Cooking Sunday dinner for my mother is of detrimental importance to yours truly. Perhaps it's my Latino culture that dictates this 'need' to keep my family close and happy. I'm fortunate that my mom lives 30 minutes down the road, but you know that real life makes that short distance seem like 300 miles most days of the week. Even though my mom has been a U.S. citizen for over 40 years, her palette is very much limited to Tex-Mex dishes and food. Needless to say, I like to expand her horizons. I've been enjoying the Cooking Channel's 'Extra Virgin' with Debi Mazaar and her husband Gabriele. This is his recipe for Tuscan beef with polenta and a side of green beans with cherry tomatoes. Truly, this was an easy meal to make, and not very expensive. Follow the links to the recipe for the beef and the green beans. For the polenta I simply purchased an already cooked roll, sliced it into medallions, and gently fried it over a bit of olive oil. Enjoy! | |||

As the title states, I'm a cook, not a chef, living in a small town. Cooking is my passion, and I like to pretend that I can cook as well as an Iron Chef or bake like Duff Goldman! Actually, I just want a place to share the food I love to make for my friends and family. I strive for good, delicious, simple comfort food :)
