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

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

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!

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,

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

Pasta with Broccoli
Posted on June 28, 2007
Last night I spoke with Sean — one of the coolest people I know — and he mentioned that he missed seeing large photos with delicious recipes around here. He just landed a huge new project, so I doubt he’ll be making pasta with broccoli anytime soon, though this tasty high-protein dish is an easy
