Gefilte Fish
Posted on March 23, 2011
This recipe is based on one by Ellyn Goodrich at epicurious.com, called “Alaskan Halibut and Salmon Gefilte Fish Terrine.” While Goodrich’s recipe makes a gefilte fish “loaf,” mine is for traditional (yet gluten free) gefilte fish balls (like my Bubby made) only with more vegetables, so that they are a bit lighter and healthier than

There was a shortage of Fish Kabayaki the other night when I made this amazing dish from Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen Cookbook. I used salmon to make this sweet and tangy fish dish and it was phenomenal. The boys were unhappy that I did not make more, so tonight I’m making it again and doubling the

Agave Lime Chicken
Posted on January 30, 2009
The other night while I was tucking in my super snuggly 10 year old into bed, we discussed possibilities for the next night’s dinner. “Fennel” he suggested, “I really like it because it’s sweet and also very healthy!” “What would you like for our protein dish?” I asked. “What about that roasted chicken I made

Sesame Noodles
Posted on January 13, 2008
I find nothing as yawn-inspiring as a food blogger who “yums” at their own creations. I see it on blogs all the time. “‘Yum, yum and yum,’ and did I say, ‘yum?!’” I can hear them now, oohing and ahhing at their own creations. However, I may soon become part of this silly little navel
