I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Things have been pretty hectic for me lately, and I think I’ve spread myself a bit too thin. Over the next couple of months, my posts may be sporadic at best. I’m going to be going through in-vitro (more on that here) and, from what I’ve read, it’s no walk in the park. On the days when I’m feeling up to it, I’ll try to get some fresh content on here. Meanwhile, enjoy this 2-for-1 special! The Pesto       I had what looked like an abundance of  basil growing in a flower box by … Continue Reading →

      This recipe is based on an old newspaper clipping I’ve had for years. I can’t remember which newspaper it was from, but if I had to guess I’d say the Lowell Sun. This recipe is incredibly easy to prepare, and it tastes better than anything you’d get in a restaurant. The fat content may seem a little high, but remember that a lot of that fat is from Omega 3 fatty acids, so it’s beneficial. Ingredients: 1/2 cup orange marmalade 2 teaspoons sesame oil 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated 1 clove garlic 3 tablespoons … Continue Reading →

You don’t even have to measure the alcohol if you don’t want, just pour in a glug or so. I first made this dish trying to recreate the coconut crusted haddock served at the Naked Fish. It’s been so long since I’ve … Continue Reading →

Pan-Seared Scallops on Linguine with Tomato-Cream Sauce

Updated Lately it seems I don’t eat as healthy as I should, but I still love this recipe from the January 2003 issue of Cooking Light. It seems so indulgent with the cream and butter, but so little is used that you don’t have to feel guilty about it. I haven’t made it in a while, so I thought it would be a nice change from all those heavy holiday meals and leftovers I’ve been eating lately. I used a whole wheat pasta this time to make myself feel even better about it. It was perfect! Aside from the darker … Continue Reading →

Spicy Wok Shrimp with Coconut Rice

Updated I love fish with coconut flavors, so I fell in love with this recipe as soon as I saw it in  the July 2006 issue of Gourmet magazine. I made it again last night and decided it was about time to get a picture of it up on this site! Sriracha, if you’ve never had it, is a wonderfully spicy chili sauce that can be found in the Asian section of many grocery stores. It’s thicker and more flavorful than American pepper sauces and has a wonderful aroma. The heat of the sauce is nicely balanced by the coconut … Continue Reading →
