Okay, okay. We know it’s disappointing. But we’re taking off this week… and we’ll be on holiday the following… then it’s Easter.

So… check the website… look for new recipes… new fun stuff added as frequently as time allows.

And – have a great recipe? Send it our way! We’ll get it posted… and give you credit (if you want!).

Thanks!

We made this on the Show on March 22… and we made it vegan with vegan cheese – that’s the only “maybe” item.

HUGE hit… we loved it and will be making it again.

Ingredients:
4 Portobello Mushroom Caps
1/2 (8 ounce) bottle Italian Salad Dressing
1 (14 oz) jar Marinara (we used Wintertime Recipe found on this site)
1 (7 oz) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and sliced
8 slices mozzarella cheese (vegan or real)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil

1. Place mushrooms in large re-sealable plastic bag with the salad dressing. Seal and marinate for at least 15 minutes (note – can use re-usable plastic or other, too).

2. Preheat grill for medium high heat. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat and keep warm.

3. Oil the grill grate. Place the mushrooms on the grill and cook for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until lightly toasted.

4. Preheat the oven broiler. Spread the bottom of a shallow baking dish or oven-proof plate with just enough marinara sauce to cover the bottom. Place mushrooms in the dish, bottom side up, and top with the peppers and remaining marinara sauce. Place 2 slices of cheese on each mushroom… and sprinkle with oregano and basil.

5. Broil for 3 to five minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve hot.

Hope to See you online!

I like cooking with gadgets and tools and toys – that work, that make sense, and that don’t add unnecessary clutter. We’ve put together a list of items either used in our test kitchen – or similar to those used. We’ll continue to grow this list. See something you like? I don’t think you’ll find it cheaper… but check it out!

Okay… every kitchen needs great knives, a variety of bowls, a Blend-Tec, a KitchenAid Professional Mixer, and All-Clad Cookware.

But there’s something else. And it’s a LOT cheaper.

It looks like this (this one is from Williams Sonoma.. a FAVORITE store of mine):

It’s about 30 bucks.. and it turns DICING ANYTHING into the easiest thing ever. Get consistent, perfect sized diced whatever… even measures it for you!

You can see it on their site – by clicking here

Check it out… and pick one up. You’ll be glad you did.

If you don’t have one… BUY one! This chopper is used NEARLY every time I cook.

There are many brands out there… and they’re all pretty good. Look for one that’s easy to assemble – and DISHWASHER SAFE!

You can buy them at Target, at Publix and most grocery stores… and Pampered Chef has a great one.

But if you don’t have one – buy one. Today.

Here’s a link to one at Target
Here’s the one at Pampered Chef (this is the one I have – it’s fantastic)

Buy one today – you’ll use it every time you cook.
