Here is an awesome recipe for Robin’s Icebox Lox. It can also be found in the recipe file above. We had this for breakfast this morning. Yum!

Oh yum! This is going to be a delicious day! Robin made these
Add some delicious Honey Blueberry Sausage and it’s a wonderful breakfast. What did you have?
And then for dinner tonight I am making this Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze. The recipe suggests the wines to have with the dinner and a side.

Oh my, but this was a great dinner. I asked Robin this morning what she wanted for dinner and to my surprise she said steak. I was looking for a New York Strip steak or a Delmonico but could not find either one. So I got to very nice Rib-Eye steaks. And this was a perfect chance to try Sandi’s Ranch Dressing on a green salad. It replaces the original Ranch Dressing. This one has avocado and Greek yogurt. Very good. But here are two photos of the dinner. Then add to the dinner a fantastic glass of 2011 Ravenswood Winery Petite Sirah and you have an awesome dinner. I will post the salad dressing recipe tomorrow – it is also on my Facebook page. [Sandi’s Ranch Dressing. PDF format] Gut essen!

Oh my! When the Acme Bake Shop Rye was delivered – yes, we have it delivered to our front door! – it was still warm. Time for lunch after I slice the loaf. How is this for a delicious rye panini?

We had some blueberries and Snake River peaches that we had to eat. So, make some waffles, some fried eggs, bacon and Mrs Butterworths. Probably not the healthiest, but still good. Here are the plates. Enjoy!!
Robin did not want eggs or Mrs Butterworth’s, so just pure maple syrup, unsalted butter and fruit on her waffles.
I had the fruit, waffles with Mrs Butterworth’s and unsalted butter, fried eggs and bacon. That will probably do me until dinner tonight with a very light snack this afternoon.

OK. It’s been two weeks since I have been in the kitchen. Withdrawl!! Back to the comfort of our awesome kitchen. What to make. It’s Sunday morning – I usually make some special breakfast. OK. Just got fresh eggs from Meadowlark Farms in Nampa, ID. We have some ham and Robin bought some fresh English Muffins. We have lemon and cayenne and unsalted butter. How about Eggs Benedict? Sounds good to me. Make the Hollandaise from scratch with Russ’ recipe for Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce. And as long as it has taken me to write this, I could have made another batch. It’s that easy and that good! The recipe is also held permanently in the Boise Foodie Blog Recipes above. Here is the result of about 20 minutes in the kitchen. Yum-O!

Such fun to make these. We had some Idaho trout and some Crown Roast of Lamb “left-over” and we had to use it. Here is what we did. The trout was left-over from the TVWS wine tasting and the lamb was the last that Brook, our neighbor, bought us for Christmas. Not difficult and very good. You can get the recipe for the Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce by clicking the hotlink or finding it in the recipe file at the top of this page. This Hollandaise is so very easy to make and only takes 5 minutes at best. Try it. Enjoy!

I thought this Statehouse Oyster Chowder was pretty good. Robin is not an oyster fanatic. I’m not a “fanatic”, but I do like them ever so often. Tonight, at 30 degrees and the inversion setting up, it tasted good and it was a treat to a cold body. If you would like the recipe, it is linked above. Thanks to my sister Peggy for sharing this.
Serve this with either a 2012 Ste Chapelle Special Harvest Riesling – Idaho Snake River AVA – or a 2012 Joseph Swan Vineyards Gewurztraminer, preferred, and you will have an awesome dinner on a cold, winter’s night. Enjoy the chowder. We did! Cheers. (Wonder if my Dad would have put Sherry in it. Hmmmm.)

Some where on FaceBook a while ago, I saw this unique idea for holding a recipe “out of the way” while you are trying to create a dish. Easy enough to do and as you can see here, we have more than one in our kitchen. Give it a try. You’ll like it. (Mikey did!)
Recipe holder made from “skirt” hangers. Hang them where you are working and they are out of the way.

It’s not as if there was not enough for everyone to eat. There was plenty!! In a previous post on this blog, Christmas 2013 Dinner Prep, I posted some photos of the Rib-Eye being prepared and I also posted the recipe for the roast. This was not a standard cooking time. But it turned out terrific! Look at the recipe. And check out this “neat” tree ornament that Sophia made for Marnie and Mac. Great idea, as we are all Ravenswood Winery enthusiasts, as Robin helped to start it back in the mid 1970’s. Here are some photos of the dinner. Enjoy ….. We did!
Rib-Eye Roast. It was awesome. Done to perfection, tender and juicy. Thank you Homestead Farms for such a great roast!!
Ready to be served.
Dried Corn and Twice Baked Potatoes. Marnie did a great job on the variation to the potatoes.
Marnie and Mac enjoy the dinner.
Sophia and Chris
Margaret and Robin. It looks like everyone liked what they were eating. I did!
Robin’s first time at making marshmallow. These were terrific!!
Marnie made this great Pear and Almond Tarte. Beautiful colors.
Robin made the Linder Walnut Raspberry Torte. Another yummy!
And the candle started to go dim and the tree lights are subdued. The end of the day and a very great Christmas. Thank-You one and all! Cheers!
