Charcuterie Night

Charcuterie Night

Meat and Cheese night at the Filla’s Turning Mondays into Fundays. I love Cheese, all cheese but sometimes I buy it and then it sits in the fridge while we wait for that “special moment” to break it out with a good wine pairing. Well starting this month we will have one Monday a month set aside for dinner around the Island to be sure we “break out” the Wine and cheese.

This is such and easy way of entertaining, having family time around the Island and enjoying some new and delicious meats and cheeses. I often buy very small portions of high quality Cheese so that we can try several different types without breaking the bank or having a ton of left overs. I paired this with a Beringer Cab and it was perfect.

Meatballs Divino

Making meatballs from scratch is like therapy for me. I put in all my favorite ingredients, whatever I am in the mood for, and mash it with my hands until my hands can’t take the cold anymore and I have to rest and warm them. I Literally work out the stress of the day as I hand mix all the ingredients and and scoop them out by hand into hearty bigger than bitesize meatballs. I love it.

Bakin' Bacon

Simply preheat oven to 375 degrees, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, lay out the bacon and place in the oven for 35 minutes for medium crisp and 45 minutes for well done. Why did I wait so long to make bacon this way!

Hash Brown Crusted Egg Bake

I created this recipe last summer when I was asked to feed 240 people for lunch at a retreat in early October, 2018. I made it several times for the family trying to perfect both the texture, the price per serving and flavor. I wanted an egg bake with some structure and a bit of crunchy crust that would give some contrast to the typical softer egg casserole texture. Adding a layer of Cheese on top as well as incorporating some in the crust helped to achieve the contrast I was looking for. Success. A filling yet frugal casserole that can feed a crowd!

BLG Brunch Pizza with Egg

The Big BLEG Brunch Pizza with Bacon Lettuce Egg and Goat Cheese. I had a left over pizza crust from Mondays Pizza fest and brushed it with butter, added some spring lettuce, goat cheese crumbles, a bit of Mozzarella around the edges, 3 cracked eggs nestle in the lettuce and that half cooked bacon on top. Baked on a Cast Iron pizza stone at 450 for 8 - 10 minutes or until the egg whites were cooked.
