Inspiring people to create every day recipes
My neighbor has once again shared his bounty from the sea. Tonight I am preparing fluke, oven roasted herb potatoes and a vegetable.

I have some suggestions that may help make things a bit easier for you. Baked Blueberry-Pecan French Toast with Blueberry Syrup is a recipe that I have made for years. It's from Gourmet Magazine's June 1999 issue. It's a great do ahead recipe that you can make this evening and bake tomorrow morning. I recently made it during wedding weekend at our house. You can omit the nuts and berries, if that is what your family prefers. However, do invest in real maple syrup to bring your game up a notch.
As mentioned in yesterday's post, Whole Foods had Bell & Evans whole chickens on sale. I was trying to decided how to flavor this bird when my husband and I stopped in at Williams-Sonoma and perused their shelves of rubs and seasonings. My husband and I came across a few that sounded interesting, but decided on Hickory Molasses Rub. It's $10.95, however, it is currently 20% off. Although it says to rub on the food an hour before cooking, I'm going to try putting it on before I leave for work so that I can just put it on the grill when I get home.
Still on a special diet, so some mashed potatoes and a salad for my husband tonight to round out this meal. It's been a busy week so far and it's only Tuesday. I have driven to north Jersey the past two days and I'm tired. However, today I met my siblings to finalize some matters and then we grabbed some lunch at Red Kettle Deli in Totowa. My sister and brother had an eggplant Parmesan sandwich, my brother-in-law had a meatball sub and I had a turkey on white bread. Good food. However, what made the day special was a trip to Gelotti on Union Avenue in Paterson My husband loves his pasta, as does my son-in-law. This is another Gourmet magazine recipe that I've been making since it came out in April 1999. The recipe is Pasta with Spring Vegetables and Proscuitto. Remember from my previous post that I said this was a work in progress, well this is my third attempt to write this post. I had it done and asked my daughter to review it, however, I must not have used the elements properly because she accidentally deleted my text. Anyway, the other day I had to work until 5 p.m. I wanted to come home and have dinner on the table within an hour. I pulled out a recipe that I have been making for thirty years; it's called Grilled Chicken Dijonnaise. I can't quite remember where I found it, but as a former Gourmet magazine subscriber, perhaps it came from there. I've had my tutorial from my blog designer, aka my daughter, and now I'm left to figure out how to create and edit my blog. It may take me a few tries to get it right, so I'll appreciate your patience. After a busy weekend, it's back to work. Whole Foods had on special last week, sales run Wednesday to Tuesday, center-cut boneless pork chops for $4.99/lb. (a savings of $3). In their sale flyer it says, "Our pork is raised on family farms and never given antibiotics." I had previously tried Wegmans bone-in pork, those labeled "from local farms" and priced at approximately $8/lb. However, I was curious to see how Whole Foods measured it up.
