Crabmeat and Scallion Waffles
They’re Even Better Than I’d Imagined! I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a friend, Jamie Parrish, who calls me frequently to tell me, amongst other things, about something he’s recently eaten. One of those phone calls lead me to develop my recipe for Blueberry Sausage Biscuits with Miso Maple Sauce. This time around […]
Baked Pomegranate Rice
So Much More Than the Title Suggests. Continuing along with my love of all things pomegranate I’ve come up with this new recipe. I’ve made it 3 times in order to get it exactly as I’d imagined and oh, boy, is it good. 3 different pomegranate ingredients – juice, arils (seeds), and molasses – go […]
Citrus and Mackerel Salad with Crispy Naan
A Particularly Excellent Main Course Salad. A few explanations are in order here. Please bear with me. A few years ago I was in the mood for a fattoush salad, the Middle Eastern bread salad typically made with pita, but I didn’t have pita. Instead, I substituted naan (Indian flatbread). After tearing it up, tossing […]
Chicken and Blood Orange Salad with Miso Dressing
Super Easy Poached Chicken Breasts Lay the Groundwork. I get cravings for chicken salads on a regular basis. Whereas I normally lean to the dark meat of chicken, thighs are my go-to, I greatly prefer the breasts in chicken salads. Keeping the white meat juicy is super easy. I put on a pot of salted […]
Bacon, Tomato, and Blue Cheese Main Course Salad
Bacon is Never a Bad Thing, Right? I eat a lot of salads, which comes as a surprise to no one who knows me. But when I refer to something as a salad, I’m not talking about what most people think of when they hear the word salad. For instance, last night I cut up […]
Roasted Squash with Chipotle Pomegranate Dressing
How’s This for a Stunning Thanksgiving Side? I ran into some pretty winter squash at the grocery store and seeing as this time of year puts me in the mood for these deeper flavors, I bought a couple and gave some thought to what I wanted to do with them. While soup is always an […]
Marinated Zucchini and Tomatoes on Ricotta Toast
Ricotta Toast – One of Life’s Great Pleasures! Look, I’m one of those people who will plop almost anything on a piece of good toast and think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Seriously, that’s the way I roll. And if the toast has first been smeared with a spoonful of my […]
Baked Potato Halves with Garlic Butter
The Title of This Recipe Kind of Says It All! While I love a good baked potato, I frequently find that I don’t want to eat an entire big potato, unless I’m serving it as a main course. After making my Sweet Potatoes with Lime Chipotle Butter , in which I slice the potatoes in […]
Cantaloupe with Peanut Dukkah
How About a Simple and Unique Summer Melon Salad? I love eating and serving a simple melon salad with my meals in summer. I can’t think of anything more refreshing and satisfying. If you’ve got a good melon, you really don’t need to do a lot to it in order for it to be delicious. […]
Cheddar Pie with Kimchi and Chinese Sausage
An Unusual and Very Tasty Twist on the Classic Cheese Pie. I’ve been using the kimchi I made in quite a few recipes and here’s one of my favorites. I added it to a creamy cheddar pie to which I also added sliced Lap Cheong – Chinese sausage *. If you’ve never eaten this sausage, […]
