This is a super simple and delicious (and healthy) meal with maximum presentation appeal (unless you find the sight of whole fish totally UNappealing, of course). This was my first attempt at cooking any sort of whole fish, and I must say I’m rather impressed with myself. These beauties were on sale from Fresh Direct, […]
As promised, I made my favorite Barefoot Contessa go-to recipe in honor of Ina Garten’s upcoming appearance at Barnes and Noble tomorrow night – Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp. This recipe is super quick and easy, and tastes excellent as leftovers too! For this version, I halved the original recipe, and used fresh pasta and Wild […]
As I mentioned, I am trying not to waste anything in my fridge, and I had just enough of the Lemon and Horseradish Aioli leftover to make an intensely gluttonous BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato sandwich)! This sandwich would be delicious with just the above, if you aren’t a meat lover! […]
I rarely buy cold cuts, mainly because I can’t eat them fast enough, but on a whim I got some thinly-sliced roast beef from Fresh Direct. I decided to spice it up a bit and put a little kick in the pants of the old run-of-the-mill beefy ‘wich, by making a delicious lemon and […]
Decided to try the above ingredients together in a cocktail the other day – delicious and refreshing! Ingredients (1 cocktail) 1 tsp superfine sugar juice of 1 lemon, less 1 slice of lemon for garnish 1 1/2 oz. gin 3 oz. white wine (your favorite will do) Combine all ingredients in a shaker […]
After a trip to the farmers’ market, I was inspired to make a veggie dish! I have only made quinoa one other time, but thought it would pair perfectly with the eggplant and zucchini I picked up yesterday. This is what I did: Ingredients (Serves 2 as a main dish) 5 small eggplants […]
Pork tenderloin is one of the most delicious and easiest and meats to cook. There are certainly more involved and decadent recipes out there, but this time I wanted to try something healthy and simple. I found this recipe for Herb Marinated Pork Tenderloin from Ina Garten on the Food Network website and […]
By far my favorite salmon recipe is this one from Giada de Laurentiis. The only difference here, is that I use dill instead of rosemary and only white wine (original calls for Marsala). This recipe is super easy, quick, and healthy! Ingredients 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon […]
Tonight I made Artichokes with Lemon and Dill Aioli. Very simple stuff, and very delicious. For two servings, boil two large artichokes for 8 – 12 minutes in salted water, until tender when pierced with a fork. In a bowl, whisk together two cloves of garlic (forced through a garlic press), the zest and […]
