Buitoni "Wild Mushroom Raviolis"

I sauteed garlic, onion, tomato, and broccoli rabe in olive oil and finished it with some white wine, fresh lemon, and parmesan.


Here is an incredible product that I highly reccomend. I am not big on frozen raviolis, but this is up there with some of the best. http://www.buitoni.com/Public/Default.aspx You can buy them at Safeway in Maryland and the website will give you more information on how to get your hands on more of their products.

Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak Burrito with peppers, onion, and shredded cheese

Great night to grill out after several rainy days here in Maryland. Kristy bought a skirt steak, an inexpensive cut that is very versatile, which I marinated with worchestire, olive oil, smoked paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, and Tastefully Simple grill seasoning.

Topped with shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar and served with a side of quinoa.


Juicy and tender!






Mis en place.





I got a nice sear on it to lock in all the natural juces.





About 6 minutes on each side.










Smells good!




Ok, it's done.




Go O's!



Go Orioles! We we were at the game the other night and I captured this picture with the crabs and Old Bay Seasoning.

Cynthias

We ate at a great restaurant in Severna Park called Cynthias, probally one of the best in Anne Arundel county. Expensive, but worth every penny. http://cynthiassevernapark.com/

They actually closed summer 2009 :(


I had the grilled rockfish with risotto. It was delicious.


On the menu for $6 was a side of rings with 3 sauces. I had to order it, and as you can see it was a tower of deliciousness and crazy to say we did not finish it, because we were stuffed. They were so good.




Kristy had the lobster with curry, for about $33. It was a great dish.


Amuse bouche, they started us with a complimentary taste of a duck dumpling. Yum yum.






The pastry chef, who is amazing at what she does, made these (sorry I forgot the name,) biscuit type dinner rolls.


Finished the night with their housemade biscotti, best Ive ever had.

I have never made stuffed shells before, and gave it a shot. It is very fun to make, several steps.
Similar to making a lasagna. I used turkey sausage, tomatoes, ricotta, and topped it with mozzarella. Very yummy.

Breakfast for dinner


We love having breakfast for dinner; it is a true comfort food and fun to make.
We made a frittata ( I call it a baked omelet because after I add the eggs I place it in the oven) with turkey sausage, peppers, onion, and served with some fresh berries. Yum yum in my tum tum!














After baked.
