Wow, is this ever tasty! A great example of how healthy food definitely does NOT need to be boring or taste like sawdust. And you get a pretty big plate of food for under 600 calories!

Leeky Shrimp
Here’s one of my favorite shrimp recipes. It’s light & flavorful, a real crowd pleaser. I came up with this recipe years ago, when the kids were all younger & still home. I don’t remember who came up with the name, but we all agreed it was a fun one. It may be the only main dish recipe…
Planked Rosemary Pork Tenderloin With Dark Chocolate Balsamic and Orange
A few weeks ago, I went a little crazy at Oliva in Stuyvesant Plaza. So many oils & vinegars, so little time! One of the vinegars I’ve been itching to try is their Dark Chocolate Balsamic. My sister & brother-in-law were coming to dinner, so I made guinea pigs of them. There isn’t at all a discernible…

Summer Veggie & Potato Medley
The challenge: Use up some garden vegetables before they have a chance to go bad. The result: An easy, delicious salad! My cucumber vines were done, so it was time to harvest the cukes & clean up the box for a late planting of sugar peas. My basil needed pinching and the grape tomatoes &…
What’s in the garden this week?
This hasn’t been my best garden year, but it hasn’t been the worst either. I ran late getting it started, because all the Earthboxes on my south table had to get emptied (Thanks, Jake!) & sterilized, then refilled. I’ve had tomato blight for a few years running. One of the disadvantages of my tables is that I can’t effectively…
