- [Spatchcock Chicken with Bread Salad](https://therockymountainwoman.com/spatchcock-chicken-with-bread-salad/) - This chicken is based loosely on Zuni Kitchen's famous roast chicken. It's spatchcocked instead of roasted whole and the bread salad is simplified. I love it this way. The chicken stays moist and tender and the salad has a crunchy top and a moist interior.

- [Elk Swedish Meatballs](https://therockymountainwoman.com/elk-swedish-meatballs/) - These Elk Swedish Meatballs were the best thing I've made in a long time. They were rich and flavorful, and so very easy to make. You could, of course, substitute venison or even ground beef, but the elk works so well in this recipe, that if you have some in the freezer, use it!
- [Whiskey Sour with Blackberry Shrub](https://therockymountainwoman.com/whiskey-sour-with-blackberry-shrub/) - If there is anything better than a whiskey sour at the end (or middle) of a long day, it's a whiskey sour with some tart blackberry shrub mixed in to liven things up.

- [Vanilla Bean CremE Brulee](https://therockymountainwoman.com/vanilla-bean-creme-brulee/) - Creme Brulee' is hands down my very favorite dessert. The crunch, the cream, the sweet perfection of it is unbeatable in my opinion. I don't make it very often because when I do I can't stop until they are all eaten, but I had family staying with me who would be more than willing to
- [Old Fashioned Sticky Buns](https://therockymountainwoman.com/old-fashioned-sticky-buns/) - My first real job was as an insurance adjuster in a small town in Pennsylvania.

- [How to Cook Pheasant in a Pressure Cooker](https://therockymountainwoman.com/how-to-cook-pheasant-in-a-pressure-cooker/) - In my opinion, the best way to cook pheasant is in a pressure cooker. Pheasant has wonderful flavor, but can be tough so it is a natural for the pressure cooker which preserves the flavor and juices, but makes it tender. I've cooked it different ways over the years, but this is my go

It was absolutely amazing! It looks harder than it is,
- [Rack of Lamb](https://therockymountainwoman.com/rack-of-lamb/) - I don't make rack of lamb very often because it's kind of pricey, but if you are trying to impress someone, this is definitely the way to go!

- [Ina's Shortbread](https://therockymountainwoman.com/inas-shortbread/) - There are two things in the kitchen I have a morbid fear of - box graters and rolling out cookie dough.

- [New England Clam Chowder](https://therockymountainwoman.com/new-england-clam-chowder/) - Most purists are horrified about making clam chowder with canned clams. I'm not one of those people.

- [Clam Chowder](https://therockymountainwoman.com/24712-2/) - I came home from Oregon with a couple of large cans of diced clams.

- [Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta](https://therockymountainwoman.com/brussel-sprouts-with-pancetta/) - Brussel Sprouts are one of those love them or hate them vegetables. That all changes when you add a little bit of pancetta, one of the better products to come from that magical animal, the pig.

I know it looks a bit messy, but it's a lovely, comforting mess and if you will trust me

- [Whiskey Beef Bruschetta](https://therockymountainwoman.com/whiskey-beef-bruschetta/) - There are people in my life who would probably think that marinating beef in whiskey is sacrilegious. Although I like a Whiskey Sour or an Old Fashioned once in a while, whiskey isn't really my thing. I'm much more of wine gal, in case you hadn't noticed. So, if you aren't one of those people
- [BLACKBERRY SHRUB COCKTAIL](https://therockymountainwoman.com/blackberry-shrub-cocktail/) - I had planned on trying to make some shrubs this summer, but never quite got around to it.

- [Apple Tarte Tatin](https://therockymountainwoman.com/apple-tarte-tatin/) - Apple Tarte Tatin is a simple, seasonal French dessert, created by the Tatin sisters who served it in their hotel about a hundred miles west of Paris.

- [Panzanella - the best way to eat heirloom tomatoes](https://therockymountainwoman.com/panzanella-the-best-way-to-eat-heirloom-tomatoes/) - This is hands down the very best way to eat Heirloom Tomatoes.

- [Phelps Creek Vineyard Chardonnay](https://therockymountainwoman.com/phelps-creek-vineyard-chardonnay/) - To me, this is a wonderful sipping wine for late at night, on the deck or patio, in the middle of summer.

