Pumpkin Rice

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

Oh yeah! It is Fall. This is my favorite season of the year. The leaves begin to change color, its the perfect weather to take a long hike, and it is PUMPKIN season!  I am a pumpkin fiend. Well, I’m a weird pumpkin fiend. I love pumpkin food, but I don’t like pumpkin pie or…

Pumpkin Pasta with Sausage

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

I’m at it again. Well, honestly, once you make one pumpkin dish, you need to make a second since the pumpkin puree can is so large! Wine pairing suggestions: White – Pinot Grigio, crisp Chardonnay, Riesling from Alsace Red – Syrah, lighter Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Malbec

Pasta Carbonara

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

This is one of my favorite meals to make. It is so simple and quick to pull together and it is always a crowd pleaser.  Another fantastic thing about this meal, is that it is super easy to modify the amount of ingredients to make it as a single serving or for a full family….

Bacon and Spinach Quiche

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

I love quiche! I actually never have it for breakfast or brunch, it is a main dinner meal for me. It is great even on a weeknight because it is easy to through together. Now, if you were going to make this dish for brunch, a mimosa would be outstanding! But as a dinner dish,…

Po-Quiche

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

I honestly have no idea what to call this recipe! I wanted to make something for a brunch and I saw a lot of recipes that were quiches. I thought to myself, “Well, yeah, quiche. Everybody has quiche for brunch.” I don’t like being one among numbers. I am a Sagittarius through and through and…

Southwestern Chimichanga

Byexploringthewineglass August 19, 2022

We were in the mood for some “Mexican” food but Fresno being way too hot in the summer to turn the oven on, I opted for an alternative. A little less healthy, but still all the yumminess. Be aware that you need to place the Chimichangas in the freezer for about an hour prior to…
