Fish Tacos Recipe
Fish Tacos Recipe Video (scroll down for recipe) My first ever remake! I’ve updated my fish tacos recipe slightly, jazzing up the slaw and adding a chipotle sauce to go on top. I also have moved away from tilapia and instead have been making these with cod or snapper. Any firm white or medium-bodied fish…
Read MoreRed White and Blueberry Cake
Not to toot my own horn, but I love it when I have a cute baking idea that actually works out. You know I’m no fancy cake decorator and more often than not, my attempts at making cute baked goods end in tears of despair and icing all over my face. But this time I…
Read MoreSpicy Potato Salad
Just to prove that potato salad doesn’t have to be beige (and because one time we were out of mayonnaise) I came up with this spicy potato salad which is a wonderful switcharoo from classic potato salad. The dressing is high in vinegar so it’s tart and the spiciness can be adjusted by using different…
Read MoreCumin Grilled Lamb Sirloin Chops
The American Lamb Board sent me some fresh lamb sirloin chops to play with, which was fun as they are a nice tender cut that’s relatively new to butcher shops. I think lamb is an under-used meat in the US; people tend to go for beef instead. But lamb of today is perhaps much milder than…
Read MoreGreek Pasta Salad
It’s summer time and that means it’s pasta salad time! The basic reasoning behind that is: A) pasta salad can take any and all kind of summer vegetables you have on hand and be perfectly happy and delicious, and B) pasta salad is easy as hell and gets even better after a day in the…
Read MorePatatas Bravas
Patatas Bravas are one of the most well known Spanish tapas recipes, and for good reason. They are inexpensive, super simple, and very delicious. Potatoes parboiled, then cooked in lots of extra-virgin olive oil until slightly crispy and fully infused with rich olive flavor, then dressed with a spicy mayonnaise sauce. Serve these warm or…
Read MorePeanut Butter and Jelly French Toast
THE BEST way to make French toast is with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. How can you deny peanut butter and jelly French toast? With berry maple syrup? And more berries inside? Your protests are sounding ridiculous! Like chocolate chip waffles, peanut butter and jelly French toast makes almost a better dessert than a…
Read MoreCrostini
Crostini is Italian for “little toasts” and it’s exactly what that sounds like (crostino is the singular of the word). Thin slices of a baguette or other narrow loaf, lightly oiled and then oven-toasted until crisp. Think of a fancy Melba toast. Crostini can be topped with any combination of delectable treats you can think…
Read MoreMushroom Millet Cakes
As one within whom the hippie blood runs thick, millet has always appealed to me. It’s my hippie mom’s fault. She, who would only let us eat Cheerios. She, who would never let us have sodas. She, who would only buy Roman Meal bread which I think must have been a compromise between “healthy” and…
