Beurre Blanc Poached Cod

I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s -all those silly chalky conversation hearts that taste like Tums just don’t do it for me. Most years it just feels like another “Hallmark holiday” – I mean, if you truly love someone, do you really need a special day during [...]

Tapenade

The olives one can get here are ridiculously gorgeous. Anyone who goes to the market on Saturday can see the olive sellers, who must have over two dozen types of olives. I walk by and drool, and wish that I could just sample one of each. Coming from an [...]

White Bean and Tuna Dip

Hummus isn’t the only bean dip out there. And while I love hummus, tahini is expensive and can be hard to find. I made this white bean and tuna dip to go with our “mezze” for this month’s Daring Kitchen challenge. I originally decided to create [...]

Shrimp Salad with Ceviche Spirit

So Groundhog’s Day came and went this year, and the verdict was that we still had a good 6 weeks of Winter left. I’m not sure if Punxsutawney Phil is accurate across continents, given that he doesn’t seem to have a great track record [...]

DC #8 – “En Croute” Two Ways

The 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking. Simone chose Salmon en Croute (or alternative recipes for Beef Wellington or Vegetable en Croute) from Good Food Online.

Now this month was a serious challenge!! I had to do it twice to get something even [...]

Daring Cook’s Challenge #7 – Sushi

Mmm one of my favorite foods! The November 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was brought to you by Audax of Audax Artifex and Rose of The Bite Me Kitchen. They chose sushi as the challenge. I was so excited when sushi was picked for this month’s Daring [...]

Pumpkin Shrimp Bisque

I’ve decided that pumpkin is the most versatile food on Earth. You can use it equally in savory or sweet dishes, and it works with a wide variety of flavor profiles, from sweet maple/vanilla to sage/nutmeg to curries or gingery flavors. I think those are the most popular combinations, [...]

Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce

These were totally a spur of the moment dish that I made this afternoon – ever since purchasing rice paper spring roll wrappers for last month’s Daring Cook’s Challenge (my Fried Apple Cheesecake Pillows), I’ve been trying to come up with what to do with the rest of [...]

Fra Diavolo Mac & Cheese with Snow Crab

This week was my husband’s and my first wedding anniversary! I can’t believe that a year has passed by already, it has been SO fast! So many great and crazy things have happened in our lives in the past year, it has certainly been quite the trip, and I [...]

Bouillabaisse

This post is my submission to September’s “Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten Free!” event, hosted this month by Gluten Free Gidget. The theme this month was Disney. The first thing that came to mind was one of my favorite movies as a little kid, “The Little Mermaid”. [...]
