We were at the Cazenovia, NY farmers market last week with Claudia & Dave, and came across a booth for the Syracuse Salt Company. They had samples of lots of different salts and these gorgeous pink Himalayan salt slabs. I just had to have one, especially once I learned that you can cook on them….

Planked Swordfish with Blueberry Jazz
On my way home from PT, I thought I’d stop to see if Gade had any dill plants left. Mine bolted, & I neglected to buy seed. While there, I found – yay! – they also had fresh sweet corn & blueberries! And some Oscar’s smoked cheese, but that’s for tomorrow. And, lucky me, Fin fishmonger is just a bit further…
Smoky Grilled Rosemary-Balsamic Chicken With Green Beans & Kamut
Sublime! The smoky flavors of the plank & cheese meld perfectly with the rosemary and balsamic. It does require a little advance prep, but it’s so worth it! Ten to fifteen minutes to whip up the marinade in the morning, and an hour to cook the kamut before dinner. While it’s cooking, there’s plenty…
Baked Vidalia
Don’t you just love this time of year? So many yummy veggies in season! I seem to put Vidalias in nearly everything. They’re so sweet, they don’t even need cooking most of the time. In fact, their flavor is so mild that they just disappear in some cooked dishes. So, on the tail ends of their…
Black Bean Veggie Spuds
It was Monday. We got home that Sunday night from a trip – well, when I say “Sunday night” I mean really early Monday morning. I think I fell asleep around 01:30, & got up at 06:00. Did I feel like cooking dinner? Not really. Did I feel like I needed to eat healthy? Oh,…
Dilly-Lemon Planked Salmon
This is a magnificent way to cook salmon. It’s truly scrumptious, quick, easy, healthy, & clean-up is a snap. Not even a mess to scrape off the grill! The skin sticks to the plank, so it’s even easy to serve. You do need a little lead time to soak the plank, but after that the recipe…

Easy Cucumber Salad
This has been a favorite in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom used to make it with red onions, but I prefer Vidalias. Either way, it’s fast, easy, & scrumptious! It’s best with young cukes with underdeveloped seed cavities, or with seedless cukes, but any will do. If the only…
