Some days it’s good to eat no carbs. I do love my carbs, but today is a carb-less day for me. Here is a pizza you can make and not even miss the crust. Both my hubby and I really enjoyed this one. It’s also good without the bacon and with mushrooms instead… but who doesn’t love bacon!!! Continue reading
I love autumn. I love the cool weather and the changing colors of the leaves. Our fresh summer salads recipes are put on the back burner until next summer and we crave the warm seasonal flavors of Fall. Roasted vegetables, dried fruits and nuts. In this salad I’ve combined some of the flavors of the autumn season… Continue reading
My Hubby and I love a good piece of salmon and he takes choosing the perfect piece very seriously (it’s quite cute actually). So when we were at the market and I saw him eyeing up the perfect piece, I knew salmon was on the menu. While he usually makes the salmon for us, I wanted to give it an Asian influence so he graciously handed me the reins. This simple dish was served with Soba noodles for even more flavor. I hope you get the chance to enjoy this salmon dish sometime soon. Here is a link to my hubby’s excellent salmon too … My Hubby’s Salmon Continue reading
It’s Taco Tuesday! I’ve read that about fifty years ago, somewhere in Baja California someone created what is generally considered to be the original Baja fish taco. This tasty taco traditionally consists of a lightly battered mild white fish that is deep-fried, then served in a corn tortilla with shredded cabbage, a sour-cream- or mayonnaise-based sauce, a bit of salsa, and a squeeze of lime. I’ve changed the original just a bit in this recipe – using a cornmeal crust and using only a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil instead of deep-frying the fish. I tossed the shredded cabbage in the mayo-sour cream concoction along with some fresh cilantro and the zest and juice of a lime. The flavor combination is amazing! I hope you give these a try on your next Taco Tuesday… Continue reading
It’s MEATLESS MONDAY! Eggs are a great source of protein for Meatless Mondays. I was in the mood for Italian today, but didn’t want any pasta, so I decided to make eggs with an Italian theme. I served these eggs with broiled Asiago & garlic bread. The yoke mixed with the pesto really added something special to this dish. It was both filling and delicious… Continue reading
Arroz con Pollo was the first Latin meal I ever tried. Many years ago, I was visiting my husband’s family in Panama and was served this simply delicious meal. I tried recreating it when we got home. After many years of tweaking the recipe, and although it may not be made the same way as they make it in Panama, I believe that the end result is perfection! Allowing the chicken to braise in its own juices for an hour tenderizes it and adds tons of flavor. I hope you’ll give it a go… Continue reading
We have eight pepper plants that are still yielding a lot of peppers. So I decided to roast some of them the same way I roast my red peppers. Then I stuffed them a little different than usual and re-roasted them… They were so delicious that I can’t wait to make them again…
COCKTAIL CORNER! It’s the tail end of summer and what better way to say ‘Goodbye’ to summer than to toast it with a parting summer drink? These cool frozen drinks are refreshing and should be savored along with the final warmth of summer… Continue reading
Everyone loves a great tasting cookie…Here is the classic chocolate chip cookie with the addition of butterscotch chips! Double yummy!! I love to use semi-sweet baking squares and chop them into bits as their flavor is so much richer than the regular chips. These are my son Gabe’s favorite cookie. Hope you love them as much as he does. And I have to admit that the colorful box in the photo above inspired me to make these…I really wanted to use that box!! Enjoy this easy & very tasty dessert… Continue reading
