Quick-Braised Cod With Herbed Yogurt

April 4, 2019

This is another great recipe from the amazing Melissa Clark for the New York Times. She must spend most of her life in the kitchen and we are all the beneficiaries. This is a great week night dinner as it comes together so quickly with mostly on-hand ingredients. The easy yogurt sauce makes this taste […]

Tangy and Spicy Chicken and Peppers

March 24, 2019

I keep finding yet another good recipe in Jessica (Mrs. Jerry) Seinfeld’s book “Food Swings”. The first half of the book is called “Virtue” for times when your’e leaning light and healthy, and the second half is titled “Vice” for when you’re feeling more indulgent. Makes it easy to find what you’re looking for! This […]

Apple and Carrot “Superhero” Muffins

March 19, 2019

This recipe is from the “Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow” cookbook by Shalane Flanagan (Olympian/NYC Marathon champ) and Elyse Kopecky (chef/nutrition coach). It’s full of “Quick Fix Recipes for Hangry Athletes.” Kind of sounds like they may know what they’re talking about! They call these “Superhero” muffins because they are muffins that “sustain”. I […]

Pan-Roasted Swordfish Steaks with Mixed-Peppercorn Butter

March 13, 2019

In searching for a new way to prepare the swordfish that looked so fresh in the market, I stumbled on a 2005 recipe on Epicurious that that was a revelation! 123 reviewers rated it 4/4 forks and 98 % would make it again. One reviewer called it “Ridiculously good and ridiculously easy!” You simply saute […]

Baked Barley Risotto With Mushrooms and Carrots

March 6, 2019

I didn’t know you could call a dish without rice a risotto, but barley does make a fine substitute here with its plump and chewy texture. And no laborious stirring as it bakes effortlessly in the oven while you’re pulling together the rest of your dinner (although this is hearty enough for a vegetarian entree.) […]

White Bean Minestrone Soup

February 27, 2019

After going back for a second bowl along with the rest of our book club, I asked Diane Armstrong could I PLEASE have this recipe! She had taken a “white”minestrone recipe (we guessed because there is no tomato or dark colored vegetables to color it) and tweaked it to the point of being largely unrecognizable. […]

Snoop Dog’s Billionaire’s Bacon

February 21, 2019

I never would have guessed I’d be sharing a recipe from rap icon Snoop Dog. But he’s now a force in the food world since his TV partnership with Martha Stewart called “Martha and Snoops Potluck Dinner Party”. Even harder to believe that of the two, it’s Martha who’s the convicted felon! It was inevitable, […]

James Beard’s Tamale Pie

February 10, 2019

Who knew the legendary James Beard would have a tamale pie recipe? And of course it’s wonderful. It must be over 60 years old, so I hope he will forgive me from his heavenly kitchen if I suggest a couple of updates. By today’s standards it could use a bit more heat, so I suggest […]

5-Ingredient Easy White Chicken Chili

January 28, 2019

My friend Terri said she almost didn’t send this recipe because it was really just too easy….never a problem – the easier the better! You basically shred a rotisserie chicken from the store and add it to a pot with canned beans, purchased salsa verde, and chicken stock. Viola! You’ve got a soupy, delicious chicken […]
