BBQ Pork Chops

BBQ Pork Chops, mashed potatoes and garden fresh green beans.  Simply delicious.  I like to mash both sweet potatoes and Idaho potatoes for a nice balanced flavor with no need for butter, milk or sour cream.  Check it out next time you want a mashed potato, I think you'll like it.

Steamed Garden Veggies & Salmon

There is nothing I love more then to pick and steam fresh veggies from my garden.  Tonight’s dinner was so healthy and good!  I barbequed wild caught (not farm raised) Salmon, steamed rice and fresh picked and steamed squash from my garden.  The dinner took less than 20 minutes to prepare.

How do you barbeque your Salmon?  I placed the large filet on a double layer of aluminum foil, added salt, pepper, garlic powder and butter.  Then I sealed the foil and placed it on a hot grill (375 degrees) for about 15 minutes. 

Baked Chicken

Tonight we had a special guest with us for dinner ~ Yulia from Russia.  I wanted to serve a tried and true recipe so I simply baked chicken breast with my homemade sauce.  I also baked bundles of sweet onion, red potatoes and carrots, and served coleslaw and cottage cheese/jello salad.  It was fun to welcome a guest and talk about food from her homeland.  Stay tuned as I try my hand (with some help from our new friend) at some traditional Russian dishes.
