A lot of our most favorite recipes at CPM come from having been too broke or too unwilling to go back to the store for that one more thing. So there have been plenty of times we’ve had to make what we need out of what we already have on hand. Call it our own … Continue reading

It’s corn season! I patiently wait all winter for the corn to come back. This recipe could probably work with frozen corn but please, get the good stuff before November rolls around again. The butter recipe makes quite a bit but it keeps well in the fridge for a very long time. And, once you … Continue reading
You’re gonna love this tart! It starts with tart, Granny Smith apples and caramel bits, then finishes in nothing but crumbs. It’s also a great make-ahead, party dish. Bake your tart ahead of time, then pop it in the oven for a few minutes when guests arrive. It pairs well with wine and brie. Maybe … Continue reading

I remember years ago when microwaveable French bread pizza was all the rave. But the thought of microwaving pizza, or any bread for that matter, makes me cringe just a little. I don’t even reheat pizza in the microwave. Microwaving always seems to turn perfectly good pizza into a sad, rubber crusted, weirdly textured cheese, … Continue reading

This is a simple, flavorful way to cook shrimp for your next back yard BBQ. And, since it is on a stick, no plates required! Trish’s Lime … Continue reading
We like our lamb chops A LOT, but when they make $5 Friday special, we LOOOOOVVVVE them. (I can barely buy ground beef for that price.) Not only did my local Safeway have $5 Friday lamb loin chops, they also had 30% off lamb rib chops. Perfect for a Fast Food Friday. The whole dish, … Continue reading
