Tomato-Herb Summer Salsa for BeefThis isn’t exactly a salsa in the Mexican-dip-for-tortilla chips sense, but more of an uncooked, chunky thick sauce…maybe a dressing?  But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious.  It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken.  This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in.  Continue reading →

Quick Fresh Fruit SalsaA fresh fruit salsa is delicious and a lovely way to use perfect, in-season fruit.  This recipe is a good basic starting point, but jump off the flavor cart and come up with your own combinations.  Continue reading →

Sicilian-Style Tuna SteaksFresh tuna steaks, the thicker the better, are usually seared in a screaming hot cast iron skillet.  They are usually served with just a simply sauce.  This version is different and this is no ordinary sauce.  The tuna is briefly and gently simmered in a lovely, tomato-based, sweet and sour sauce.  Continue reading →

balsamic vinegar, black olives, Bread, cucumbers, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, garlic granules, honey, olive oil, pickled peppers, pita bread, radishes, Scallions, Tomatoes, wine vinegar

Fattoush-Panzanella SaladPanzanella or Fattoush?  That is the question.  In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not.   That makes no sense, does it?  At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in.  But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

Tomato-Corn ChowderI just made this for dinner tonight.  The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can.  However, he does enjoy this one.  This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup.  With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones.  Continue reading →

Touch-of-Spring CevicheWith 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….

Salmon with Greek FlavorsI’ve been thinking about Greek flavors recently.  Who knows why?  Maybe it’s the warm weather.  Those flavors—oregano, lemon, garlic, just seem so say, “Summer is here”.  And salmon is the perfect foil for these flavors. Continue reading →

TzatzikiTzatziki (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 →
