Greek Lemon Potatoes

These Greek Lemon Potatoes are so good, crisp, and tangy. Anything with lemons in the title is worth making, as far as I am concerned. They are made with potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Rosemary, thyme, and parsley. The potatoes are roasted until they are golden brown and tender, and the lemon juice gives them a bright and tangy flavor. This would pair well with some breaded chicken breasts and a salad.

Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola and Arugula Salad

My husband created this absolutely delicious Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola, and Arugula Salad. The sweet figs, salty pistachios, creamy Gorgonzola, and peppery arugula are all perfectly balanced in this salad, and the balsamic dressing adds a touch of acidity that really brings everything together. It's such a great combination of flavors. We used to have a huge fig tree at our old house and miss it terribly.

Marinade for Beef

 

This Marinade for Beef is really good. Marinades do two basic things to meat: they tenderize and enhance flavor. The acid in the marinade helps to break down the connective tissue and adds even more fabulous flavor.

Balsamic Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

A portobello mushroom is really just a brown crimini mushroom. Marinating them in balsamic vinegar takes them to a whole new level. Balsamic Grilled Portobello Mushrooms are a must try.

Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade

These Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade are perfect for the grill. The marinade is made with a combination of miso, sake, mirin, yuzu kosho, scallions, and sesame oil, which gives the pork chops a rich and complex flavor. The yuzu kosho adds a bit of heat and brightness, while the miso and sake give the pork chops a deep umami flavor. My guests went crazy for these.

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu is a delicious salad, though I will admit a bit time consuming. Pressing all the liquid out of the tofu, then marinating and roasting it, makes this dish so flavorful.
