We are still enjoying summer poolside and I love to have my friends over several times a month to sip cocktails and have appetizers. I have learned to let the girls bring some of the goodies… but I also like to have a few goodies of my own. So here is a little snack I made for one of our poolside afternoons. Continue reading
A while back Linda made an excellent Cobb Salad with a twist of her own. Today I made one with my twist … Salmon and my lemon vinaigrette. Whenever my Hubby cooks for me it’s always salmon, so I used the leftovers, and instead of hard boiled eggs, I made them soft. Just delicious! Continue reading
Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We’re starting off this year with a healthy meal…lately I’ve been using my sheet pan to roast whole meals in the oven. Everything from fish to chicken and all kinds of veggies. Such a healthy and easy way to cook with minimal clean up…here’s a tasty meal using wild-caught salmon with the flavors of brown sugar & bourbon… Continue reading
This was a wonderful lunch for my Hubby and I while we played Chinese checkers…(which is really a German game…)?! Since zucchini are pouring out of my garden, making them new and delicious is a must. I didn’t want to make the same old fried or spaghetti zucchini and since I love all things smoked I decided to make the whole dish a smoky flavored dish…Success!!! Don’t you love when that happens???

While we were in Italy enjoying all those lovely meals at restaurants, one thing that was almost always on the table was a Balsamic Glaze…granted, theirs were in bottles which can be bought in the vinegar aisle of the supermarket and I even have one in my pantry…but for today’s Balsamic Glazed Salmon I went old school and made my own…but I have to say I cheated just a little…I used the microwave! The end result would rival any Italian restaurant…here, try some… 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
Who doesn’t love a good deviled egg? Really they should be called Heavenly eggs because that’s what they are. Well, here is my spin on the deviled egg based on my daughter’s visit and her special taste buds! Continue reading
My hubby makes the best salmon ever and when he makes it, it’s always a great big piece. Well I love that because the next day I make my Crispy Salmon Cakes With Dill Butter. Easy and full of flavor. The added dill butter really makes this dish a winner. Continue reading
Saturday night we had cocktails at our home with my parents and my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Fred. I love when they visit because we always have such a fun time. Well, before our dinner reservations at one of my favorite martini bars, I served cocktails and dips. I had just cooked a ham the day before, and the night before that we had my hubby’s excellent Dijon & Dill Salmon. So with my leftovers and some help from a few condiments I made some very tasty dips. Add some fresh toast points and the right presentation and you have a little party… Continue reading
