Recently, my friend Kristin at Brooklyn Forager blogged about her Red Wine Risotto recipe, and it sounded so good it immediately went on my "to make soon" list. When I finally had a chance to make it, I was torn - it sounded perfect as is, but, if you recall, the last time I blogged … Continue reading Red Wine Barley Risotto
After a week of feeding the munchkin french toast and scrambled eggs for dinner, I decided it's time to restock my freezer with some quick, go-to meals.

This recipe is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network and is delicious. The two recipes are very similar - both have grape tomatoes, pistachios, and … Continue reading Lentil Salad with Grapes
I am always trying to eat more salmon, so when I saw canned wild Alaskan salmon at Trader Joe's, I bought a few cans to give it a try. Problem was I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. In the back of my mind, I thought I'd heard of salmon cakes, something I'd … Continue reading Salmon Cakes with Lemon Dill Sauce
Beef stew is one of my favorite winter meals. Every year I make it once or twice when I'm in the mood for something really comforting, and so in preparation for this craving I ordered grass-fed stew beef the last time I was stocking up on meat from my CSA. Last week, as I was … Continue reading Beef Stew
Do you remember my Vegetable Risotto recipe? The one that I told you was delicious and healthy, with the exception that white rice has limited nutritional value?
