Click here to visit my channel, check out cooking videos, and subscribe If you’re new to my blog—THANK you—or have been reading since the beginning—thank YOU—you know that I enjoy both writing about food as well as creating cooking videos. The latter take a bit more time so there are fewer of them on my blog than I’d like. That…

Sometimes a theme develops unexpectedly, as it did with these past few posts that all include ginger. Come to think of it, we now have a delightful four course meal in case you’d like to host a sublime Pan- Asian dinner party. To recap: Thai pumpkin soup with cashews, coconut, and curry Glorious green salad with kale, cauliflower, avocado, and sesame-ginger…

Begin with freshly roasted pumpkins (or canned) and add creamy coconut milk, crunchy cashews, and curry for a super special soup that will make your taste buds dance with joy. I eat soup for dinner at least once every week (here’s why) and there are quite a lot of recipes on my blog. That said, it’s been a while since…

Since I’m revisiting a few Asian-inspired recipes this week, there’s one more I’d like to share for now, which came about when I had leftover Thai peanut sauce (aka, satay sauce) sitting in the fridge. The next thing you know, I spread some on top of a salmon fillet and whipped up a quick batch of sesame noodles tossed with kale and…

Everyone knows how much I love my salads, which comprise my dinner in full at least twice a week. Most frequently, my salads include a broad array of vegetables and such piled on top of a big bed of lettuces in all kinds of combinations like those discussed here. I love salad greens, and it’s low-calorie way to add tons of…

What better to go alongside a delightful green salad with kale, avocado, and sesame-ginger dressing than a gorgeous piece of seared fish prepared with the savory Japanese flavors of miso and soy? This elegant yet quick supper will go from stove to table in about twenty minutes. Er, not including the two hours for marinating, but surely you can find…

Too much alliteration for you? Sorry, but I really do feel that away about this salad, which, by design, only included green vegetables and featured two of my favorite crucifers, kale and cauliflower/broccoli. I forgot to post this a few weeks ago with my other Asian-inspired dishes like vegetable lo mein, Szechuan stir fry with cashews, and Asian noodles with…

This post is dedicated to my sister, who rolled her eyes following last year’s lobster bisque recipe, saying “No one’s ever going to make that!” Okay, then. Tell me how you really feel. (I thought.) “Seriously!” No, really. Don’t hold back. Yes, I do love to cook and occasionally write about elaborate meals that I and my foodie readers enjoy….

It’s about this time of year that I start dreaming of sweet summer corn and tomatoes, two of my favorite foods that I consume prolifically for the better part of three months when they’re in season. Indeed, there is nothing I love more than a homemade sauce made lovingly from mounds of fresh summer tomatoes. And I do even chop up…

Today’s dish is another in my Greek food series, which began with tzatziki, that classic Greek yogurt sauce that can be used as a condiment in many different dishes. A shish kebab sandwich is a natural pairing, but this sauce is also a lovely accompaniment to fish. Add a salad garnish featuring chopped vegetables rather than a lettuce base with…
