The green chutney used is just coriander, a little chilli and some coconut all ground up. The chilli paste, on the other hand is just blistering hot green chillies ground up.

Ron and I have been on a bit of a salmon kick the last few weeks. I love grilled salmon and am always trying to find new combinations for the grill. This may seems like an odd combo, but trust me, it is delicious. Neither the mustard or the lime are overp…

These potatoes go great with almost any meat you would think to pair them with. They are extremely simple to prepare and the longest part is the cooking time. Set them in the oven and basically forget about them for about 20-25 minutes. This allows you…

This is a really delicious salad that has almost no fat in it. It’s great flavor comes from the vinegar, herbs and salt. It’s also very versatile, it’s wonderful hot or at room temp but I didn’t care for it cold. Since it has no mayonnaise it can…

I like to use the 93/7 ground turkey (meaning 7% fat). 99/1 ground turkey is also available, but I find that to be too moist to work with, and the mixture usually ends up mushy. I also prefer the taste of the 93/7 mixture. The 93/7 is also more moist than…

This recipe is amazing! I made it while DH was out and very briefly dropped them into the deep fryer (that I haven't used in 2 1/2 yrs!) just to get them evenly browned all around. At that point I stashed them in the oven warmer and made the rest of dinne…
