Sauteed Broccoli and Corn – Cooking at Clark Towers
We here in NH are enjoying a lovely fourth of July weekend! The best day of the long weekend was definitely the 4th itself in my little hamlet. Not too hot, lots of sun and a great breeze to keep the bugs away. I had a couple of ears of corn leftover along with some…
Mexican Street Corn Chicken – Cooking at Clark Towers
I had picked up a couple of ears of corn for dinner the other night. That may sound weird only because there is always a deal for 5 or 6 ears. There are only 2 of us most nights and we only eat an ear each so the others would go to waste; I don't…
Buttermilk Waffles – Cooking at Clark Towers
Happy Father's Day! I love a good crisp exterior waffle with a nice soft interior. These waffles hit the bill. I don't make them often but when I do there are usually several people here. You may already have a plan of what you are making on this Father's Day but if you don't give…
Marinated BBQ Shrimp – Cooking at Clark Towers
I know I posted this recipe a couple of times now, but I really think you need to make this for your fourth of July get together. The reason I am bringing this one back is I asked my son what he wanted for his birthday. This was it! I have the shrimp marinating in…
Fish en Papillote – baked fish in parchment – Cooking at Clark Towers
The asparagus in the garden is doing pretty good this year. It's not a great patch but it gives us enough for us and there is nothing like going out and harvesting a few stalks for dinner. Here is a recipe I share with you quite a few years ago that if you didn't make…
Nicaraguan Tres Leches Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I guess there is much debate on the origin of the Tres leches cake. I have been reading quite a bit about it and while it is definitely South American it was a toss up between Nicaragua and Mexico. My surprise was more that Nestle might have had something to do with it. Where my…
Shirred Eggs – Cooking at Clark Towers
I am actually not a big breakfast person, don't get me wrong I love all kinds of breakfast foods, I just don't wake up and immediately want to eat. My husband says the only reason he gets out of bed is because he is starving - insert eye roll here! He has been on a…
Chicken Katsu Curry Rice – Cooking at Clark Towers
In watching some cooking shows lately; I keep hearing the word Chicken Katsu. I did not know what Katsu meant, it all looked like fried chicken cutlet or a schnitzel to me. I ended up googling it and basically they are all pretty much the same, the difference is Katsu you use panko, you don't…
Barbados 2025 food journey – Cooking at Clark Towers
We got back from Barbados late last night! Needless to say I did not do a lot of cooking last week so I thought I would share some of the fabulous food we had. We did eat in a couple of nights, I made one pot pasta. On our last night My sister-in-law made up…
Crazy Chocolate Cake into birthday cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I would say this is my go-to homemade cake, it's easy, it's moist and just plain delicious. To be fair this is also the only homemade cake I make. I should really come up with a vanilla version, probably won't. Anyway my daughter-in-law asked me to make my Granddaughters second birthday cake. I said as…
Carrot Cake Muffins or Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
We had 3-5 inches of snow yesterday! So no this is definitely not from my garden, I can honestly say I have never had any tulips, no matter how many I planted, look like this picture. I thought you and I could use some beautiful flowers in our lives right now. Next week is Easter…
Italian Chicken Cutlet – Cooking at Clark Towers
I bought some thin cut chicken breasts the other day and needed to use the up, or put them in the freezer. I kind of like buying them when I see them but generally end up making Chicken Piccata Scallopini – Milanese – Piccata. I wasn't feeling it this time so I figured I would bread…

Moist Orange Bundt Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I made this cake last week and while I really liked the flavor and how moist it was. I hated my Bundt Pan, I will also confess I have hated this pan for such a long time. I don't use it a lot, gosh I wonder why. But I honestly can't remember the last time…
Weeknight Paella – Cooking at Clark Towers
Please don't be offended by the title of this recipe. It may not have all the love that a typical Paella has, or all the work of a true Paella. But this was pretty yummy and it had the feel of Paella, minus a few of the usual ingredients; I wasn't going out to the…

Neiman Marcus Cake – a gooey butter rich cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
The name of this recipe intrigued me, why is it named after a department store? It literally because it is a very RICH cake. I do not believe I have ever bought anything from Neiman Marcus, I think I walked in one once. However Neiman Marcus has nothing to do with this cake, they do…

Today is definitely a soup kind of day around here and from the sounds of it most of the country. It is cold, snowy and sleet and ice expected for the rest of the day into night. I just hope we don't lose power; though I am preparing for it to go out. My preparing…
Baked Chicken Thighs with White Wine Cream Sauce – Cooking at Clark Towers
I seem to always have some sort of chicken in the fridge, my go-to is definitely chicken thighs, they are much more forgiving when baking; there is nothing worse than drrrrrrry chicken. My family has been doing dry January this year, minus the old people; hey they are in their mid 90's I say let…
Easy Homemade Brownies – Cooking at Clark Towers

chicken tacos – slow cooker – Cooking at Clark Towers
I had some chicken boneless skinless chicken thighs in the fridge I wanted to use up or they were going to have to be placed in the freezer soon. I think chicken is the protein we eat the most and sometimes I have a hard time coming up with what to do with them. Technically…
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies – Cooking at Clark Towers
Happy New Year! I can't tell you the last time I had or even bought a macadamia nut. It's not that I don't like them it's just not something I come across very often. We were given one of those nut, dried fruit and chocolate trays for Christmas and when I saw the macadamia nuts…

Nisu – Finnish Sweet Bread – Cooking at Clark Towers
My first time trying Nisu was back in the early 90's. I worked with a Finnish girl and her family made loaves and loaves of it, she always brought it in for company potlucks. I definitely did not spend as much time in the kitchen back then so I had never thought of making it.…
Roasted sheet pan chicken with acorn squash and a sumac brown butter – Cooking at Clark Towers
Today here in New Hampshire it was in the 20's this morning, frost on the pumpkin is an understatement. Today is also the day we turn the clocks back an hour, I did not sleep in an extra hour, my internal clock isn't so precise. And there is a crazy election on everyone's mind. It's…

Lazy Apple Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
I think the title of this recipe is deceiving a bit. I was thinking it should be as simple as making a dough and adding some apples to it. There was a little more to it than that. Though it was very tasty and everyone like it. Plus it tasted even better the next day…
Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake – Cooking at Clark Towers
We "traveled" to Italy last week for our family's weekly #worldwidewednesday dinner and I was sort of on my own, Nate did make a delicious appetizer sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.

Coffee Crème Brûlée – Cooking at Clark Towers
When it was decided that our #worldwidewednesday family meal was going to be Southern France I thought I would make profiteroles but I had made them semi recently so back to the drawing board. I haven't made Crème Brûlèe in quite some time. I didn't want it to be the usual vanilla version that I…
