signs of Irene's attitude but the only signs the storm came through is the piles of brush and limbs. . . .

Tomato, pesto, avocado & cheese panini
Good morning Friday. Thanks for coming by! I've missed you since last week. We've had a busy week with lots going on so a glimpse of the weekend is a welcome blip on our radar. Next week will offer a much slower pace. More on that later. I'm not trying to take the easy way out today with another panini post. You know I only share the . . . Continue Reading
Banana Bran Muffins with Oats
My lovely cousin Gayle from Dearborn, Michigan, asked me if I had a good bran muffin recipe. Well no, I don't (or didn't), and no one was more shocked than I was. Why is it I've never even posted one muffin recipe on SRFD? Thanks Gayle, this could have been a major snafu on my part! After sharing some recipes with Gayle (who requested no raisins or nuts) I continued my research . . . Continue Reading

Basil Pesto & Vegetable Ribbons
I mentioned to my husband that I'm probably publishing the last Garden-to-Table post for this season. He was a bit indignant and replied that we have lots of growing season left! Maybe he's planning some fall crops or something. We still have tomatoes, rosemary, parsley, okra and basil so perhaps I can pull out one more fantastic recipe before the frost. I usually make pesto at least . . .

One of the best sandwiches you can make at home. Cheese Steak Panini with plenty of soft sweet caramelized onions, loads of melty cheese and tender steak piled on toasted bread! Here's your chance to turn leftovers into an amazing meal the whole family will love. We had company for dinner this past weekend and grilled steaks soaked our favorite marinade. We made sure we grilled an . . . Continue Reading
Sticky Toffee Pudding Apple Pie
This is by far the most decadent, interesting, time consuming, messiest, and stickiest pie I have ever made. I don't mean to imply that it's not good. It's over the top sweet, rich, and maybe even complicated, but traveling husband said it tastes absolutely incredible.  I am surprised how much the tartness of the apples and the apple flavor come through. I thought it might be . . .