- [HAD - Horse Addiction Disorder - It's a real disease!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/had-horse-addiction-disorder-its-a-real-disease/) - HAD (Horse Addiction Disorder) refers to the psychological dependence on equines. Unfortunately there is no known cure for this condition as deprivation is likely to lead to the sufferers actively seeking and/or approaching random equines. Not only could this pose potential dangers to the individual, but this behavior inevitably reinforces the sufferer's obsession with horses.
- [Jasper Hill Shiraz](https://therockymountainwoman.com/jasper-hill-shiraz/) - In my never ending quest for great wines with cute labels, (it has a unicorn for Pete's sake) may I present Jasper Hill Shiraz!

- [You Must See this Movie](https://therockymountainwoman.com/you-must-see-this-movie/) - I first saw this at the Sundance Film Festival. It's hands down the best movie I've seen in a long time. It's the story of Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit born musician who writes soulful, amazing songs and eventually is "discovered". His album bombs in the US. In South Africa, however, it is a different story.
- [Snoqualmie Sauvignon Blanc](https://therockymountainwoman.com/snoqualmie-sauvignon-blanc/) - In my never ending quest to find good inexpensive wines with great labels, I happened upon this Sauvignon Blanc. It's crisp and citrusy (is that a word?) with a little oak, nice for the price! If you happen to be a Twin Peaks geek (like me), it also has some very interesting undertones of murder!
- [Beaulieu Vineyard Coastal Estates Pinot Noir](https://therockymountainwoman.com/beaulieu-vineyard-coastal-estates-pinot-noir/) - This wine doesn't have a cute label! Don't let that stop you from buying it though. It's a balanced, fruity pinot with a hint of vanilla and a nice long finish. I wouldn't call it my very favorite Pinot Noir ever, but for the price, I don't think you can go wrong. I'm thinking lamb!
- [Blood, Bones & Butter](https://therockymountainwoman.com/blood-bones-butter/) - For food obsessed folks like me, this kind of book is pure gold. It not only satisfies my desire to learn more about and immerse myself in my favorite subject, food, it is also a memoir of outstanding value in its own right. It is gritty at times,profane at others, honest to a fault, funny
- [Ten Ways Food Blogging Has Changed My Life](https://therockymountainwoman.com/ten-ways-food-blogging-has-changed-my-life/) - Last weekend my littlest grandson came to visit me. While I made dinner, he was "helping" me by stirring, giving advice and general and assorted harassment.

- [An Everlasting Meal](https://therockymountainwoman.com/an-everlasting-meal/) - I read "An Everlasting Meal" when I was on vacation this summer. Actually I inhaled this book. If you are just looking for recipes, this book is probably not for you. However, if you are looking for a new way to look at cooking and food in general, this book can be life changing. It's
- [Barn Kids](https://therockymountainwoman.com/barn-kids/) - Early evening at the barn seems to be the best time to play on the horse walker!

- [Unprejudiced Palate](https://therockymountainwoman.com/unprejudiced-palate-a-giveaway/) - "The Unprejudiced Palate," written by Andrew Pellegrini before I was born (so basically a long long long time ago), is a timely reminder to slow down and enjoy food and life. It was one of those books that when I finished it, I was sad because there was no more to read, no more to
- [Rutabaga](https://therockymountainwoman.com/rutabaga/) - When I was a little girl I spent a LOT of time at my grandmother's house lurking around her kitchen watching her cook. Every Sunday, she made dinner for the whole family. Typically it was cooked to death roast beef (she was British), mashed potatoes, rutabaga, corn, salad, pie and homemade ice cream. My favorite
- [Tequila Cocktail](https://therockymountainwoman.com/tequila-cocktail/) - Tequila and I have had a long and difficult relationship. We met when I was in my twenties and for a while we were BFFs. I was living in South Florida at the time, and I didn't really like beer back then which was what everyone else drank, so tequila with lime became my go
- [Oregon!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/oregon/) - I spent the first week of July in a rented beach house in Rockaway Beach, OR with my family. I watched a weiner dog race DSC_0121 click here to watch This cute little guy tumbled for us while we were waiting for the dogs to get their running shorts on, he was really good! I

