Lorraine asked me to get fish from Costco this morning. When I arrived, the seafood bar was there — it’s typically open only for special occasions. Apparently the Superbowl is special enough. Instead of...
New York Style Pizza Crust
I’ve been dissatisfied with my pizza crust recipe — it tastes great, but generally rises too much and just does not spread in the pan. I spotted this recipe and decided to give it...
Whiskey Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Griddler Fried Chicken

Pesto, Feta, and Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

A few weeks back Patrick spotted edamame pasta in Costco … so of course we purchased it! FYI – “edamame” is green soy beans. Tonight I decided to use half (it’s a 2 lb...
