Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp
August 24, 2022

Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp

Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp is a hybrid recipe…part ceviche-inspired, part Peruvian, yet stands all on its own. Instead of “cooking” the shrimp in an acid (lime, lemon, or orange) like is usually done for ceviche, the shrimp are poached in a wonderful lime coconut milk, which is then reduced into a velvety sauce. For the finishing touches add colorful cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and red onion for some bite, cilantro as a fresh herby accent and then topped with some broken tortilla chips for overall fun crunchiness.

Roasted Broccoli with Thai Style Dressing
April 28, 2022

Roasted Broccoli with Thai Style Dressing

I love roasted broccoli. The roasting creates delectable little crispy bits on the edges of the florets and there’s both a crunch and a softness that develops through the roasting process. Roasted Broccoli alone is a treat but whey you pair it with a classic Thai-style dressing, it’s another level. Roasted Broccoli with Thai-Style Dressing is an unexpected combination that will seduce you.

Tomato Fish Chowder with Fresh Herbs & Lime

It’s starting to get cold outside and my vegetable garden bounty is nearing its end for the season, that’s when I know it’s time to make Tomato Fish Chowder with Fresh Herbs and Lime. This soup is great to make when you have an abundance of late-season garden tomatoes that need to be used or if you’re just in the mood for some tasty fish chowder with fresh herbs and a bit of unexpected zing. This chowder is light and delicious compared to the more commonly known and heavier, cream-based chowders. So put on an extra layer, embrace the crisp air, and enjoy a bowl of Tomato Fish Chowder with Fresh Herbs and Lime!

Lacquered Rib Eye Steaks
September 24, 2020

Lacquered Rib Eye Steaks

I usually keep it simple when grilling steaks and just apply kosher salt and pepper or a dry seasoning mixture and you can never go wrong with this method. But if you want to up your grilling game with very little effort, try lacquering the steaks with this sauce. Once you layer it onto the steaks, it creates a first-class, magical crust that is incredibly addictive. You MUST try Lacquered Rib Eye Steaks. You’ll be thanking me that you did!

Coconut Curry Chicken with Spinach, Mushrooms and Pine Nuts – Gluten Free

Coconut Curry Chicken with Spinach, Mushrooms and Pine Nuts – Gluten Free

I have been making Coconut Curry Chicken with Spinach, Mushrooms and Pine Nuts for years and it’s one of my all-time favorite recipes. Each time I eat it, I feel the same satisfaction bite after bite. The spinach, mushrooms, and noodles (or rice) soak up the coconut cream and the nuts add a subtle nutty crunch and texture so that every forkful has the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