- [Moose on the Loose!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/moose-on-the-loose/) - Late in the day yesterday I had two cute huge visitors. I see all kinds of wildlife up here, but rarely see a moose. So it was a treat to see this sweet Mama and her teenaged calf. The orange water spigot you see is the water source for my someday future dream barn. In
- [Grandma's Eggs - with a little help from Harry & David](https://therockymountainwoman.com/grandmas-eggs-with-a-little-help-from-harry-david/) - My grandmother "put up" pints and pints of chili sauce every year. I loved it! She would fry some hamburger, dump a jar of chili sauce on it and pour it over homemade bread for lunch, or mix it in cream cheese and serve it with chips (don't judge, I was five years old). Anyway,
- [Chill This!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/chill-this/) - After trying lots and lots of different whites (the things I do for you!), I think I have found my new inexpensive, every day summer white. It's really crisp and clean tasting with notes of fruit and of course, the name and label are cute (which is very important in a summer wine). It's my
- [The Language of Flowers](https://therockymountainwoman.com/the-language-of-flowers/) - A sweet story of how love can reclaim a person's spirit, written with sensitivity, passion and understanding. I found myself cheering for the flawed main character to heal, and identifying with her adoptive mother Elizabeth, who was determined she would heal. I've always felt that feeding people is the ultimate way to show love. When
- [Grilled Asparagus](https://therockymountainwoman.com/grilled-asparagus/) - I love making this in the summer when I grill meat outdoors.

I bought three bottles and have served all three with various menus with great success. VERY food friendly
- [A Visitor This Morning](https://therockymountainwoman.com/a-visitor-this-morning-2/) - My little grandson is staying with me for a few days. Yesterday, he came running in the house to tell me that we had a chicken in the front yard. Some of my neighbors have chickens, so it isn't a big deal to see one in the yard now and again. I said something along
- [Catherine](https://therockymountainwoman.com/catherine/) - If you happen to be a history junkie like me and if you also actually happen to be a Russian history junkie (like me also), this book is for you....

- [Unbroken](https://therockymountainwoman.com/unbroken/) - I bought this because I loved the first book by this author, Seabiscuit. Although the writing in this wasn't quite as good (IMHO) as it was in Seabiscuit, Ms. Hillenbrand has again found a completely compelling true story to tell. Louie Zamperini was an Olympic class runner whose life was blessed with an amazing

- [The Morning After - Corned Beef Hash](https://therockymountainwoman.com/the-morning-after/) - My favorite part of making corned beef is making hash for breakfast the next day.

