This deceptively simple salad is really quite delightful! So few ingredients, so much flavor. The combination of Oliva’s Cranberry-Pear Balsamic and Persian Lime Olive Oil is one of my favorites. The tartness of the tomatoes and Cranberry Pear Balsamic is a perfect balance to the sweetness of the Vidalia. The Persian Lime oil smoothly blends…

Spicy Peanut Chicken With Rice
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…
Citrus-Pickled Red Onion With Jalapeño
I love this recipe as a side for Pork Carnitas! Pickling the peppers and onions in a citrus brine is the perfect complement to the hint of citrus in the carnitas. It’s quick and easy to make, and of course goes with all sorts of other dishes, too. There’s very little sugar other than the…

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…
Greek Yogurt: Instant Pot
There are lots of reasons to make your own yogurt at home. Homemade is definitely cheaper if you eat a lot of yogurt. Plus, you and only you control what else goes into it. Thickeners, preservatives, artificial flavor, and sugar (sometimes lots of sugar) all frequently appear in store-bought yogurt. When you make your own…
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…
Dal (Instant Pot)
Here’s my Slow Cooker Dal recipe, reworked for making it in the Instant Pot. The IP user manual stresses that the pot shouldn’t be filled more than halfway “when cooking foods that expand during cooking such as grains, beans, and dried vegetables.” Lentils don’t expand as much as dried beans do, but I decided I’d better cut the…
