Back in the day Pittsburgh was a huge corporate town. Because of that there here were many, and I mean many, fantastic restaurants. But there was a top tier that were just amazing. I am fortunate to have purchased a cookbook with many of the old restaurant recipes. Some were gathered from newspaper articles and I had no shame and would just plain ask them them for the recipes for this is that. I would take what ever they would honor me with. Now I will be sharing some with you so they are not lost in the beauty of all of the slick, fancy new recipes.

Frittata
Need to use up leftover cooked or raw vegetables this is your recipe! I use this with the leftovers from my Italian vegie stir fry. I use it to finish off the vegies from farmers vegie box( you know the vegies that worked their way down into the corner of your vegetable drawer). No matter how you get them this is the best way to get them out of the fridge and into your family. Not only can you use the borderline vegies but a way to use up the leftover sausage and bacon. But I have also used that lone leftover pork chop or piece of pork tenderloin. Not enough to make a dent in a normal recipe but great in this one. It can become a star. The bits and pieces in your freezer are welcome as well.
Enchilada Casserole
Enchilada anything has my vote. So when I saw a variation on that theme last week had to make it mine and I mean mine. Well, actually it is now a fam favorite for sure.
Since moving to Florida we have been drawn to the Latin version of many recipes. Whether it be Puerto Rican ( although mofungo is too much plantain heavy for my taste by husband loves it), Cuban is a big favorite ( try my cubano egg rolls it is the more Tampa edition!). but you get the picture-anything Island works. We love our Mexican as well but it is a little harder to find around here (no fish tacos are not Mexican in my world and neither is Taco Bell) so we have to work at adapting recipes.

First things first…this recipe tastes so much better than it photographs so give it a chance!
London broils were on sale this past week and how can you pass that up! I have been getting away from the larger cuts since our fur babies past, but that was all that was remaining when I got to the store. Usually the second meal ( since I do not like ‘left-overs’ I have been using second meal instead) involve a cleaning out the fridge salad. That is not such a bad thing but wanted something EXTRA.
