Day trip to Poulsbo WA today a cute little viking town.You feel like you to a little visit to Norway. We always stop at Sluy's Bakery when in Poulsbo and it never disappoints. The question is what am I not going to buy.

Old fashioned cranberry buttermilk bread. Yummy but missing something. I used all-purpose flour, cornmeal, buttermilk,egg, butter and cranberries. It was good but I wanted the texture and little smoother. What am I doing wrong? I don't use cornmeal too often.

Let's make some yummy side dishes for our Italian Parmesan Crusted Baked Chicken. Tonight it's two easy sides to make while the chicken is baking. Vermicelli with chicken stock and seasoning. Also a side salad with baby spinach and cherry tomatoes from my local farm stand. I garnished the salad with some slices of Parmesan Reggiano....oh so good!

No Boring Burgers Tonight! It's taco Burgers for a nice change up. I added about 2 to 3 tbsp of taco seasoning to ground beef and a pinch of cayenne. I also added some taco seasoning to a bit of mayo and sour cream for a tasty sauce to put on the hamburger buns. We layered pour Burgers with our favorite toppings. A side salad and some cheesey refried beans. Very good! #

Blackberry Lemon Sauce. Testing out a new recipe and it was fabulous! Maybe a few little adjustments. I cooked up some tri tip steaks at medium well and added the sauce. The ingredients for the sauce was onion, white wine, chicken stock, lemon zest, lemon juice, blackberries. Ask what the extra ingredient was that I added for that special kick. I can't wait to make this again.
