Gourmet Food on a Budget — Ever Forward, Ever Flavorful
Silk tie dyed eggs were the star of my Easter table a few years ago, and I thought I should share again how to make them. I still have some leftover ties, so that I will make new ones again. They are very easy to make and look stunning. It’s a great way to use up old silk ties, blouses, shirts, etc.
Charoset Tart is a lovely dessert for your holiday table. You can serve it plain, or make it even more special with whipped cream on top.
Red lentil soup is one of my favorite soups. This one is a little spicy and great with freshly baked crusty bread slathered with freshly made butter. It makes quite a bit of soup so you can have leftovers for lunch or freeze some for another time.
Clam Chowder is a favorite of mine, especially homemade. My son has decided he doesn’t like anything that comes out of the sea. But, he likes this. This soup is full of flavor because of a secret ingredient – and it’s gluten-free. Serve it with Old Bay Biscuits and make it a family favorite.
The Stellar Salad gives you an edible size relation of our solar system. This is not a real salad, it’s one for the imagination!
Corned Beef with Stout is so easy to make in the Instant Pot. The stout gives it a lot of flavors, and the Instant Pot makes it quick. You don’t have to wait until St. Patrick’s Day – this is easy enough for any time.
Egg Drop Soup is so easy to make. Add dumplings and vegetables to make a whole meal.
Stovetop smoked salmon is so easy to make and tastes out of this world good. I serve it with creamy dill sauce, steamed new potatoes, broccoli, and white wine. You will seriously wonder why you haven’t made this before.
Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits are so nice in the morning with honey and a cup of coffee. They are very easy to prepare with the help of a good food processor. Tired to flat, hard, hockey puck biscuits? Read on.
Buttermilk Bolognese sauce is a different and tasty take on the traditional sauce. The buttermilk makes the sauce richer and more flavorful.