I find it easier to relax, think and just breathe where I can hear the waves. So I packed up and drove to Oregon, my spirit home. I started to feel better
- [Dry Creek Fume Blanc](https://therockymountainwoman.com/dry-creek-fume-blanc/) - I loved this wine! It's crisp, with a undertone of acidity that's well balanced. It's everything I love in Sauvignon Blanc and there's lots to love! I had it with popcorn for dinner last night. It had been a long day, I didn't want to cook, wasn't really hungry and this combo was comforting and
- [Copain Rose'](https://therockymountainwoman.com/copain-rose/) - In my never ending quest to find good wines for you to try, I took a Rose' tasting class. I know, I know, the things I do for you guys! The Rose' section of this website is sadly lacking, so I need to get out there and drink some Rose! The class was fun
- [Moscow Mule](https://therockymountainwoman.com/moscow-mule/) - Trader Joe's opened a store not far from my office and I'm quite pleased about it. "Quite Pleased" translates into jumping up and down and going there every single day the first week they were open! I am Trader Joe's target customer. They seriously came up with the concept for their stores with me in
- [Nice Trip to Tahoe](https://therockymountainwoman.com/nice-trip-to-tahoe/) - I didn't eat anywhere amazing or have a great adventure (except for a bear getting into our garbage), but my family and I took a quick trip to Tahoe. It's a gorgeous place to visit. We rented paddle boards and kayaks and spent a few days on the lake. We played board games and cards
- [Les Rocailles Rose](https://therockymountainwoman.com/les-rocailles-rose/) - A nice light Saturday Sipping Wine, Les Rocailles Rose Vin De Savoie is a dry Rose with berry notes and a crisp feel. It goes down easy in hot weather and is great for patio or deck sipping while the chicken cooks on the grill. I really liked this one!
- [Fried Tomatoes for Breakfast!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/fried-tomatoes-for-breakfast/) - For a while, an older Greek gentleman ran a restaurant in the town next to mine. I went there for breakfast all the time, not because the food was amazing (it was amazing), but because every omelette and plate of eggs came with a side of fried red tomatoes. I've eaten a LOT of
- [Waterbrook Melange](https://therockymountainwoman.com/waterbrook-melange/) - I know, I know, I know, the label isn't cute at all - no animals or classic rock references... But put this on your "to try" list anyway, because it's good! Clean fruit flavor, well balanced tannins - a great wine to sip on a spring night on the deck... trust me...
- [Best Sweet Potato Casserole](https://therockymountainwoman.com/best-sweet-potato-casserole/) - My family loves this! I make it every year.... For the topping: 1 cup flour 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 t salt 1 t ground cinnamon 1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 cup toasted chopped pecans For the sweet potatoes: 5 lbs sweet potatoes 1/4 cup milk 2 t
- [Left Over Pork Quesadillas](https://therockymountainwoman.com/left-pork-quesadillas/) - The best thing about making a big pork roast on the weekend is you can eat all kinds of lovely leftovers for a few days. This is one of my favorites. Raw flour tortillas Black beans, rinsed Fresh cilantro Queso Fresco Left over pork from Sunday Dinner Serve with salsa on the side.... I make
- [GEARHART!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/gearhart/) - I have fallen in love... Not with anything as ordinary as a man or even a horse or a new puppy...no, gentle friends, I have fallen in love with a town. I pulled in here in the late afternoon and stopped at this little collection of cottages called Gearhart Ocean Inn. Lucky for me, they
- [It's Not My Fault!](https://therockymountainwoman.com/its-not-my-fault-2/) - So, I had every intention of either driving down into lovely Arizona for a day or so (Hi Jenny), or maybe going to Vegas and hitting a few blackjack tables, taking in a few shows, dancing on a few tables....but my truck, well, my truck has a mind of it's own. My truck decided that
- [Ocean](https://therockymountainwoman.com/ocean/) - This house has been haunting me. It is completely irrational, but true. Actually, this entire town is haunting me. Haunting? Get it? Halloween? I'm not sure if it's the town or the ocean or the house, but something is calling me. I want to collect razor clams on the beach and cook them for dinner.
- [Central California Coast](https://therockymountainwoman.com/central-california-coast/) - I enjoyed my trip to the Coast. I feel energized, happy and ready to take on winter. I visited a few wineries, played golf a few times, but mostly I just drove up 101 until I saw a beautiful beach and then walked along it with my camera and a book. It was perfect! There
- [Simply Naked Unoaked Chardonnay](https://therockymountainwoman.com/simply-naked-unoaked-chardonnay/) - Ok, I have mixed feelings about this wine. At the end of the summer sometimes I get a little tired of my old standby Sauvignon Blanc. I saw this in the wine store and it had a cute label, and you know I can't pass up a cute label! If you like nice buttery Chardonnays
- [Hook & Ladder - Station 10](https://therockymountainwoman.com/hook-ladder-station-10/) - I loved this! It's got definite blackberry undertones, very fruity, well balanced tannins - excellent!!! It would be wonderful paired with a hearty stew or roast, but I sipped mine while reading in front of the fireplace with some cheese and crackers and enjoyed every drop. This post is in honor of the letter "H"
- [The Kitchn Cookbook](https://therockymountainwoman.com/kitchn-cookbook/) - I took a cooking class from The Kitchn last fall. There were a series of lessons that you read, one a day, and then a homework assignment. Not multiplication tables or spelling words, but things like this and this It was interesting and I was surprised by how much an old hand like me learned.
- [Masked Rider Cabernet Sauvignon](https://therockymountainwoman.com/masked-rider-cabernet-sauvignon/) - This sign that hangs in my stairwell is somehow related to this story... see the connection? If I had a winery, I would totally steal this idea! Given the fact that there is very little chance of me ever owning a winery, they're probably safe... They have a wine called Gun Smoke Red! How cool
- [Orphan Train](https://therockymountainwoman.com/the-orphan-train/) - The Orphan Train is a sweet, often sad story of a unique friendship between two very different people who find themselves by finding each other. Orphan Trains operated in the late 1800’s early 1900’s as a way to move orphaned or abandoned children out of crowded cities by well intentioned Children’s Aid Societies. Some were
