So we had Vietnamese-Flavored Meatloaf on Friday, and it’s hot today, so perfect day to satisfy my Banh Mi craving. But, I decided to lighten it up a bit and make a wrap, instead of a sandwich…and I didn’t have the bread, but I did have flour tortillas. Continue reading

This is a quick-fix dinner for Cinco de Mayo. If you have leftover chicken from Sunday dinner, like the Brazilian Bakery Sunday Chicken, then you’re set. If not, purchase one of those broasted chickens from the supermarket. This is a perfect patio dinner on a hot summer day. Continue reading

This salad is good at any time of the year. It is a great summer salad, as no mayo, but it also is lovely in the autumn, when the leaves turn about the same color as the salad. Make it the day ahead and chill it overnight. But, it’s best eaten at room temperature. Add some red chile flakes for a little heat, when the thermometer dips. Continue reading

This is one of those lovely concoctions that’s so refreshing you want to eat the whole bowl yourself (don’t think I haven’t done that once or twice!). It is as beautiful as it is delicious, and nutritious, too. What’s not to love? Continue reading

This is a beautiful salad. It positively screams “Spring”! It’s green…really green. And it has texture, as well as a velvety quality from the lettuces. The Mustard-Maple Vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for the salad. Continue reading

I was thinking about making sushi, but just didn’t get myself organized enough to manage that. This is sushi, but “unrolled” or deconstructed—layers of flavor. This is fork food. Chopsticks won’t work too well here, but the flavors are deliciously sushi. Continue reading

Pasta and bean salads are great for summer. Because this doesn’t have any mayonnaise in the dressing, it holds up well when the sun sizzles and you don’t want to. Continue reading

With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading

This is a savory option for our crêpes. It’s pretty much a chicken enchilada, but with crêpes, duh. The sauce is lovely and loaded with flavor. Even though it has heavy cream, using broth lightens the sauce. Continue reading
