How to Roast Garlic

June 1, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Roasted garlic is one of those things that seems to have some underserved mystique about it. The mystique about the flavor is well-founded. It is deliciously soft and smooth and wonderful.  But any mystique about its preparation is not.  Set aside half an hour or so and know that you can roast garlic ahead of [...]

Sauted Tiliapia Fillets

June 1, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I got this from an online cooking group a long time ago and can’t remember who to thank for the recipe. I liked the flavor and it’s very easy to adjust the number of servings up or down. Tilapia fillets Italian salad dressing of your choice salt pepper Old Bay Seasoning ground cumin Pour enough [...]

Leeks and Bacon with Simple Salmon

April 7, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This was from Rachael Ray Express Lane Meals: What to Keep on Hand, What to Buy Fresh for the Easiest-Ever 30-Minute Meals, a book I’m finding some good ideas in, although I nearly always change something. Still, the inspiration is worthwhile! Last night I made a leek and bacon side dish to go with some [...]

Slow Cooked Salmon

June 8, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I have made this salmon from Fast Food My Way several times and it never fails. It is incredibly moist and good–and totally easy. It’s great for entertaining because you can get it all ready, then pop it in the oven about an hour before you want to eat. The only disadvantage is because the [...]

Spinach Salad with Scallops, Bacon, and Cider Vinaigrette

April 7, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I’d about given up on Cooking Light recipes but they may have won me back with this one. Both my girls loved it and it went together quickly and easily. I used frozen bay scallops rather than the larger sea scallops and just cooked them a bit less. I think it would be better with [...]

Kumquats

March 29, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Kumquats are an interesting fruit. They look like a small oval orange, about as big as the first joint of your thumb. Unlike an orange, it’s the peel that’s sweet while the inside flesh is a bit sour. If you like candied orange peels, you’d probably love these. They have a bit of pucker power [...]

Talapia Chowder

February 14, 2008 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My sister gets credit for this one, although the basis came from a cookbook I recommended to her a few years ago. I suppose you could use other white fish, including cod or haddock, but I’ve been buying the flash frozen packages of Talapia at Costco and that’s what I used. This fed 3 of [...]

Shrimp and Pasta with Red Peppers and Peas

June 11, 2007 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Last night was one of those nights where I started with one idea and for various reasons it morphed into something else entirely. First, I was going to make shrimp kebobs with mushrooms and peppers and a mango dipping sauce that I saw in an old Cooking Light book. I had the shrimp out to [...]

Quick Marinated Barbecued Salmon

May 22, 2007 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I dislike cooking fish in the house because of the odor it leaves behind, so I’ve been doing more and more barbecuing of fish. I also tend to cook the flash frozen fish, as I seldom plan ahead enough these days for fresh fish it seems. I’ve been finding some good recipes in What’s for [...]

Flexible Fish Filets with Honey Mustard Sauce

April 27, 2007 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I love recipes that scale, that are just as easy to do for two people or ten! You could bake or broil (or grill?) these filets. I broiled them. I’m not a big fish expert but would venture to guess this would work pretty much the same on each white fish filet. I used a [...]
