Grilled Jalapeno Poppers

 

Grilled Jalapeno Poppers

 

We had these super easy and super delicious poppers today for our 4th of July cookout.

 

5 jalapeno peppers

cream cheese

bacon

 

Cut peppers lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Fill with cream cheese and wrap in bacon. Put on rack on grill pan and grill until bacon is cooked and slightly crisp. These things are addictive!

 

Riverside Grill - Pocomoke, MD

 

Located in downtown Pocomoke on the river, Riverside Grill is a hidden gem. The food is fresh and delicious, the atmoshere is awesome and you'll  love the view of the river from the dining room or deck. We have eaten there numerous times, as well as having our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner there last May (which was held in the private dining room with access to the deck). The staff is very friendly and eager to make your visit at Riverside Grill worth coming back for. They have a large menu, as well as many delicious daily and nightly specials. Menu link HERE.

About:

 

Riverside Grill is a new restaurant & full service bar, which was built by the City of Pocomoke and is run by the Reeves family. Mark & Leslie Reeves bought their first restaurant, Market Street Inn, in 1989 where our build-your-own style of menu became popular.

These owner/operators took a brief break from the restaurant business from 2001 to 2007 to raise their children. They opened Back Street Grill in November of 2007, which they are still successfully operating and the customers enjoy the original check-off style menu and daily specials.

Riverside Grill is the sister restaurant of Back Street Grill in Salisbury, MD. We opened on July 9th, 2012 with an expanded version of the original menu. Our customers and we enjoy our waterfront views, which include indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a private room for parties

 

 

 

Striper Bites - Lewes, DE

During an overnight birthday get-away in Lewes, DE a few weeks ago, we had a chance to have dinner at Striper Bites. I had read tons of restaurant reviews before going, and after narrowing it down to a few that looked really good, I chose Striper Bites for my birthday dinner.

 

 

 

 

I love the decor and the atmosphere there, and the service was very good.

 

 

 

Peter ordered the Seared Tuna app....

Seared rare with sesame 5-spice crust over crispy wontons, served with spicy mayo, seaweed salad, wasabi, pickled ginger, & soy glaze

 

 

For his entree', he chose the special of the day from the fresh fish board:

 

Blackened Halibut w/Lemon Butter Buerre Blanc and mashed potatoes and salad.

 

 

 

He said everything was delicious!

 

 

 I decided on the Crab Bisque, which was very good.....

 

and I knew I was going to get the Lobster Roll before we ever got there.
I had one at Boardwalk Bakery in WDW last month that was out-of-this-world good and I was ready to try another. I also ordered my usual caesar salad.

 

 

While it was good, this lobster roll wasn't quite as good as the one I had in Disney....good....just not Disney good. Of course, we were too stuffed for dessert....next time maybe!

 

Overall, we were both pleased with our meal at Striper Bites and definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Lewes, DE.

 

 

Striper Bites is rated #11 of 79 restaurants by TripAdvisor.

Stuffed Mushrooms (Olive Garden copycat)

I picked up some nice mushrooms a few days ago with a recipe in mind.

I had Olive Garden's Stuffed Mushrooms when Peter and I ordered take-out on Valentine's Day (post here). They were soooo good, I just had to give them a try at home. I found the copycat recipe online and made them for dinner tonight.

 

Stuffed Mushrooms

(an Olive Garden copycat recipe)

Ingredients:

 

8-12 fresh mushrooms - remove stems/wipe off with a damp paper towel

 

6 clams - minced/drained-reserve 1/4 cup juice

(you can substitute a 6 oz. can if you can't get fresh clams)

 

2 T. minced onion

(recipe calls for green onion, but I substituted)

 

1/2 t. minced garlic

(I always use minced garlic in a jar)

1/8 t. garlic salt

 

1 T. melted butter

 

1 t. oregano

 

1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs

 

 

Don't you love these Pier1 measuring cups? Hand-me-downs from Mom. I love odd measuring cups! :O)

 

Okay, back to the recipe......

 

1 egg- beaten

 

2 T. grated parmesan

1 T. grated romano

2 T. grated mozzarella

 

I actually substitued and used what I had on hand - 3 T. grated fresh parmesan and 1 T. grated parmesan in a canister for the stuffing.

 

1/4 cup melted butter

 

1/4 cup grated mozzarella (I used swiss since I had it on hand)

 

parsely - for garnish

 

Directions:

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray baking dishes with pan spray.
• Remove stems from mushrooms and wipe off with a damp paper towel.
• Combine clams, onion, garlic, garlic salt, butter, and oregano in a bowl and mix well.
• Add bread crumbs, egg, and clam juice mixing together well.
• Add cheese to stuffing and mix well.
• Spoon stuffing into each mushroom cap and slightly mound.
• Place stuffed mushrooms into baking dishes and drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter. (I also topped with a little swiss)
• Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Grate a little fresh parmesan on top and garnish with parsely.
