Blue Cheese Dressing
Do you ever just stand there at the grocery store and stare at the umpteen salad dressings and hem and haw over what looks the most natural and fresh? If you are like me, you have realized that sometimes making dressing is just the only way to truly enjoy a special meal. Well, yesterday was Father’s Day so…

German Bierocks
This recipe for German Hamburgers or “Bierocks” came to me from my Great Grandmother Hans (who also gave me Homemade Noodles!) All my life I thought my mom was saying “Beer Rocks”, how funny! Basically, if you make homemade dough, this is not a dish to do when you are in a hurry, but for the purpose…

Simple Caesar Salad Dressing
Today is just the kind of day where I feel like keeping things fresh and simple! I am also totally ready for summer and farmer’s markets and cookouts with friends!!!! Store bought dressings just don’t get it done and your friends will be so delighted when you whip up this homemade dressing for them the next time…

Souvlaki
There are many ways to make Souvlaki, which is basically meat on a skewer. As we made our way around the country of Greece, sampling every single possible type, we discovered it is always delish! I was reminded the other day, by my Souvlaki-loving husband that the great thing about cuisine in Greece (and I am sure other Mediterranean countries) is the…

Kickin’ Wing Sauce
Straight from The Kicker himself…This Wing Sauce is one Greg has come up with over the years. With the Super Bowl coming up (if the weather behaves) I figured now would be a great time to give this to you.

2 Speedy No Bake Desserts
When it comes to whipping up a quick and tasty dessert, I am all about not having to measure a lot of ingredients! Let’s face it…Occasionally, we have time to create a Coconut Cream Pie from scratch, but most likely your teenager jumps in the car Friday after school and suddenly wants to throw a sleepover. You,…

Stuffed Tomatoes
A few days into our month long stay at Bungalows Ingrid, she completely surprised us with her authentic Stuffed Tomatoes which Jorgos delivered to our bungalow door on a rustic platter! This was the first time we had the dish and we were so excited as we gathered around the patio table, where the four of us completely…

Bruschetta and The Moose
There is just something about the sight of a Moose running through your neighbor’s pasture that strikes fear in one’s being… Here in Montana, it isn’t everyday we get such a treat, but then again you really don’t want to come very close to one of these creatures. They are scary!! We have seen 2 in…

Rootie’s BBQ Sauce
Here is a fun BBQ Sauce we make in our home sometimes. Appropriately named for The Bitterroot Valley and the fact it has Root Beer in it… Try it on a burger or maybe baste it on a whole chicken and throw it on your grill! I love to butterfly the chicken and even when the outdoor…
