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.

Apple-Barley Chickpea Curry

Long enough ago that I can’t remember what put the idea in…

Fresh Ginger-Orange Chutney

A tiny bit tart, a hint of sweetness, and a playful nip of ginger. This bright chutney is the perfect accompaniment for Apple-Barley Chickpea Curry. You can serve it immediately, but you’ll enjoy it even more if you make it a day or two ahead of time. I don’t remember where I got these cute…

Cilantro-Mint Pesto

Too many fresh herbs is a wonderful problem to have. It seems I finally rid my Aerogarden of aphids (knock on wood), and now my cilantro is growing wild. My mint is beginning to emerge from the ground, and it looks like it may have more than doubled in size since last year. I’m really…

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…
