It’s All About Sole (Lemony Dover Sole w/Capers)
Dover sole, that is. Sole is a kind of flat white fish which means it is low in fat and mild in flavor. This class of fish is a good source of protein, Vitamin D, Selenium, and B Vitamins to name a few. Delicate in size, sole cooks quickly and compliments the flavors you are cooking with. A few nights ago I made this… Continue reading It’s All About Sole (Lemony Dover Sole w/Capers)

New Beginnings
It’s new. It’s a beginning. Even though this has been not new at all. Not at all for me. For four years I’ve waited for this moment. (And it’s NOT that fried Oreos are a year round treat, though that is quite tempting to propose.) I am finally starting my private practice. Open as of… Continue reading New Beginnings
Doing Leftovers Right
Let’s be real for a second. How many of your evening meals are lazily referred to as leftovers? And then… you sigh. Perhaps frown. Why such the bad rap? I LOVE LEFTOVERS. Leftovers by design are functional, convenient, efficient, and inexpensive. (If you are like some members of my family who cannot even consider something… Continue reading Doing Leftovers Right

To round out this trifecta of “don’t use often,” I made this… Continue reading Beef and Barley (slow cooker meal)
“Mom, more salad please!”
Says my 5 year old at dinner last night. No lie. What’s my trick? It’s easy. 1. Texture. I happen to love chopped salads. Something about the mouth feel of small tiny bites of food. You can almost eat salad with a spoon. No large cumbersome pieces. No unnecessary and annoying chewing that takes forever.… Continue reading “Mom, more salad please!”
Salad… Hold the Chocolate Chips
Do you see anything funny about this picture? I do. Who puts chocolate chips on a salad?! My mother does. While at my house recently, she offered to make me a salad. Yes, I know what you all are thinking. Wow! Your mom cooks for you!! (Ok, maybe not.) Despite my mother’s cooking prowess and… Continue reading Salad… Hold the Chocolate Chips
Avec tête (aka Whole Fish Branzino)
When I was in college, I lived in the country side of France for a fall trimester. I lived with a host family who made delicious home cooked meals. Upon arrival, my host mother asked me if I had any food preferences and I admitted that other than veal, there was no food I wouldn’t… Continue reading Avec tête (aka Whole Fish Branzino)
You. Have. Time.
If you are like me, you are chest deep in the kids school and fall work routine. We are over the back to school hump, summer is definitely over, and now just chugging along. With that, many of us are faced with increased work demands, kids activities, fall commitments, and more. In other words, you… Continue reading You. Have. Time.
