I think everyone's mom or family member had a recipe for stuffed peppers they remember from their youth. Maybe not everyone feels this way, but I always loved stuffed peppers. This recipe is different than my Mother's, but still very very yummy. I mixed i…

I have loved quiche since I was a child, and now as an adult, I love it even more for it's versatility. You can make so many variations of quiche but this one is my favorite because of the classic flavors. Throw in any other additions that you would lik…

These simple wraps are a perfect change of pace from the normal sandwich. Creamy Thousand Island dressing and Gruyere cheese give it the Reuben flavor but since it is made with turkey, it is much healthier. Try it with some baked potato chips or a side…

One of my favorite supermarket shortcuts, pre-cooked frozen meatballs, make a star appearance in this super-easy and savory soup. Kids love meatballs, so I bet this will be a new favorite at your house. While this recipe does not cook in 30 minutes or les…

A simple and delicious fish recipe I learned a few years ago. Can be eaten as a soup, or the sauce can be drained and you can enjoy moist fish fish and wonderfully flavored veggies on their own.

My 11-year seasonal gig as the executive chef of the Driftwood Lodge in SE Alaska taught me a thing or two about cooking wild silver (coho) salmon. A very quick and easy way is to simply roast the fillet - bones in and skin on. Removing the bones from…

Seafood salad or Thai called "Yam Thale" Every bite of this seafood salad offers a taste-explosion of Thai flavors! At the same time, the dressing never overpowers the fresh taste of the seafood, but rather brings out all of its natural succulence. While…

This is really delicious. I love the bright flavors of orange, ginger and mint, and combined they are refreshing and wonderful. Tabbouleh is very easy to make and budget-friendly, as well.

Garden Gazpacho is a perfect meal for warm weather. I decided to make this when the temperature reached 105 and I did not want to turn on my oven or stove to make dinner. It is an extremely refreshing soup that is served chilled.

I saw the original version of this recipe on Giada's show (she used halibut), and of course, I had to tinker with it.
