Deconstructed Salmon Sushi Bowls Recipe

Yippee!  It's Copper River salmon season!  I love, love, love wild salmon, but the best of the bunch is Copper River, which is available for a very short time May through June.  It's the most silky, rich salmon ever. It's also the most expensive, but worth it, in my opinion.  In honor of the season, ...

Mixed Berry Oat Bars Recipe

It's the weekend!  And it's long one!  Let's celebrate with some homemade treats!  Full disclosure -- I actually posted these bars many years ago.  But the images were so atrocious and I also updated the preparation method, so I thought it would be appropriate to re-post.  I have no doubt many of ...

I have been having so much fun lately with a bunch of new cookbooks, like this one from America’s Test Kitchen, called “Vegan for Everybody.” I was fortunate enough to hear Jack Bishop, ATK’s Editor and Chief Creative Officer, present this book at my local bookstore, Pages. I am fascinated by ...

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mamas out there!  My gift for Mother's Day is that my older daughter is coming home from college on Tuesday.  I could not be more excited!  I am patiently waiting for her to tell me what she wants me to cook this week, but I know she is super busy studying for ...

Whole-Grain Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet Cake Recipe

Let me warn you in advance that this skillet cookie has "dangerous" written all over it.  Yes, it contains whole wheat flour (or whatever GF flour blend you want, for that matter.) Sure it's dairy-free. No refined sugar, either. But I taught this recipe at least 20 times during the month of February ...

Dinner Planner: Week of May 8th, 2017

I just started a new menu in my cooking classes this past week!  We're doing a breakfast/brunch menu and it was absolutely delish.  I often post images from my classes on my Instagram stories, although sometimes my students eat everything before I have the chance!  This week is another busy week of ...

I start planning dinner parties in my head and other occasions which will give me an excuse to make these new ...

Jicama Slaw Recipe

Oh, how I love a good slaw.  I have taught so many of them over the years, from classic coleslaw to ones with Asian flavors, ones with fruit, spicy slaws, creamy slaws, you name it.  I especially love slaw with a Mexican meal which is often lacking in good non-starchy vegetable side dishes. ...
