Why I chose this recipe: We love having friends and family visit us for the weekend, especially in Vermont. Whether it is a cold winter morning before we head to the ski slopes or a hot summer morning before we go down to the lake for endless water sports, I like to serve our guests something delicious, but easy for breakfast. For a lighter breakfast,…
Why I chose this recipe: We eat a lot of chicken so I am always looking for and experimenting with chicken recipes. I have used this recipe for a few years, but only recently prepared it on skewers. I hoped that the pretty presentation and the fun of being served food on skewers would convince our children to embrace the vegetables and chimichurri sauce with…
Why I chose this recipe: I love halibut almost as much as I love salmon. It is easy to cook, it is beautiful to present, and it is hearty to eat. I also feel as though halibut is very versatile. It can be paired with many different sauces and herbs to create a remarkable entrée. However, there is nothing worse than a dry piece of…
Why I chose this recipe: Usually when I walk into the fishmonger I have every intention of trying a new fish. Everything looks so fresh and delicious it is hard to choose. I am excited to experiment in the kitchen with Lemon Sole, Snapper, Mahi-Mahi and many more. Yet, whether there are too many fabulous choices or I am just being a wimp about trying…
Why I chose this recipe: Maybe this salad should be named the ‘Kitchen Sink” salad as I do seem to throw quite a lot into it. Any salad with edamame, avocado and black beans incorporated into it I gravitate to. Not only do those items have great health benefits, but each of the additional salad items add color, flavor and pizazz to this recipe making…
Why I chose this recipe: My daughters and I are addicted to these nuts. I make a batch, keep them in the refrigerator and they snack on them all week as an after school. If there are any left, I add them to 90% of the salads I make and when friends are over, I put them out as an extra appetizer for friends to…
Why I chose this recipe: I love making salad dressings from scratch. It is easy, fast and delicious. The key is to have the staples in your refrigerator and pantry ready to grab whenever you get the urge. You will see from the ingredients’ list that it will not take much effort. I honestly never buy salad dressing from the grocery store any longer because…
Why I chose this recipe: Over the past year I have become obsessed with spinach, whether in salads, entrees, or sautéed with lots of garlic. I serve my family this spinach salad two to three times a week, literally. (Don’t the experts say it may take serving your child something twelve times before they actually learn to like the food? Well, I hope this works…
Why I chose this recipe: This rice is absolutely delicious and so versatile. Whether I am making my Bourbon Salmon, my Thai Chicken with Basil or my Roasted Stuffed Chicken Breast, this rice is the perfect accompaniment. If I have leftovers, I also use this rice when making a stir-fry or burritos. But if you are like one of my sister-in-laws and do not like…
Why I chose this recipe: I love fish. I particularly love salmon and all of it’s health benefits. I have many salmon recipes, but this is my “Go To” salmon dish. (I think I have served it to every family member and friend.) It is the perfect combination of a wonderful meaty fish and traditional Asian flavors. The small amount of bourbon adds a depth…
