Salmon with Mushrooms and Red Pepper Sauce
Posted on December 9, 2008
Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods. I bought some recently on a trip to the store, though I had no idea what would become of them. The next day I took out one of my favorite cookbooks, A Cook’s Book of Mushrooms and began to flip through the pages. I found a great recipe,

Turkey Chili
Posted on December 1, 2008
Leftover turkey? I opened the fridge this morning and noticed I still had a pile of cooked bird from Thanksgiving. While I am more than happy to have a surplus of food during these times, I must admit, I was perplexed as to what to do with it. Turkey chili of course. Here’s a recipe

It has been so hot here –Sunday was a scorching 104 degrees. Because of the toasty weather, I’ve been looking for quick, cool ways to get hits of protein. Really, all I want to eat is fruit and lemon slushes these days. However, this white bean concoction has been a winner for the family during

Mustard Lime Chicken
Posted on July 15, 2008
It’s too darn hot here to turn on the oven; the high today is supposed to get up to 100°. The solution? Fire up the grill and throw on some chicken breasts ever so briefly. The mustard lime chicken pictured above is a tangy hit of protein on a hot summer’s day. I hope it

Mango Chicken
Posted on June 24, 2008
My favorite thing about the picture above? The cilantro on the Mango Chicken and in the glass cup is from my garden. Now, that’s something to get pumped about considering I barely have a yard. And what little yard I do have is taken over by a trampoline for the boys. We live close to

Chipotle Orange Chicken

As some of you know, I write an op-ed column for The Daily Camera, covering political, economic and environmental issues. As we face increasing food prices and shortages worldwide, food becomes a more important aspect of such aforementioned matters. This week, my column was called, The Politics of High Fructose Corn Syrup. In it, I

If you ever find yourself in a “dinner quandary,” I highly recommend a visit to tastespotting; the photos are gorgeous and provide much meal planning inspiration! Alas, I digress, this post is about myfeasts.blogspot.com. The site is

Chicken Piccata
Posted on February 22, 2008
It’s been almost a week since I last posted something here. It seems my entire family has gone into retrograde and I have been nursing everyone back to health for the last month –including myself. The nasty flu that blew through Colorado had me down for ten days straight. I haven’t had one that bad

Salmon with Tomato Basil Relish
Posted on February 7, 2008
As I have mentioned here before, I am always looking for inspired ways to eat salmon. First priority, disguising the fishy flavor! Well, lo and behold, last night as I sat on the couch making my way through the latest issue of Cook’s Illustrated (my dear friend Deb subscribed me as a gift last year),

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

Rosemary Apple Chicken
Posted on November 4, 2007
Every Friday night, I roast a chicken. My children are willing to consume any chicken dish as long as it contains fruit. Such is our unspoken agreement. This past week, I used apples to lure my children to their protein dish. The combination of rosemary with apples was a natural pairing and the balsamic vinegar,

Fall is a full time of year; especially for a Jewish family with children in a Waldorf school.

Chicken Salad with Almonds

Tonight’s project was a gluten free chicken salad with almonds. Even though the days of August are long and hot, the month seems to speed by every year, and this year has been no different. Today the boys started school and my older son had his first viola lesson. He locked the viola case to

Salmon with Anchovy Olive Tapenade
Posted on July 31, 2007
I love to eat salmon. Actually, I love the idea of eating salmon. All those good omega 3′s. Lately, I’ve been on a quest to create salmon toppings that disguise the fishy flavor. Here’s one that worked well. Salmon with Anchovy Olive Tapenade 4 (4 ounce) fillets wild salmon ¼ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed.

Dogs In a Garden
Posted on July 27, 2007
The boys have declared a salmon boycott and reserved their right to eat an alternate protein on salmon night. Tonight, my younger son chose to exercise his boycott with a hot dog, organic turkey, of course; not to sound snobby, but I make quite certain that when my children eat animal products, they are from
