My regular stock of canned goods in the pantry always includes a couple cans of salmon. This is a recipe that my mother would make when I was growing up. It is so easy and delicious that I now make it for my family. Most seafood “cakes” are fried, but this one I bake in … Continue reading

Spinach and Tofu Curry with Peanut Sauce
I read a recipe recently, for a spinach and tofu dish with a peanut sauce. I love anything with peanut butter and I cook with tofu a lot, so I thought I might try it. Last night I got out my tofu, peanut butter and spinach and then realized I wanted to take this dinner … Continue reading
Mushroom Risotto
Who doesn’t love a risotto? Don’t be intimidated by its fancy name or by the fact that you need to stir this dish a lot while cooking. It’s just rice, its not hard!! Rice is a starchy food, the shorter the grain of rice, the more starch it contains. The arborio rice in risotto is … Continue reading

Baked Chili Rellenos
One of my favorite dishes to order at Mexican restaurants is Chili Rellenos. Those yummy cheese filled chilies deep fried to perfection, mmmmm…. So good!

Instead of a big sit down dinner, everyone just grabs a comforting bowl of chili when they arrive, adorn … Continue reading
Moussaka
Moussaka is one of my favorite greek dishes! I love the combination of warm cinnamon in the tomato sauce and the almost custard like creamy sauce on top. It is a savory dinner with a hint of sweet that makes it super yummy! If you think the ingredients sound a little strange, don’t knock it … Continue reading
