Halibut, Asparagus, & Potatoes With Cherry Tomato Salsa
I’m thrilled to be able to make this again! It’s such an old recipe that I have no idea where it came from. I only made it once all those years ago. We loved it, but our range hood wasn’t up to the task. With the bedroom and laundry room directly upstairs from the kitchen,…
Peas With Shallots & Parmesan
It hasn’t been a typical spring. Just chilly all the time, so I was very impatient to get my garden growing. I was in Trader Joe’s for some olive oil, and I happened across a little bag of fresh peas. It’s not very often I see fresh, shelled peas in the grocery store. Never before, in…

Five-Spice Sheet Pan Supper
One of the things I like best about sheet pan suppers is their versatility. Don’t have the veggies called for in your recipe? No problem — just substitute whatever you do have. The variations on seasonings are endless. If you want, you can have a sheet pan supper every week and never make…
