    February 1, 2017

    I was pleasantly surprised at this meal from Hello Fresh (click here if you’re interested in a discount!).  It’s name was “panko crusted cod”, which I don’t think does the recipe justice.  It’s more interesting than just slapping some panko on…

  • stuffed swiss & ham rolls;

    January 16, 2017

    Another take on these Stuffed rolls, swiss and ham is always a yummy combination for me. I even went one gourmet-step forward and grabbed Trader Joe’s  rosemary ham. If you don’t have access to rosemary ham, you can always sprinkle…
