Posted by DeeCooks

Korean Beef Salad

Posted by DeeCooks  

I got this from a Sunset magazine about 15 years ago and having lost it and found it several times, I'm finally putting it in here for sanity's sake! The recipe calls for sliced deli roast beef, but I've used leftover steak or roast and it's... MORE»

The Rendezvous-Style Rub for Ribs

Posted by DeeCooks  

There's a few copycat recipes for this rub that aren't close to what is really in there. This version is much closer to the seasoning they use at the 'Vous in Memphis and is from the AmazingRibs.com site (highly recommended!) I like that this... MORE»

Quinoa Egg Bake

(1 reviews) Posted by DeeCooks  

This is from a Whole Foods newsletter. It's basically quiche-like, but healthier from the quinoa crust and is insanely adaptable with different veggies and cheeses. The ease and health is what I like best. MORE»

Bistro-Style Short Ribs

(1 reviews) Posted by DeeCooks  

Based on a Tyler's Ultimate recipe, I streamlined some of this and it's a wonderful comfort food dinner. It can also be made in the crock pot, just use a bit less liquid, or be sure to boil down the sauce at the end. This is best made the day... MORE»

Tuna Steaks With Warm Mediterranean Vinaigrette

Posted by DeeCooks  

Or chicken or pork or shrimp...I scribbled this down out of a magazine at my dentist's office over ten years ago...and have loved it ever since. It was originally for tuna steaks, but I've branched out and use it on chicken and pork chops,... MORE»

I had a grilled pesto-marinated chicken breast at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose and wanted to make it at home, but couldn't find anything like what I had--it wasn't just chicken with pesto on it, but had been marinated. I searched for something... MORE»

Mission Chicken Thighs

(2 reviews) Posted by DeeCooks  

This is similar to a dish served at a restaurant in San Juan Bautista, which is the only reason I can think of that it's called "Mission" chicken. The bacon and smoked paprika give it a nice smoky flavor my husband likes.....It's quick... MORE»

Goat Cheese Corn Cakes

Posted by DeeCooks  

This was an appetizer I had at a wine festival in Santa Cruz, but we've had it as dinner, too. I love goat cheese....Since I keep bacon and bacon fat in the freezer, and goat cheese (chevre) freezes well, it's a very easy dinner. MORE»

Asparagus With Orange Curry Sauce

(1 reviews) Posted by DeeCooks  

An adaptation and simplification of a friend's recipe. The sauce is good with a lot of different vegetables, but I like it best with asparagus. This amount will (probably) leave you with some extra to experiment with. Adjust the amount of... MORE»

Spiced Amaretto
