Crispy Pork with Char Siu Sauce and memories of ChinaTown
Today I roasted a Picnic Pork Shoulder and created my own Char Siu sauce, including making my own Hoisin Sauce and Five Spice Powder and it brought back memories of trips to Chinatown when I was young.
Curried Autumn Squash Soup and A Fall Day at the Beach
We revisited a park we went to back in 2010. Believe it or not, almost the exact same day 10 years later! And when we came home I made this curried squash and apple soup. Why not try it? And head to the island now that the plovers are done doing their thing~
Two birthdays, a Hot Air Balloon Ride and a Tropical Escape
This post includes my memories of hot air ballooning with my mom and the adventure starts while I was booking the trip! And a delicious pie based on a recipe for Atlantic Beach pie, but taking advantage of the happy combination of lemon, mango, and pineapple, with a dash of coconut thrown in! And yes, it’s a saltine crust, be brave!
Blackstone River and Fields to Sing in!
We recently revisited Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park in Uxbridge, MA. After 10 years, it is still beautiful and a great place for family, friends and dogs to wander, enjoy the water, get some fresh air, and explore! I hope you agree.
National Lemonade Day and Lemonade Blackberry Roast Pork
Be brave and use lemonade! In my quest for lemon related recipes I got brave and used lemonade as the marinade and roasting liquid in this delicious roast pork recipe. It doesnt take too long, and you can use any mixture of vegetables you like. If you’re getting tired of the same old recipes, this one will definitely shake things up.
Odiorne Point State Park and the Best Blueberry Peach Crumble Ever!
Years ago we visited Odiorne Point State Park. We went back today to find that it’s even better than we remembered! And when we got home Beth and I baked a Blueberry Peach Crumble. The best ever! Looking for a new place to hike? Looking for a dessert perfect for all those berries you picked? This is it!
Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk Scones
We went blueberry picking at Parlee Farms and then I came home to create an amazing lemon blueberry scone recipe. Too bad it only makes twelve!
Lemon Apple Pie Chicken and Apple Sangria
I came up with this recipe while thinking about my old standby lemon chicken. But this new twist makes it a warmer, more comforting dish. Quick to put together and why not add my apple sangria on the side?
Moore State Park, still a great choice 10 years later
We revisited Moore State Park this weekend and although there was a lot of construction going on, and flowers were pretty much done, this park is always a beautiful, peaceful place to wander and connect with nature.
