Sweet potatoes cooked until tender; then mixed with cranberry goat cheese, cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and baked again. While out grocery shopping last week, I noticed a product I hadn't seen before; goat cheese covered in cranberries. It sounded interesting so I purchased it and couldn't wait to experiment with it. I had been trying to find something new to make with sweet potatoes and since my other twice baked sweet potato recipe still continues to be spread all throughout Pinterest ...

Turkey Kiev
Turkey Kiev made with boneless turkey breast that's been stuffed with a mixture of butter, fresh tarragon, and parsley and coated with panko breadcrumbs. Every once in a while when we were younger, my mom would buy frozen dinners to heat up for my sister and I.

Thinly sliced center cut pork cutlets dipped into a lime infused egg wash; then coated with coconut panko breadcrumbs before pan frying until golden brown.

Recently I had purchased a pork loin roast that was too large for my family of four and cut it down to make cutlets for another meal.

Italian Sausage & Peppers
Italian Sausage and Peppers in a White Wine Sauce make the perfect Sunday afternoon meal or tasty sandwiches for tailgating. Let's see a show of hands. Do you prefer sausage and peppers in a red, marinara sauce or in a white sauce?

Classic Herb Stuffing with Fennel
Classic Herb Stuffing with Fennel is easy to make without a lot of ingredients and adds a light anise flavor to one of Thanksgiving's popular side dishes. November is my favorite month. The leaves start to change and fall from the trees. I'm always hot, so the cooler temperatures make it more pleasant to be outside. And it's Thanksgiving, my favorite food holiday! As I was looking through my folders to make a new side dish for the holiday to share with you, this Classic Herb ... Read More about Classic Herb Stuffing with Fennel
