Panzanella Salad is simple and fresh with vine ripened tomatoes, olives, cucumber, peppers, basil, rustic bread and red wine vinaigrette. This salad will make you feel like you’re sitting on a patio in Italy. To get the full effect, make sure to use fresh ingredients and enjoy outside on a sunny evening with a martini or a glass of wine. I like to pair this salad with a grilled thin cut ribeye steak. The combination of grilled steak with fresh tomatoes, basil, cucumbers and olives dressed in olive oil and red wine vinegar is fabulous already. Add rustic bread cubes that are still crusty around the edges but soft and…

Country Style Potatoes are thick sliced yellow potatoes fried in bacon fat for an extra crispy crust with red pepper, jalapeno and onion. These are my go-to potatoes for weekend breakfast. I love how the bacon fat really crisps up the outside of the potato. Plus, it adds so much flavor. If you don’t store your bacon fat in the fridge like I do, just cook a few pieces of bacon in the pan, leave the fat and continue with recipe. Sometimes I even leave the bacon strips in the pan with the potatoes, peppers and onions. If you’re thinking that jalapeno looks a little spicy and don’t want to…
