Tomato-Herb Summer Salsa for BeefThis isn’t exactly a salsa in the Mexican-dip-for-tortilla chips sense, but more of an uncooked, chunky thick sauce…maybe a dressing?  But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious.  It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken.  This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in.  Continue reading →

Pickled Bing CherriesThe summer always brings out my “canning and preserving” gene.  I got this gene from both sides of my family and I’m so glad I did.  The summer bounty offers up countless pickling opportunities.  Pickled Bing Cherries are one of the best.  Continue reading →

Olives Marinated with Orange, Garlic, Red Pepper & RosemaryWhen you put out a bowl of good olives, they always seems to disappear quickly, don’t they?  When I put these little orbs of tastiness out to nibble, with drinks, before dinner, they fly out of the bowl!  If you’re lucky enough to have some left, they are mighty delicious strewn over a salad.  Continue reading →

South-of-the-Border Bean Salad (or Salsa)You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right?  You  probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it.  This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn.  What makes this salad different?  It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors.  I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl!  Chips are good, too.  Continue reading →

Parsley-Cilantro-Orange ChimichurriChimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood.  Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable!  It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything.  Continue reading →
