Tried it Twice... still don't like it

Last night we went over to see Gini and the baby at the hospital in Fredericksburg. I had thought we'd go visit and then have a nice dinner, preferably at Pasta Bella, but by the time we go there it was already 8:45 and by the time we left the hospital it was well past 9:00. We drove up and down the main street there in F'burg trying to find a restaurant, but amazingly most of them close at 9:00. You'd think for a tourist town, it would stay open later, especially on a really nice, warm Saturday night in April. We ended up at the Brewery which we had tried on one other occasion and were not that impressed. Last night was no different. The first time we ate there we tried their German food. Frozen pork/veal patty. I am not a fan of frozen, pre-purchased patties of any sort. And now that I have started making Jaegerschnitzel at home, we just don't eat it out anyway. I wish I could find veal, but pork works... So last night James had the red snapper and I had a chicken fri...

Healthy Zuppa Toscana Soup (Sausage and Kale)

I have made Zuppa Toscana before on this blog. However, recently, I have changed my eating habits to avoid dairy and starch so I have had to figure out new ways of making some of my old soups. This one did not disappoint! Even my husband, who is not a huge fan of soup, loved this one. It will definitely become a staple in our house this winter. Healthy Zuppa Toscana Soup 1 tablespoon of organic olive oil or grass fed butter (I love Kerrygold !) 1 pound of ground Italian sausage (I use mild, but if you like spicy soup, go for the spicy!) 6 cups chicken bone broth (you can use regular chicken broth, but you'll get more protein using bone broth) 1/2 large head of cauliflower broken into florets. (I am lazy so I just buy the microwaveable pouches in the produce section. They are about 10 ounces at our store and it is the perfect amount. But if you like more cauliflower, then add more!) 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon of garlic powder 1...

Kebabs

I love my grill. It's the best thing in my cooking arsenal. When I asked for it for mother's day, James thought I was nuts. He said he never heard of a woman asking for a grill. Well, I do all the cooking, so I think I should have a grill fit for a queen... or at least for a mom! Tonight we had beef kabobs. I bought boneless beef ribs, cut them into 1 inch pieces and marinated them for about an hour in worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, grill seasoning and fresh garlic. Then I skewered some orange bell pepper and onions on some bamboo skewers (after soaking them for awhile, of course!) and the did separate skewers of yellow squash and mushrooms. All and all I'd give it a 6 on a scale of 10. OK... Healthy, for sure... Even the kiddo asked for more mushrooms! She skipped the onions and bell pepper, but she made up for it in squash and mushrooms. The meat was really tender, but had some muscle running through it so it really had to be cut ...
