Cajun-Style Grilled Foil Packets

You can’t go wrong with foil packets. They are a complete meal in one package.

These are especially tasty.

Black Beans with Rice

This is a truly delicious way to make use of the last bit of a bone in ham.

The ham bone create a wonderfully flavored broth. The beans make it thick and hearty.

Mexican Pizza

Mexican Pizza it one of the quickest, easiest dinners that can be had. The whole family loves them.

This is a great faux version of the Taco Bell version of Mexican Pizza.

Crock pot Bacon Cheese Potatoes

I was a bit dubious of this dish when I  first saw it.

Actually it turned out to be great. Should have know it has bacon in it. 🙂

Apple and Poppy Seed Coleslaw

Who doesn’t like Coleslaw.

It is a great summer food. The ideal food for a hot summer day.

It is a great match for BBQ.

Court Bouillon – Poaching liquid

Recently I was looking for different methods of using leftover vegetables, herbs and such when I stumbled across this recipe by Alton Brown.

We haven’t tried this yet. In fact I don’t think we have ever poached anything other than an egg. But this looks like a very interesting way to infuse great flavor without adding calories. It also looks to be  a fantastic and frugal use of leftover veggies 🙂 and is even reusable. In fact, I found when reading about it that reusing the court-bouillon only intensifies the flavor.

What an intriguing idea.

Have any of you used anything like this before? If so, with what, if you don’t mind sharing?

Ham and Zucchini Frittata

Frittata’s are so delicious and versatile.

They are a great way to utilize leftovers. This one uses leftover ham and zucchini from earlier in the week.

Baked Ham with Cherry-Pineapple Glaze

We love ham…..who doesn’t

This glazed ham is so delicious you want to eat the whole thing all at once. But don’t. You won’t be able to move.

One of the great things about ham is really the left overs. They make lunches and dinners later in the week worth the wait.

Swedish Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

We wanted to try Swedish Baked Potatoes. Well if you do that you have to have a Swedish protein with it. So I went out and looked at several recipes for Swedish Pork Chops. In the end this is what I came out with. I don’t know if it is truly Swedish. But it is Swedish inspired.

So its tax day and, yes we were among the procrastinators. But that is one of the reasons we picked what we did for dinner tonight. We selected a simple sandwich and Caprese Salad with a bit of a twist,
