Recipe Publishing Network

It has been an almost eleven year journey to this point some ups some downs but it has come to the point where my MS has taken the ability to properly maintain the sites anymore on a daily basis away from me. I have deliberated both personally and with friends and family and have come to the only logical choice but to focus exclusively on my health and family so as of this point the sites are all closed and I will be removing all the content from them.

I am sorry for all those that have enjoyed my recipes over the years and my unique food take on them. It is not something I have done lightly and I am sorry to disappoint any of my loyal readers. I have actually taken over four months to come to this point it was so difficult as I loved what I did and the thought of not having it is kind of like losing a part of me.

Truth is MS has taken more than I had hoped and my husband’s health is not good either so we need to take care of each other for now. I have all the content and will hold on incase someday down the road things change but for the foreseeable future I don’t see that happening. Thank you all for your support and may all your days be filled with good food.

Love,

Although I show you these wonderful steaks before they are cooked or marinated it isn’t too hard to imagine just how good a wonderful cut of meat like this is going to taste. In this recipe, I combine some very European taste in the form of red wine and the balsamic vinegar but it takes a distinct turn toward New Orleans and the French Quarter for the rest of the spicing. When picking out some of the ingredients don’t be tempted to cut corners this is a great cut of meat and it deserves only the best to treat it with the respect a piece of meat like this deserves. Treat it well and you will not be disappointed.

Although not as common, a dish on this side of the pond this combo in the UK is a major favorite among nationals. In the UK it goes by the name of “Bangers and Mash” with the bangers being the sausage and the mash being the potatoes. It is often served with some form of peas (seems everything there is) you can either have some with yours if you like or just the combo on its own is plenty filling and a really tasty combination. This is a real comfort food, it is elevated to gourmet status by some of the ingredients, and the manner in which some of it like the onions are cooked in is a bit above the norm.

If there ever was what one would consider the quid essential perfect looking combination of vegetables all blended together than coleslaw in one form or another would have to be way up on the list of them. It is such a beautiful blend of color, texture and it leads to something that individual will never taste as good as they will all together. A mix that even carnivores love to devour at cookouts almost as much as the meat it would seem. This is a perfect blend of acidic and sweet flavored vegetables that go perfectly with all that heavy grilled protein you will be serving.

Chicken is always a good meal solution, but grilling it transforms this humble bird into something truly spectacular. You can grill wings, legs, breast, or even a whole roaster if you like. The inside will be succulent and juicy, and the outside will be crisp and smoky. Is there really anything better than it grilled?

This delicious pizza is topped with mozzarella, shrimp scampi and there is some garlic in there too. If you like seafood you will love the flavor of this. You will notice the toppings are kept to a minimum so the flavor of the shrimp really shines through, although you will see we added a few green peas to our pizza, and that was to add a contrasting taste plus a contrasting color. You can do this too if you want, or else consider adding some corn or another colorful topping with a slightly sweet flavor to complement the shrimp.

A taco salad recipe with Doritos® is not only a filling dinner but also the use of the flavored chips ads flavor to the tortilla layer of the salad. The above one is more like a layered version vs. the kind that come in a tortilla bowl. There is not necessarily a set configuration for these although many are served in a tortilla bowl it is not cast in stone that this is the only way to make one. In fact, these salads are mainly any salad that is kind of tacoish in nature and served with tortillas and not necessarily always just corn some are actually in flour tortilla bowls.

If removing or cooking the stuffing separate and then placing it into a serving dish for all to pass around add a few sage leaves to the top for mainly decoration but it looks and smells really nice too. Making stuffing doesn’t have to be hard and in fact, other then the time it takes to prepare and put it, altogether it is really is one of the easier dish. In fact that is truly, why we love Thanksgiving feast many of the dishes are among the simplest but with loads of flavor. See cooking doesn’t have to be hard and the age old adage of keep it simple (you fill in whichever “S” you prefer) is so true on this day. It all works because it is all good basic comfort food.

Scooping delicious holiday punch out of a bowl with matching glasses is a wonderful serving idea. Not only does the glass bowl allow your guests to admire the fruity red color of your drink but it also looks elegant and timeless on the table. This is a fun drink to make and, although there are plenty of holiday recipes for it to choose from, the most popular ones always seem to be the ones containing plenty of fresh fruit juice, as well as fresh fruit slices or pieces.

http://www.recipepublishingnetwork.com/rpn-recipes/meat-recipes/chicken/best-ever-chicken-salad-recipe/

Chicken salad can come in one of two very different ways one where the chicken is the salad and the other is where it is part of a more traditional garden style salad and is merely one of the many possible ingredients like in this recipe. In the other the meat is usually chopped up and mixed with things such as celery, fruit (dried or fresh), nuts, seeds and so on and then the whole thing is mixed with usually some kind of mayonnaise or creamy kind of dressing and then served often as a sandwich filling. In this one on the other hand we serve a garden style salad with a piece of fried chicken breast that has a little bit of heat init to make it more southern style.

Many of us have had pork or beef ribs but have you ever had veal ribs? If you are looking for the king of tender as far as ribs are concerned look no, further than this recipe for nice tender young veal ribs. Veal is a tender meat in most cases to begin with but place them into a pot and let them braise for two hours and you have meat that will literally melt in your mouth it is so tender. I can’t think of a better way or meat to use if what you are after is moist and soft to chew meat.

This colorful salad is kind of a hybrid in that it uses sweet potatoes instead of ordinary white potatoes and then combines it with fresh and dried fruit along with a unique and light summertime dressing to finish it off. It is clearly not your normal side dish. This is surely a side dish that will be a contrast to what you are grilling and although a bit different that is a good thing sometimes you end up surprising people with something completely new and different.
