Last weekend my husband and I were relaxing viewing our favorite cooking shows and “Panko” was utilized in a couple of the dishes. Even though we have come across panko for several years and understood it had an Asian origin, we still were not confident what it really was or its uses. So after a little investigation on the internet I came across numerous ways to use panko and exactly what panko is.
Marinated Zucchini with Bow Ties
Garden-fresh zucchini and tomatoes make a beautiful pasta, perfect for a warm summer night’s dinner. It can be served hot or at room temperature, either for four as a main course or for eight as a side dish – with grilled chicken, for instance.

I love chocolate! I love caramel! I love pecans! So a chocolate turtle is high on my list of culinary treats.
Every year the neighborhood kids come knocking on my door to sell me candy for one activity or another and I always buy a tin of turtles. Once they are delivered a month or two later I find that only about 12 (if I am lucky) are in the tin. Up to $18.00 for a tin of 12 turtles! Now I don’t mind spending the money, it is for the kids, but 12 turtles…that lasts about 24 hours if I am lucky.
When I saw this recipe at Cooking.com, I was taken back to the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen during the holidays as a child. Baked bread, cookies, pies, cakes and then the smell of Turkey and all the trimmings. I get hungry just thinking about those smells.
My mother made a cake very similar to this only she used Pumpkin Pie spice in place of the spices listed. She usually made it a couple of days before the holiday and kept in the refrigerator. She took it out the night before to make sure it was a room temperature the next morning.

Everyone has a recipe for Bruschetta, or you should. This is such an easy dish and there are so many varieties that I really believe you could make a different recipe everyday for a year and still have some leftover, recipes that is.
We didn’t feel like eating a big meal tonite, it was just my husband and I, so we usually eat lighter when the family is not around. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and if you have a special Bruschetta recipe I urge you to share it with us.
