Back in the Home Kitchen
Hi everyone! I realize that it has been a very long time since I posted on my page. Since October 18, 2017, to be exact. Where have I been you ask? Well, in November of 2017, I started making one of my lifetime dreams come true. I rented a restaurant space. It took me until February of 2018 to get it cleaned up and ready to open. I opened April’s Kitchen on February 22, 2018, and have been going non-stop....

Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken and Dumplings What is more delicious for a fall dinner than Chicken and Dumplings? The weather has gotten really cool here in Alabama. Since it is one of my daughter’s favorites meals, I decided today would be a perfect day to make it. The trick to making good dumplings is to not overwork the dough. These are drop style but you could flour a work surface and roll them and cut them out. Every time I make dumplings, I think of my sweet...

Electric Pressure Cooker Boston Butt
Electric Pressure Cooker Boston Butt I know, I know, I use my Electric Pressure Cooker for everything.

I started out making my Smoked and Slow Cooked Boston Butt Pulled Pork Sandwiches for a get-together at my cousin’s house. I had bought a Boston Butt yesterday spiced it up good and put it on the grill last night for several hours to get...

Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini
Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini If you liked my Kabak Dolmasi Stuffed Zucchini recipe, you are going to love my Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini recipe. Of course, the original recipe is great but this one is even better because you can prep it and forget it. Since I was using the electric pressure cooker pan, I used a potato to wedge the stuffed zucchini in place. While potato is not traditionally part of this dish, it sure made...

Köfte Sliders
Köfte Sliders Since my Homemade Burger Bun recipe turned out so great, I thought I would bake some of the dough into slider buns to change-up my Köfte routine. Normally, I just grill my Köfte and they are great like that with a little salad. These Köfte Sliders are so tasty and if you have small kids, they will love them. They are the perfect size for little hands. Try them out and let me know what you think. Afiyet olsun!...

Gruyère Asparagus Tart
Gruyère Asparagus Tart Have you ever tried to make homemade puff pastry? While it is not difficult to make, it is time-consuming because you have to chill the dough between each rolling. When I made it, I used a Martha Stewart recipe which can be found here. I adapted Martha’s recipe for Asparagus Gruyère Tart when I made my Gruyère Asparagus Tart recipe. Fresh From the Garden Asparagus I made this tart for our Easter dinner this year and it was...

Best Ever Moist Tender Roast Turkey
Al Best Ever Moist Tender Roast Turkey I love Thanksgiving. Really, really love Thanksgiving. Probably my favorite holiday of the year. I was looking back over my previous posts and realized two things. Number one is that November 13th was the three year anniversary of my website. Yaaaaayyyy!!!! Second is that in those three years, I have not made a post dedicated to Thanksgiving. I have been so wrapped up in cooking and enjoying my family and friends that by the time I...

Cast Iron Seared Sirloins
Cast Iron Seared Sirloins The final recipe in my Buy 1 Rump Roast Cook 3 Yummy Meal series is Cast Iron Seared Sirloins. While I will admit, this is not a filet mignon, it is a great steak on a budget. One of the keys to a good steak is making sure it is not ice cold when you cook it. Also you have to let it rest. And lastly, you need to cut it against the grain. Making...
