As you may have noticed, I’ve been posting a lot of salad and soup recipes lately. There’s good reason for this. Laura and I love salads and soup. If I had it my way, I think I’d eat just these two things for the rest of my life. And really, I’m not sure I’d ever […]

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 […]
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 […]
Curry Coconut & Garlic Mussels Recipe by MyRecipes
I’ve been looking into the health benefits of mussels lately and because of the information uncovered, I’ve decided that Laura and I should be eating them about once per week. They’re just too good to pass up. And at the price of just a tad over $3 for two pounds, it’d be silly not get […]
Ginger Shrimp, Mushroom & Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe
Every so often, a good stir-fry hits the spot. The trick is to get the flavors right. You can’t skimp out on this part because it makes all the difference between something that’s highly enjoyable to eat, versus something that’s easily forgettable. The Recipe Today’s recipe comes from a cookbook Laura recently purchased. It’s not […]
Onion, Garlic & Parsley Mussels Recipe
I’m not sure what would qualify something as a “super food,” but for the purposes of this website, I’m going to consider mussels as one. The health benefits of these things are simply too great to ignore. Being from Maine, Laura and I are extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to indulge ourselves in the […]
Seafood Stew with Cream, Fennel & Garlic Recipe
Now this, my friends, is my kind of dinner. As I was preparing this, I couldn’t wait to finish up so I could eat it. It’s always challenging enough as I’m taking pictures of some of these recipes, but I think this takes the cake. This seafood stew looks just awesome. The Recipe For some […]
Roasted Salmon with Beets & Herbs Recipe
The recipe I’m sharing in this post is part two of a fabulous birthday dinner I prepared a few evenings ago. To see the first part of the dinner, please check out the Curry & Greek Yogurt Vegetable Salad I made. That one was very good and worth trying out. The Recipe Even though the […]
Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale Drunken Mussels Recipe
Drunken mussels recipes are very liberal with their application. Some of these recipes use white wine and some use beer. I use both (independently), but tend to focus less on the inherent flavor of the alcohol and more on how I go about coaxing as much flavor out of the ingredients before I add the […]
