Cooking and Cursing with M’Liss

I've battled Salmon Croquettes for YEARS and suffered a string of laughable losses, but last night I finally landed the big one. They turned out amazingly good, with great taste and a golden crust, but sadly my house is now a salmon-scented hostage to the cause!

Taking matters into my own hands, I decided to create a fantastic steak dinner at home since finding a great steakhouse seemed to require an eternity of driving, and whipped up a culinary masterpiece - grilling steaks to perfection, sautéing mushrooms in a rich garlic butter sauce infused with red wine, pairing it with vibrant asparagus, and finishing the meal off with a refreshing touch of sweet watermelon, creamy mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

I firmly believe cooking and color just makes food beautiful and an artistic expression in itself…. This morning I prepared HRH (my husband) breakfast which is his favorite meal of the day……
Well to be completely honest he love a good meal any time of the day lol

Tonight's dinner was a masterclass in not overdoing it - boneless, skinless chicken thighs got a makeover with my trustiest Hulu Hulu sauce, some cucumber slices played the role of unenthusiastic side dish, sweet vine cherry tomatoes brought their A-game, and pasta salad joined the party too; basically, I cooked like a responsible adult now that warm weather is stealing my appetite, and my air fryer is officially my best friend... saving me from oven-induced sweat sessions.

Tonight I whipped up one of my notorious salads that's got everything but the kitchen sink in it - we're talkin' random veggies, baby canned corn, black olives, avocado, plus your go-to cheese and meat, and just like that, you've got MAGIC IN A BOWL!!!!

Sit back put a good movie on and add a glass of your favorite wine and you can’t get any better than that…..

Well, it's been three months since my total hip replacement and guess whose cooking and cursing again... this crazy lady is! Tonight's gastric delight is a throw-everything-in-the-pot spaghetti sauce extravaganza. You ask me what's in my spaghetti sauce... my answer is, what isn't? Onions, celery, garlic, orange and green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives - honestly, my sauce is a meal in itself. I don't think there's anything traditional about my spaghetti sauce when I make it this way. Oh, and a little tip: any leftover sauce, I get to use it to make lasagna the next day... two meals with one sauce!!!!
