Rumor has it that spaghetti puttanesca originated in brothels as a way to lure in customers with its rich aroma. All I can say is that I hope the ladies saved some for themselves. Goodness knows they probably needed it more than their customers. 😉
Roasted Tomato Sauce is one of those simple, unassuming sauces that doesn’t look like much but then knocks you over with how absolutely delicious it is, adding a crazy amount of flavor to everything it touches. This is my favorite thing to do with all those summer tomatoes.
If I am at a good restaurant and there is pasta bolognese on the menu, it’s pretty much a sure thing I’m going to order it. It doesn’t matter what my intentions were up until that point, or how long I comb the menu for other options. The word, “bolognese” lodges itself in my brain and convinces me that there is nothing else in the world I want more. Besides being completely delicious, there’s something about it that is intently satisfying.
Pasta tossed in a silky miso butter sauce, with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, bitter greens, and miso roasted carrots, then topped with flaky sugar and spice coated salmon. This elegant, umami rich dish tastes like something you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant, but comes together in about 35 minutes.
Folks, THIS creamy, dreamy potato salad with tuna is all I want to eat for the rest of the summer. Maybe the rest of the year. Honestly, the creamy Avocado and Herb Green Sauce could make pretty much anything taste good. But, there’s also potatoes. And wild caught tuna fillets. And fresh cherry tomatoes. You know your salad is going to be good when you’d happily eat a plateful of every single individual component all on its own.
This is how to enjoy delicious sushi at home in about 30 minutes. Perfectly seasoned bowls of sushi rice topped with fresh veggies, chives, avocado, sesame seeds and wild caught tuna fillets. Add even more flavor with spicy, creamy sushi sauce or wasabi soy sauce.
Homemade cheddar crackers are topped with garlic mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, orange slices, almond chili salsa and tender flakes of Cedar Roasted Applewood Salmon with Orange and Ginger. Each little one-bite appetizer is a powerhouse of bright, fresh FLAVOR and sure to impress.
Chicken thighs marinated in lemon, tahini paste, garlic, and herbs are grilled and served over couscous with a chili yogurt tahini sauce. Simple, quick, crave-worthy.
This Thai chicken soup is slightly spicy, light and creamy, and packed with tender chicken, bok choy, rice noodles, and the flavors of curry and coconut.
This colorful spring salad is a delicious mix of couscous, asparagus, carrots, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and arugula, all dressed up with spoonfuls of shockingly delicious sweet and sour Agrodolce.
