I love the combination of peanut and ginger! I just can’t get enough of it. I’m having some work done on my kitchen this fall, so I’m stocking up on freezer meals. Neither Spiced Peanut Sheet Pan Chicken Supper nor Nutty Shrimp lends itself very well to a one-container freezer meal, so I needed to…

Adobo-Lime Chicken & Rice
This gorgeous, delicious dish is both filling and good for you! It’s quick and easy enough for a weeknight dinner and will feed two people with leftovers for lunch. It does have a bit of a kick; cut the cayenne in half if you prefer things on the mild side. Replace the broth with water…
Kitchen Curry
Why “Kitchen” Curry? I named it after the reason I developed it: After thirty years, I’m renovating my kitchen. We live in an old house, so we already know that renovation projects never go as planned. There’s always something turning up that nobody anticipated. Long story short, I will be without a kitchen for at…
Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp
Fresh, bright, delicious! This is one of my favorite recipes for the summer. It’s so simple, but the way the bay and lemon complement the shrimp is just perfect. It’s really easy to make, too. Sometimes I buy my shrimp already peeled and deveined because it saves a fair amount of time and effort. If…
Galangal Green Peppercorn Fusion
Sometimes, I just get lucky. It was one of those days that I just couldn’t think of anything I wanted to make for dinner. I put it off until the last minute.
Homemade Lasagna
“Lasagna: the world’s most perfect food!” — Garfield (Jim Davis) There are no two ways about it, lasagna is a labor of love. Whether you’re making it for someone you love, or because you really love lasagna, I can’t imagine making lasagna with indifference. If I just wanted pasta with sauce, I’d make spaghetti or…
Pork Tenderloin Goulash
It’s been a cool, damp spring this year. Ordinarily, by early June I’m thinking about summery foods, grilling, fresh veggies, that sort of thing. Instead, I’m thinking about stews, crockpots, and hot cocoa. Fortunately, I have most of my vegetable plants in the dirt already, so we’ve at least had a couple of good tossed salads. It will be a bit…
Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin
Someone asked me once if I ever get bored with pork tenderloin. I’ll admit, I do use it a lot. A single tenderloin is just the right size for two people and if it’s a large one, there might even be some leftovers for lunch. It’s incredibly versatile, and its leanness makes it a healthier…
