Asparagus Scallops

Asparagus Scallops

Asparagus Scallops ……….Asparagus……..our first year with our own has proven to be well worth the wait………it has taken three long years.

We have made several dishes, and as the crop continues (hopefully for a while longer), I will be able to post a few more recipes with this yummy spring veggie.

Scallops, are something that people either LOVE or do not. Tim and I happen to LOVE them. They pair well with many things but, pairing them with the fresh, home grown, extra special, because we grew it ourselves asparagus, was nothing short of fabulous!

While the sauce is not exactly fat free it is tastiful……………I know not proper english, and probably grammatically incorrect, but…………….if you want that kind of writing you are in the wrong spot. I write like I talk……..those of you who know me know I am kinda a goober sometimes, so, now those who do not know me know as well.

This recipe is quick to fix, would be impressive to serve to company, makes a great date night dinner, and as I have already said is tastiful!! So. whether you have your own asparagus, bum some from a friend who has an asparagus patch, or purchase it from the store……………then try our Asparagus Scallops recipe for dinner tonight!

Mexican Meatless Stuffed Peppers

Mexican Meatless Stuffed Peppers

This is a special recipe for Melissa at Grubsteakers. Tim cleans the beer lines at Grubsteakers in Rochelle and Melissa is a waitress there, so he sees her every two weeks. She always has a cup of coffee for Tim and is a friend of What the “Forks” for Dinner? So when she requested a meatless stuffed pepper we were happy to oblige.

I wanted to do something a little less traditional so, opted for a Mexican flavor since Tim and I love Mexican food. I didn’t want to stray to far from the traditional, so kept the rice, using a gluten free rice for my gluten intolerant friends. Black beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, garlic, with cumin, and chili powder give the rice that Mexican flavor I was looking for and the cheese adds a creaminess, and well………its cheese, whats not to like.

I hope that Melissa likes these Mexican Meatless Stuffed Peppers as much we did, and we hope you do too!!

Bacon Egg Breakfast Bread

Bacon Egg Breakfast Bread

Sunday breakfast has alway been a big deal for Tim and I. When we were first dating, we went to breakfast every Sunday morning. We had a favorite place and we had a favorite waitress………..we were Sunday morning regulars………..fast forward three years, we are now an old married couple and we tend to stay home more.

But, Sunday breakfast is still a big deal. We have the usual bacon and eggs, or french toast, or pancakes. But, sometimes we try something new and today was a ‘try something new day’!

I suppose, you could consider this a pizza, but I prefer to call it a Breakfast Bread. Eggs, bacon, and cheese fancied up with cherry tomatoes,basil, and spiced up with just a touch of pepper flakes!

Yeast dough is scary for a lot of you……….don’t be afraid!!!! It is really easy. The dough takes just a few minutes to put together, it has a short knead time (I use my Kitchen-aide mixer, it takes all the work out of it). The rise time gives you time to prep the other ingredients. If you are really afraid of the dough, you can use a pre-made, but give the dough a try you will not be sorry.

Tim and I really enjoyed this Bacon Egg Breakfast Bread……..it will join the list of our Sunday favorites!
