Blackened Hot Honey Salmon with Broccoli

March 24, 2024

Yet another salmon recipe! When you eat something almost once a week you should have lots of options. I was hesitant to try this as my husband doesn’t like things too spicy, but he was all over this. I had a bottle of Mikes Hot Honey from another recipe, and found a jar of Emeril’s […]

Ali Slagle of the NYT was inspired to create this low effort-maximum reward soup by the beef, leek and barley soup in Home Cooking, the memoir and cook book by Laurie Colwin. No browning of the meat; just toss everything in the pot or slow cooker and forget about it. At least until the delicious […]

Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese Sauce

February 19, 2024

I love to make an easy weeknight Bolognese sauce now and then, as my family loves it. But with an atmospheric river underway this rainy week, the true 4 hour recipe sounded like a pleasant project. Marcella Hazan, who died in 2013, was a cook book author who had a huge impact on the way […]

Three-Minute Red Wine Vinaigrette

February 13, 2024

The title in bold print that caught my eye in the Bon Appetit Thanksgiving issue was “YES, YOU NEED A SALAD”. With all that rich food on the table, will anyone really want/eat a green salad? Emma Laperruque sells this well, telling us to think of a salad as a moment of relief “like intermission […]

Strawberry Shortcake Cobbler

January 29, 2024

Here’s another great dessert from Alison Roman. As she puts it, “I’d better like you ALOT if I’m going to make you an individually assembled dessert” so this cobbler solves that by baking the shortbread right on top of the strawberries. I thought the cornmeal in the shortcakes added a nice texture and crunch, and […]

This tasty entrée is perhaps the simplest recipe I’ve posted. Janell – this one’s for you! It’s from Instagram food blogger britscookin and and if it takes you more than 5 minutes to prep it I’d be surprised. I’m going to write it up just as Brit did. Great with pasta and a salad. No […]

Creamy Spinach-Artichoke Chicken Stew

January 9, 2024

This terrific recipe by Sarah DiGregorio was described as “spinach-artichoke dip reimagined as a simple stovetop braise.” I would never have tried it (the idea of stirring in a box of frozen spinach would ruin anything in my opinion) but for the fact it has over 4,000 5 star New York Times ratings. Several commenters […]
