Creamy Coconut Crunch Shrimp

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.

Arugula with Figs, Peaches, Goat Cheese Crumbles and (GF) Granola

Arugula with Figs, Peaches, Goat Cheese Crumbles and (GF) Granola

My stepdaughter, Amelia, and sister-in-law Meg get credit for this terrific salad. Amelia wanted to make a salad with fruit for dinner one night. She mixed together peppery arugula with sweet peaches, berries, and tangy goat cheese. Meg suggested adding my crunchy gluten free homemade granola as the topping. The combination is dyn-o-mite and I’ve been making Arugula with Figs, Peaches, Goat Cheese Crumbles and (GF) Granola ever since! As the seasons change, so do my fruit choices.

Roast Fish & Vegetables with Curry Butter

Roast Fish & Vegetables with Curry Butter

Not only is Roast Fish and Vegetables with Curry Butter delicious but it’s virtually a one-pan meal. You start with roasting red onions, fennel and baby potatoes in the pan. Once they get wonderfully caramelized you add the fish and curry butter right on top. When cooking is done, serve right out of the pan and enjoy the silky, aromatic and earthy flavors…which only intensify if you happen to have leftovers.

Hot Damn! Flavor Poppin’ Roasted Broccoli with Red Onions is just about the best broccoli recipe I’ve ever made. And the secret ingredient is the anchovies…ssh! They’re a total game-changer.

Crab Louie Cobb Salad

Crab Louie Cobb Salad

My friend Susan and I discovered the Crab Louie salad while vacationing in Florida. The Crab Louie Cobb Salad is my twist on the traditional version of that salad…amped up a few notches. For me the key is to have big lumps of crabmeat throughout the salad so that you get a nice chunk of crab in each bite.

Citrus Dill Gravlax

Gravlax is always a party, holiday and brunch favorite. Citrus Dill Gravlax is one of the easiest gravlax recipes to make because unlike other gravlax recipes, this one is left undisturbed in the refrigerator for 3 days…no turning every 12 hours! Love it!! Plus, gravlax can be sliced a day ahead and arranged on a platter a few hours in advance of serving to further simplify your pre-party, holiday or brunch to-do list.
