It’s been a long weekend. Remodeling bathrooms leading to numerous trips to the hardware store, planning a trip in the near future, weather finally working out to leave windows open. Instead of having something nice and light for a summer afternoon meal, I have a chicken roasting in the oven. Can’t wait for some Continue reading Sunday Roast Chicken This is truly a weeknight meal. The soup came together very quickly. I added a bit of time purchasing previously frozen shrimp on the shell and cutting my own corn kernels from some farm stand corn. It was definitely worth it. This soup is a good starter soup for chowders.

Cooking Light Naan Recipe Continue reading Recipe: Butter Chicken This is definitely another quick cooking weeknight meal. My local grocery store didn’t have miso paste. Be sure not to buy miso soup mixes as the soup is a completely different animal. We’re just looking for the paste here…which is only one part of a miso soup. I found a package at Whole Foods. Continue reading Recipe: Miso-Glazed Salmon Great weeknight meal. The dish would be just as good without one of the proteins. The combination of the beans and shrimp are excellent…but over the top for those of you cost conscious consumers. If you like, this dish is easily morphed into other flavor combinations. I think some fresh oregano or fresh rosemary Continue reading Recipe: Warm Pasta Salad with Shrimp |
