Spicy Peanut Noodles are great for summer, though the ingredients transcend seasons. They can be a side dish or the main course, depending on what you add. These are so much more than just noodles and I always serve them when we celebrate the Asian New Year. Continue reading

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 was a quick-fix if you happened to bring home some char siu pork or (Chinese BBQ pork) from the Asian market. And you really should do that. It’s good stuff and good to have on hand, if for no other reason than to make this wrap. It was deeeeeeeeeeelicious! Continue reading

Think of this cole slaw as a “monsoon” of tropical flavors…pineapple, mango, orange…need I say more? Okay, maybe I do, but you’re going to want to slap this on some fish tacos or anything seafood-y. Or just have it for breakfast. 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 wonderful on a hot day. And there are still have a few hot days around. This is a riff on the shrimp salad my mother used to make. She used canned shrimp, because we didn’t get much fresh or frozen shrimp in the Northern Plains back in the day. But, we’ve come a long way baby. Continue reading

It’s that time of year, when the garden’s abundance is at its pinnacle and the summer heat is beyond The Goddess’s tolerance. But, you still want to eat. This is the perfect meal to be the heat and use some of those veggies—cucumbers, radishes, onions, zucchini, corn and of course, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes! Continue reading

Tzatziki (zat-ZEE-key) is truly summer. Oh yeah, it’s good all year long, but it runs screaming through summer. It’s nasty hot, isn’t it? So it’s time to think about cool things, like this sauce. This is great sauce to serve with Greek Salmon. Continue reading
