I’ve been enjoying having some soups tucked away in the freezer. They’ve been great for a quick meal when I don’t feel like cooking. This is a great soup that I was able to make with some leftover ham I had in the freezer. If you don’t have leftover you can buy some smaller hamRead more
For many years, someone in my family would celebrate their birthday at the Melting Pot. We usually just got cheese and chocolate (because those are the most delicious), but it always came with a delicious salad with blue cheese and candied walnuts. This salad reminds me of those Melting Pot salads. While I don’t normallyRead more
This Ginger Miso Tuna was awesome. It comes together really quickly, packs a ton of flavor and would easily work with other types of fish. I’ve had a tub of miso in the fridge for a really long time, it’s a great source of umami and lasts a really long time, so it’s great toRead more
Katsu is a breaded and fried Japanese dish, tonkatsu is breaded and fried pork. Growing up my mom would chicken katsu with bite-size pieces of chicken, it was super labor intensive, but so delicious. Tonkatsu is traditionally served with rice and shredded cabbage, and you can’t forget the bulldog sauce. Bulldog sauce is a uniqueRead more
I love a good breakfast. This baked apple pancake immediately caught my eye on social media, especially with cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg included. This baked apple pancake is like a stuffed popover, the edges are crisp, the apples are tender, and the pecans add a delicious crunch. This is similar to German Pancakes, but areRead more
I’ve made these shrimp sheet pan fajitas multiple times now, they’re so easy and delicious. The dressing for this is great, it’s smokey and a little sweet. You can pair it with any veggies you like, I like to use bell peppers, onions, and red cabbage, but this is a great way to use upRead more
It’s been several years since we’ve had pecan pie for Thanksgiving. We typically have sour cream pumpkin pie, and recently we added pumpkin cheesecake and then apple pie, so there’s not really a need for yet another dessert. But since everything is different this year and we’ll not be doing Thanksgiving at all, I decidedRead more
I’ve always been intrigued by a panzanella salad, crunchy bread soaking up delicious juices of fresh tomatoes…what’s not to love. But it’s taken me years to finally get around to trying this! It did not disappoint! This is perfect if you have some leftover sourdough, or any crusty bread will do. This is great withRead more
Temperatures are dropping, so I spent this weekend removing our 4 tomato plants, and holy moly did I end up with a lot of tomatoes! Two large bowl-fulls. After a call out on my social media, I got a great suggestion to make Green Tomato Quick Bread, it totally blew my mind to think ofRead more
As a dietitian I talk about appetite a lot. With every new resident, I ask about how their appetite has been recently. And it’s always interesting to hear what people have to say, especially when telling about their appetite leads to talking about everything else that’s been going on recently. Some people eat a lotRead more
