Salmon Cakes Recipe
Canned meats totally and utterly freak me out. Seriously, they do. My husband happily enjoys canned tuna and chicken, but I cringe at the site of the stuff. However, when I saw a food magazine that I like tout the wonderful ease of using canned salmon, I was intrigued and bought a can. Naturally, it [...]
Roasted Asparagus Salad Recipe
I love this salad. I love this salad. I love this salad. Should I say it one more time? I think so. I love this salad. All in all, this can be made in about 20 minutes (as long as you get the egg and the asparagus going at the same time), perfect for lunch [...]
Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
The sun came out this morning, bringing with it deep blue skies and promise of better weather to come. As cliche as it sounds, it was a sight for sore eyes … Really, all I can think is thank goodness. The New England winter bought so much snow this year, and ice too. And the [...]
Cooking with Kids: Chopped Salad Recipe
The kids and I made a Mexican Chopped Salad today. It was awesome, and they gobbled it up. Actually, we gobbled it up. But what was more awesome was our conversation while we cooked. While making it, I made a last-second trade-out of an ingredient, substituting agave nectar for honey. Will immediately asked me why, [...]
Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad with Gorgonzola and Sunflower Seeds Recipe
A few months ago, I read somewhere that basically Brussels sprouts are the new black. While I agree that they are absolutely, positively delectable … I think this highly underrated vegetable has been getting its long-awaited dues for awhile now. People are recognizing how delicious a well-prepared sprout can be, and eaten them up. Literally. [...]
Easy Daikon Salad Recipe
I have a big confession to make: I’ve been eating daikon radishes for more than 10 years but only recently learned what this delicious, crunchy veggie was called. In fact, I only learned daikon’s name by process of elimination, followed by research, after a friend asked me what it was at a restaurant … In [...]
Honeybell Orange Rosemary Vinaigrette Recipe
I miss summertime. We’ve had a taste of warmer weather (notice I didn’t actually say warm) lately, and it was starting to spoil me. My thoughts have drifted to all the things that my little family will do this summer: growing our food, making weekly trips to the farmers’ market, heading to the beach. And [...]
Easy Green Salad with Roasted Salmon Recipe
What do you eat for lunch? People always talk about how important it is to have a good breakfast, but it’s also really important to have a good lunch — one that is filling, satisfying and healthy. For me, lunch is sometimes a sandwich or pasta, but more often it’s a salad. Salads served topped [...]
Apple Cider Vinaigrette Recipe
A few weeks ago, I started thinking of fall flavors (seriously, when did seasons become flavors to me?). Apples, pumpkins, squash, Brussels sprouts … I started to scheme about how I could use them to create new dishes. The first thing that came to mind: Apple Cider Vinaigrette. Not a dressing that just uses apple [...]
Light and Crisp: Vinaigrette Beet Slaw
It all started with the cabbage I’ve been growing. It was taunting me and I knew it was time to finally — finally — use it. Then the beets in the back of my fridge gave me a nudge. Before I knew it, I was writing a list of ingredients and trying to figure out [...]
