Winter and spring has been grim for me, mostly due to the fact that I was unable to travel. January to April was a very busy time which has kept me tied to NY during the worst weather months. Needless to say, I was eager to grab an opportunity to get out of dodge. I booked a trip to Montego Bay and within two weeks, I heard the welcome phrase “Jamaica no problem”, and was basking in the Caribbean sea, and enjoying views such as this.
Good fresh tomatoes can stand on their own. Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting you have a tomato for dinner, but how about this simple triple tomato salad as the accompaniment to a tasty protein. I really love tomatoes, beefsteak, cherry, grape, heirloom, so long as they are fresh and tasty, I’m in. Imagine this triple tomato salad, with miso marinated salmon or spicy crusted cod, it would be flippin fantastic.
Simple, aromatic, and most critical – flippin tasty! That’s how I would describe ramp baked eggs if you were to ask me. It’s a delicious start to the day that everyone should try.
Scallops lobster and garlic sauce. A special occasion dish with rich textures and flavors that complement each other so very well.
I’m sharing a marinara sauce recipe with you today. My first sauce post on a Saturday #saucesaturday! Marinara sauce is a very versatile sauce, you can make it sweet, spicy or just plain, it’s up to you. This recipe is my plain version of marinara sauce, and it has one secret ingredient. But then again, not so secret if you are a regular reader of my blog.
This asparagus beets and goat cheese salad is dynamite. It’s so simple, you just pile the ingredients on top of each other, and serve.
Spring has been very reluctant to show its face in NY, so I still hanker for comfort food. But with warmer weather promised soon, I hope, I’m mindful of my fat intake, so I made a delicious batch of lean meatballs and they were spectacular, you have to give these a try.
Today’s recipe is lime laced brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts sautéd in grape seed oil, doused in lime juice and topped with lime scented ricotta – yum!
Brussels sprouts are all the rage right now. You will be hard pressed not to see them on a restaurant menu these days. My family and friends have caught the bug, and they have become mine and my niece’s alternative to fries. So I thought it time to post another brussels sprouts recipe.
Do you want a light and effervescent cocktail to share with family and friends? Lemongrass green tea cider is it, trust me. It’s a simple mix of sweetened lemongrass green tea and a light cider.
Finding meat free dishes that I enjoy is not always easy. I am a true meat lover, but I do like to take a day off from eating meat once in a while. So I worked on a pasta dish so that I would have something hearty to eat on those days I wanted to avoid meat. It’s mushroom ricotta pappardelle, a fantastic meat free meal. It’s hearty, extremely flavorful, and full of texture. I love it, and you’re going to love it too.
