Red Rice & Quinoa Salad with Oranges and Dates Recipe

I still shudder at the thought of Laura and me standing in the kitchen at 11PM, asking each other what we want to eat for dinner. If you’ve ever fallen victim to procrastination like we have and have ever waited too long to make a rational decision, you probably know that any common sense you […]

Stir-Fried Asparagus, Mushroom & Sweet Ginger Sauce Recipe

I”m not sure I can ever get enough stir-fry. Just the name of the dish makes me hungry. All the sauteed vegetables, combined with what I already know is going to be a very flavorful sauce puts a smile on my face. The Recipe When it comes to simplicity, this one pretty much takes the […]

Black Rice Salad with Apple, Snow Peas & Ginger Vinaigrette Recipe

Earlier this week, Laura browsed a few of our cookbooks in an effort to find this round of recipes. She did a good job because each one of the dishes she settled on is fabulous. One dish, in particular, stood out to me because it included an ingredient I have never eaten. This ingredient is […]

Sweet & Sour Cabbage, Fennel and Apple Salad Recipe

A few summers ago, I went cole slaw crazy. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I still love it and would be eating it today if it weren’t for all that mayonnaise that’s called for in many of the recipes. I like mayonnaise and all, but not the amount that’s included […]

Asparagus, Fennel & Beet with Verjus Salad Recipe by Plenty

I have to admit, this is a great looking dish. Not only is it that, but it’s also very interesting. I learned a lot by looking up what certain ingredients were and what their histories are. What I found was definitely worth the effort. Did you know that verjus’ (verjuice) popularity dates back to medieval […]

Poached Salmon with Cucumber & Dill Sauce Recipe by Williams-Sonoma

Of the three primary methods for cooking salmon, nothing comes close to poaching. That is, when it comes to tenderness and moistness. I fry, which is okay if I’m in a rush or would like to enjoy the crispy skin and tons of flavor, but that’s sort of hit or miss with ending up with […]

Roasted Carrots & Cauliflower with Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipe

Boy, what a ride we’ve been on these past few weeks. Laura and I have been changing up our diets to include a lot more seafood. The issue with posting those types of recipes on this site is that they really need to be planned a lot more than regular, un-seafood, recipes. It’s not that […]

Stir-Fried Ginger Shrimp & Asparagus Recipe by Williams-Sonoma

I’m a huge fan of stir-fry. It’s generally very tasty and it’s really simple to prepare. Also, the combination of ingredients are endless. I’d say that when we go out to eat, 90% of the time, Laura orders something that has to do with stir-fry. I order what I think I’d like and after we […]

Lemon & Leeks Mussels Marinière Recipe by Williams-Sonoma

I’ve been noticing an odd occurrence lately. After I eat either fennel or leeks, for some strange reason, I feel very good. Sort of like a “feeling of well being.” I plan on doing some reading on these two vegetables because I’d like to get to the bottom of it. Perhaps there’s some magical chemical […]

Ornamental Squash with Ginger & Cinnamon Soup Recipe by Alton Brown

We’ve made it to the homestretch. Laura and I now have only one very large pumpkin left from this autumn’s collection. If you’ve been following along, you already know that we have made a variety of soups from the previous pumpkin and squash. In all honesty, many of these soups are very similar in their […]
