It’s an old Danish tradition to eat warm Hveder Thursday evening before Store Bededag (Big Prayer Day), which is on the fourth Friday after Easter (May 4th 2012). Store Bededag was introduced in 1686 to consolidate the number of prayer days that could otherwise be used as productive working days. The tradition is from a [...]

Stuffed Pasta Shells
Posted in Comfort food, Italien, Main course, tagged marinara, mozzarella, parmigiano-reggiano, pasta, ricotta, stuffed shells on April 9, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I love stuffed pasta, actually I love anything pasta. But if the pasta is stuffed with just cheese, I am not a fan. So I like to mix something else in with that cheese, in this case, some spicy sausage and lots of fresh basil. The basil gives a wonderful flavor, and the spicy sausage [...]
Hardy Carrot Soup With Tomatoes
Posted in Comfort food, Lunch, Main course, Soup, tagged carrot, pesto, soup, stock, tomato, Virginia Beach on February 27, 2012 | 11 Comments »
What’s up with the weather in Virginia Beach? So far, winter has been unusually mild and the most snow we have gotten is a few flurries which literally melted within a couple of hours. It never ceases to amaze me how the weather here changes all the time. It’s been fluctuating between 70 degrees and [...]
Penne Pasta with Shrimp

I had a craving for pasta and shrimp but didn’t want Shrimp Scampi since we had that not too long ago. Then i remembered this pasta dish which I have been meaning to try out. I made some adjustment to fit my likings and it turned out really good. The flavors are mild, a little [...]
Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes! I completely forgot about Sloppy Joes! That was until we were visiting my sister in-law Linda, and her husband John was making Sloppy Joes for a football party and the aroma filling the house was simply amazing. I have not had this dish for many, many years. Probably not since Nicholas was a very little boy and [...]

Posted in Danish, Lunch, Main course, Sauce, tagged bechamel, Danish, dansk, leverpostej, liver, liver pate, Lunch, pate, rugbrød, sandwich, sauce on January 2, 2012 | 16 Comments »
Making Danish Liver Pate probably got me more excited than any other recipe I have had the pleasure to blog about. You absolutely must experience a warm, home-made Liver Pate. Fresh out of the oven, served with fried mushrooms and bacon or topped with some wonderful pickled beets. This is actually the first time I [...]
Shrimp and Feta Cheese Quiche
Posted in Appetizers, Main course, Seafood, Side dish, tagged cheese, eggs, feta, half-and-half, pepper, pie, quiche, red, roashed, shrimp, tart on October 31, 2011 | 9 Comments »
This recipe is from an old Everyday magazine. I had made this quiche a couple of times and my guests always loved it. It’s the kind of quiche that dissappears from the pie dish in no time at all. Then I lost the magazine and I tried to recreate it from memory but something was missing. I [...]
Pot Roast

Fall has finally arrived and the temperatures here in Virginia are so much more comfortable. We have gotten quite a bit of rain lately, which I love, and with the gloomy dark skies comes a desire for comfort food. And Pot Roast is just that. Inhaling the sweet aroma while the roast is cooking and tasting the delicious [...]
Lasagna With Sausage And Spinach
Posted in Comfort food, Italien, Main course, tagged lasagna, sausage, spinach on June 13, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Lasagna is one of my son’s all-time favorite dishes, mine as well. But then again, I’ll eat any type of pasta, anytime. The thing about Lasagna is that it’s a time-consuming dish, so lately when I make it, I make two dishes and freeze one. You want to make sure you freeze the assembled Lasagna before it [...]
