Sesame Soy Salmon (an easy 4-ingredient marinade)

Four simple ingredients come together with ease in this flavor-packed marinade that makes the most of salmon and so much more!   I could hardly let a summer pass without sharing some version of my favorite 3-ingredient marinade. This marinade has been quite popular with my family and friends for at least a decade now,…

Ginger Soy Glazed Salmon

Sometimes, time just gets away from me!  I have been meaning to make this recipe for months.  Sonali of The Foodie Physician fame is a dear friend who happens to be a culinary-school trained ER doctor.  It’s a unique skill set–one that promises a conversation with Sonali will always be fascinating. Knowing my love of salmon, Sonali…

Easiest Marinated Grilled Veggies

Equal parts of 3 basic ingredients create a flavorful marinade that can be used in so many ways. So easy you can memorize it! These colorful grilled veggies are a regular here.

Foot Bridge Grilled Chicken (also known as A Third-A Third-A Third Chicken)

A flavor-packed marinade with just three basic ingredients makes this oldie-but-goodie ideal for both busy weeknights and casual backyard entertaining. I always prepare more than I need the first night, as leftovers are delicious cold, reheated, and as a leveled-up base for your favorite chicken salads. The marinade works beautifully with vegetables too. Over the…

Sesame Peanut Noodles

I have two favorite preparations for noodles in a peanut sauce so, before I chose one for this space, I made them both for dinner recently.  My family declared a tie in the side-by-side comparison.  They were no help!  It almost came down to a coin toss, but ultimately, I chose this recipe because I…

Hoisin Beef Skewers (or Whole Flank Steak)

Prep-ahead convenience, versatility, and appealing flavor make this recipe a go-to for easy weeknight grilling and weekend entertaining.    I’m the type of person who thinks about dinner as I am eating breakfast. So, it may not be surprising that I ponder what to cook for my newspaper column up to a month in advance!…

Honey Sesame (or Flax) Pork Tenderloin

A little kitchen experimenting yielded fabulous results in this easy-to-make, Asian-inspired recipe that’s become a favorite with kids and adults alike. As cooler weather arrives, I am using our grill less frequently and returning to some of my favorite oven and slow cooker meals.  The following pork tenderloin recipe is simple yet flavorful and pairs…

Lemon Tahini Dressing

Loving big, hearty, healthy salads as I do, I often get ideas in my head about flavors I think would taste great together.  Cooler weather means the arrival of all sorts of root vegetables and winter squash, not to mention a myriad of greens. I created this nutty-tasting dressing to stand up to the flavors…

Summer Sauté

In the warmer months, many of the green vegetables are so tender, they need only a quick sauté to bring out their best flavor.  I love this combination and will often keep it simple, sautéing in olive oil with a bit of salt and pepper.  In a few extra minutes and with minimal ingredients, however,…

Thai Bok Choy Salad with Ginger Peanut Sauce

People often say that restaurant salads taste better than what they make at home.  This recipe will change their minds!  The beauty of this salad is that it can be made a thousand different ways based on what you are in the mood for and what you have on hand. Typically, I make a similar…

Thai Ginger Peanut Sauce

In my quest to seek out and shine a light on one delicious recipe each week from other cooks, something from my friend Ann (yes, another Ann!) of Sumptuous Spoonfuls fame, caught my eye.  I adore Thai flavors, love all things peanut-ty, and haven’t made anything which fits that bill recently.  Having some ingredients that…

Beef Vermicelli Lettuce Wraps

This dish has it all…crunchy veggies, savory protein, satisfying noodles, and a flavorful sauce which provides exceptional flavor. Of course, there’s the fun factor, too: Roll it all up in a big lettuce leaf and grab a napkin. A thin, vermicelli rice noodle is traditional in this type of recipe. Sometimes, I mix it up…
