On Wednesday I made a terrific Spinach & Creamy Spinach Soup. Today’s soup is equally delicious but with a kick! It’s the perfect blend of sweet and hot! The corn brings this beautiful sweetness at the front, then after two or three bites you start to notice a little heat! A very balanced corn soup. For the corn broth, click on the link above and follow the directions.
Kung Pao Chicken is a traditional Chinese dish believed to have originated in the 1800s in the Sichuan Province. Diced marinated chicken, peanuts & chili peppers along with Sichuan peppercorns are the original ingredients. Sichuan peppercorns are available for online purchase but I’m all for ease and simplicity. So, for today’s recipe I’ve adapted those ingredients and used ones directly out of the local supermarket. Today’s chicken is marinated in a mildly spicy combination of Asian Szechuan sauce, hoisin sauce, Tamari soy sauce & five spice powder. To pump up the health factor, tri-colored peppers & broccoli have been added to the stir fry. End result? Delicious! Continue reading
Corn season is coming to an end. Soon there will be no more husking and no more corn soup. So this week I made two different corn soups to keep my corny taste buds hopping…Lol!!! This mild and flavorful corn and spinach soup really hit the spot. Creamy, salty and sweet! Continue reading
It’s Taco Tuesday! My favorite day of the month when I experiment with new and different flavors for tacos…This is another taco that I found on a menu from Fuego Tortilla Grill. I’ve never actually been there but I sometimes will spend time just perusing restaurant menus to get ideas and this one grabbed my attention. It’s called Cowboy Tacos and it listed Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce as one of it’s ingredients…that sounds tempting…doesn’t it!? But why let all the Cowboys have the fun? Here’s my spin on this taco which I’m gladly renaming Cowgirl Tacos! Continue reading
A little trick I use when I want to make ravioli and I just don’t have time to make my own…wontons! You heard me… so I filled them with a beautiful crab mixture, boiled them and presto they were ready! My Hubby loves them, I love how tender and thin the dough is and if I have guests, they think I worked all day… Perfect all around! Continue reading

The other day when I was making Salmon with Herb Gremolata, I made extra Gremolata and decided to use it to create another dish. On today’s menu is a Gremolata Topped Skillet Potato that is a great side dish to serve with any meal. I served it alongside the Salmon with Herb Gremolata and it was a hit! Continue reading
Today I’m sharing a tasty and healthy salmon dish. As mentioned in a previous post, Gremolata is an easy and healthy way to add tons of flavor to any dish. Gremolata is simply a combination of garlic and fresh herbs with lemon. I’ve substituted lime for the lemon in today’s recipe and fresh parsley, oregano and thyme are the herbs of choice. A squeeze of lime juice is the final ingredient to finish off this lovely salmon meal. Continue reading
